India's diary

Last night I haven't had the time to come here, so I'll write my menu today:

breakfast: biscuits and milk soy
lunch: legumes soup with pasta
snack: apple
dinner: vegetable soup, bread, spinaches, meat

I feel bloated these days. I hope this will not reflect on my weigh in on wednesday. I weighed this morning and I was till 85.3 kg, just like wedneday. I was hoping to have dropped a little weight...well, if this week I won't lose any weight I'll lose more next week. :)

Have a good weekend everyone!
 
Yesterday we had friends over for dinner. My boyfriend prepared a delicious paella and some pasta with radish and gorgonzola. :drool5: I loved it! But I managed to eat just a small portion. Then I had some meat and (unfortunately) some sweet things like 1 cookie, 1 little piece of cake and 1 little frittella (it's an italian kind of flapjack).
Today I'm aiming for 1400 cals instead of 1600 to make up for yesterday. I'm also doing 1 hour excercise.
I'm happy I managed to keep a positive attitude about my little laps though, because in the past I was desperate everytime I ate somenthing more than planned and I ended up eating a lot. I thought that since I had ruined it, it didn't matter if I binged. Now I'm trying to take this whole diet thing in a more relaxed way, so I'm happy I ate those things yesterday, first of all because I had been craving for candy the whole week and now I'm satified. Then, I was with my friends and I don't want to be the crazy diet-lady anymore (I used to get angry at people who ate things I liked in front of me. Shame on me).

I'll post my menu tonight.

Hope everyone's having a great day.

Yeah, sometimes it's good to eat a little treat to avoid a huge splurge later on.

Congratulations on maintaining a positive attitude!
 
I think you have a great attitude about your eating habits.

I try not to beat myself up over some caloric overages here and there. I figure, I eat 1200-1300 calories on a regular basis, the occasional 1500-1600 day isn't going to hurt plus I'd like to believe that as long as I'm eating the right way and living the right lifestyle, my body is going to naturally end up where I want it to be.
 
Maverick Thanks! I try to do my best. It's not always easy but I try to saty focused and remember that food has to be enjoied not only controlled.

lanadefemme Yes, it's the lifetyle that counts, not the occasional over-eating.

CaseyAtMartin It was so good I wanted to eat it all! My boyfriend's really good at cooking. Fortunately, he doesn't do it often or I'd be as big as a whale.
 
Today's menu:

breakfast: 3 biscuits and soy milk
snack: 2 clementines
lunch: 70 gr pasta with tomato sauce + 100 gr chicken + radish
dinner: 70 gr bread + 130 gr meat + lettuce and tomatoes

Today I ate less carbs and used 1 teaspoon less of olive oil. I also exercised for 1 hour, so as to make up for yesterday sweets.
Overall calorie intake: 200 less than usual. Tomorrow I'm going to be back to normal.

I'm pretty worried about the surgery I'm going to have on wednesday. I try not to think about it but sometimes I can't help it and I'd like to cry. I'm really scared. I wish it was all over.
 
Oh sweetie. I can't blame you for being scared. I know it will be just fine though. Honestly, if you feel like crying it might make you feel better if you let yourself cry. Just think it will be over with soon!

You're such a cutie. I really enjoy reading your journal entries. I agree with you that it good to splurge here and there.. it gets it out of your system.

I don't always want to be associated by my friends as 'The Dieter', either. Thats why I like coming here cause I can get out my thoughts and feelings, celebrate sucesses and vent about slip ups, with people who understand. Then I don't feel compulsed to talk about it with non-dieters!

Keep up the great attitude!!!

I'm getting more scared as time goes by. I couldn't sleep last night and probably won't be able to sleep tonight either. I know it sounds stupid, I'm sure there are more painful and complicate surgeries than the one I have to do, but I can't help being nervous. I wish it was already tomorrow.When it's over it's over.

I was thinking this morning that I would like to tell everybody how happy I am everytime I see the scale going down, even if only just a little. But when you do things like that people think you're obsessed with diet. Fortunately this forum is full of people who know what we feel like and are happy to share our joys with us.
 
2nd week update

I'm updating my ticker today since tomorrow I'll obviously be offline.

The second week of diet has gone better than I thought. I've lost another kg and I'm really satisfied with how things are going. Next week the weight loss will probably slow down, but it's ok.
The most important thing for me is that I'm now officialy under 85 kg so the 90s are getting far from me. I was so scared to get to weigh 90kg.

Sorry for the short post but I'm really nervous about tomorrow and can't find anything else to say. :blush5:

weigh in: 84.4 :hurray:
 
Great job on your weigh in! Tommorrow will go well.

It will be over so soon! I'll be thinking of you tommorrow!

Sending good thoughts your way!
