It needs to happen NOW!!

Maybe you should try brown rice! I love white rice and still eat a lot of it, but brown rice is much better for you! In normal rice cookers it needs the same amount of time and if you give it time it even becomes fluffy and nice!

Yeah I didn't make my goal this week either (wanted 2 pounds, only managed 1), but don't get upset. A weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds is the healthy way to do this, so don't get upset if you don't lose 5 pounds next week! It just means you are doing it the better way! As some people on here say: you didn't gain the weight in a month, why should you lose it all in a month? So take it easy!
Love, Camy

Diet was so shitty.

My diet was SUPER shitty yesterday...I probably ate at least 4000 calories...binge style too so it wasn't even enjoyable :( I'm trying really hard to just move on, and I'm about to go get a great workout in. The weather is going to be gorgeous today too. Things in life are good. I should be happy.

I hope your diet goes well today! You've already made some great progress. It's not going to stop now! :)
 
As long as you keep the binges to the exception as opposed to the rule, you'll be fine. But you're not gonna lose weight eating a whole frozen pizza by yourself..lol. :D

Just b/c you're dieting doesn't mean you can't eat the yummy, naughty stuff you love. Just keep it in moderation. Eat it slowly, enjoy it. Have one or 2 slices--and you'll be fine. This lecture is for me as well as you, bc I haven't made the best food choices lately, either. :angelsad2:
 
Camy, I didn't know....but...I CAN COOK BROWN RICE IN A REGULAR OL' RICKE COOKER?!?!?! .....

gymchica, that's what I did yesterday! and! I put in the best, (longest), workout ever since I've been on this forum...just gotta move on! Good luck with you!! I hate binge eating.....which I just did...such a familiar old path...it did leave me feeling physically awful, and guilty! ...junk food = a gassy laura...found the answer to my
problem!


Kimberly, I am still stunned and quite embarassed that I killed the whole pizza myself. I put away those 3 slices and was entertaining the idea of eating them...I remembered how good the pizza was and basically said "oh fuck it" and went for it...with some ruffles. moderation is key. moderation!! if fresco sells individual portion sizes of their pizza, i'll definitely buy. my housemates are so nice to me! yesterday, she went out to buy wendys..and bought wendys for the whole house!!!
 
Good morning everyone!!!

I am not getting on the scale today.
I did not attend class this morning, I woke up at 630am and went back to sleep. I love a warm bed!

Hey Laura just checking in to see how you did this weekend. Looks like you ate things you're not happy about... Oh well. Chalk it up to a cheat day (or two lol) and move on. I agree with bikinibound, as long as the majority of the time you are eating right and exercising, you will lose weight. Remember, this is your LIFE, your diet has to be something you can LIVE with. If it isn't, you might need to make some changes. Also, ALWAYS have a complete day of rest on exercise and diet. It makes the next 6 days easier to handle! AND as far as the 175 today vs. 170 yesterday, there is NO WAY ON EARTH you gained 5 pounds in a day... water weight.
Chin up! Today is a new day! :D
 
Hey,
thanks for stopping into my diary!
Take your weight loss slow. Slow is the best, because it is most likely going to stay off. More so than weight you lose fast. U know?

You def will reach the 160s, but maybe not as fast as you hope. But I hope you do soon. You have a good day. I will stop in again. :)

always

Today's Food Log
0930am- 1/2 cup of oatmeal

This research paper is not going to write itself. This forum is time consuming and enjoyably addictive.
 
Ladies, I have terrible news.

Bad news:
I ate my feelings. Alot of it, korean bbq (kalbi), eggs, ice cream, sushi, spring rolls, fruit, chocolates.

Good news:
I went to safeway and bought brown rice and am cooking it right now. The chicken breast and sirloin is defrosting so I can cook something. I also purchased some fruits for this week.

Worse news:
I am ashamed. I don't think I'm going to go on the scale this week. The damage can't be undone. I worked so hard to get to 170.- and i just blew it all away. I've NEVER been down to 170 since moving up for college. The lowest I was before was probably 173....why laura...why...

This sets me back like 2 weeks.....dammit. i'm so mad at myself. not to the point of tears, but to the point of disgust and self-pity.

I'm so full even though I want to work out, i can't because i'll throw up.

my damn throat, i'm filling that pain,,,,everytime i eat something, i don't feel the pain. i just need to do that salt gurgle. which i'm going to go do. cause i don't think i can eat anything else. i hate being sick.

Laura Laura Laura! Calm down! You did NOT do 2 weeks worth of damage. You had ONE bad day... ONE! Forgive yourself and do better tomorrow. That's all you can do! You are not alone. We are all here going through the same things... Today was a bad day, tomorrow can be better! Honestly, stop beating yourself up. The more you stress yourself out about it, the more likely you are to binge again... let it go. Tomorrow is a new day and YOU CAN DO THIS!
 
Yup, I agree. Beating yourself about it isn't going to make it better. You'll just feel worse, and reach for food to comfort you. And that makes you feel worse--see the vicious cycle? Time to break that.

Honestly, most of that weight gain is probably water retention due to all the sodium you've no doubt been consuming. Just an fyi--canned tuna has a lot of sodium in it.

SO, clean slate, get back on the wagon, and move forward--no looking back. :grouphug:
 
Step 1:
Marinated the beef and chicken in salt, black pepper, parsley flakes, and mrs dash salt-free seasoning. I also defrosted some veggies. The brown rice came out well!! I have everything ready for me now....

Step 2:
Curing this sore throat. Drinking green tea at the moment. Besides my inability to control my intake, this sickness is to blame. I hate not feeling top-notch.

Thanks Paulab and Kimberly....to prevent this from being a familiar cycle, I must jump back on NOW rather than a week later. now? well it's already 1015pm, but yes. now.

I'll update tomorrow. Today was a rough day. Diet-wise, research-paper-wise, and general life-wise.
 
Aww I'm sorry you had a bad day yesterday. I understand completely howyou feel about the disgust and self-pity. There's nothing you can do now though except make today better and LEARN from this experience. Easier said than done, but you can do it! You are still WELL on your way to reaching your goals. You don't seem like the type of person who'd let one day get in your way. You're the one in control!
 
Someone stole the front wheel of my bike.

In UC Davis, you need a coddamn bike. and someone stole my front wheel.
