thanks jess

it is indeed very difficult to combine your ideas of healthy eating/calorie control with the rest of the world. also especially difficult when you don't feel like looking like some sort of ocd person when your friends propose to grab a bite out.
i am good with passing on things many times, heck i've even seen one of my mates here eat two whole pizzas while i stood there and watched, sipping my diet coke, but many times you just can't help it.
another problem i face is that 1. i am a late eating person, so if i have a lunch out i also have to have dinner otherwise i will be starving and not be able to sleep
and 2. if someone proposes we have dinner instead it means i have used up allocated calories for the remaining day so i only have a specific amount for my planned dinner, so eating out still leaves me at a disadvantage.
now...how to find a balance.. i WILL!!!! somehow.
anyway, today's been quiet, i stayed home and socialized through the beautiful power of the internet.
this morning the scale showed 69.5 so whoohooo!
food wise:
breakfast: 30g of special K with 100g of semiskimmed milk
snack: 1 banana
lunch:1 wholewheat pita bread cut in half with 1 sliced tomato and 30 grams of low-fat cheddar over the halves-->grilled--> mmm
snack: 22grams of almonds
dinner is going to be 75grams of wholewheat pasta with the remaining bolognese sauce from last night
adding the usual 200g of milk for coffee brings us to 1500 for the day.
