So this is my weight loss - food blogging - general weight ranting - diary. ^^ For as long as I've lived (hint, my whole life) I've been overweight. Fat. Big-boned. Whatever you prefer to call it, and I've been teased mercilessly because of it. It's what ultimately caused my mom's death (she was young, 36 or 37, of a sort of 'heart attack') and staggered most of my family members with debilitating conditions. I didn't suddenly say, one day, I'm gonna lose weight, either. (Okay, I have a few times, and no, I didn't get anywhere but a short run and a couple cookies afterwards because I decided it wasn't 'worth it'.)

I actually starting losing weight by accident. Anemia crept up on me, and with having low blood, for me, comes with having ultimately no appetite. So, voila, I lost weight. It hit me I 'could' do it then and decided to actually start trying. So here's to getting to a size six. :)

Starting Weight: 250lbs
Current Weight: 198lbs
Goal Weight: 135lbs
Height: 5'5ft
Current Pant Size: 14 :(

And to kick it off, here's what I ate today. ^^

Brekkie:
Instant Oatmeal (This is a staple of mine, eat it every morning without fail)

Lunch:
I was lazy, had a plain bagel with jelly. Not very healthy ..

Dinner:

Green Beans
Mashed Potatoes
Ham (soaked in brown sugar and coke, I was so ashamed, mostly because I haven't tasted coke even in moderation in over a year.)

Snacks:

100 Calorie Pack

Overall, it was about 1100 calories, I think. Tomorrow I'm going to change my diet a bit, put more veggies and stuff in there. Even though it seems small enough I don't think my meal plan is health-oriented .. and I'm aware I didn't have enough calories today, oops.

Any food suggestions?
 
a staple of mine while losing weight in the past has been hard boiled eggs, I only eat the whites..I just love those things, they've got a good amount of protein in them for little caloric cost.
 
Today was fairly .. light. I had oatmeal and coffee for brekkie, a hard-boiled egg and ham and cheese sandwich for lunch, and then nibbled on some cornbread, nothing else. I'm not feeling hungry at all, which is quite odd. I may eat a baked potato for dinner, but I doubt it. I'll probably have to be upped on my iron tablets, I'm feeling weak lately; that might be a reason, my blood's gotten low again.
 
I've been tired all day, honestly. I'm hoping to get a doctor's appointment soon to get my blood levels checked. Anyways, for brekkie I ate instant oatmeal and had coffee. Lunch was a turkey and cheese sandwich with a cup of applesauce, and as a snack I had a hundred calorie pack. I wasn't that much hungry at dinner, so I only ate tuna and crackers. I know. Hopefully I'm going to get my eating fixed soon, it's all out of wack and I'm not getting enough food. Thankfully there's grocery shopping tomorrow.

:)
 
Ergghh ... had the same thing for brekkie, instant oatmeal and coffee. For lunch I had a cup of applesauce and a plain bagel with a small amount of jelly .. as a snack I had a half a cup of soy milk. Dinner was a cup of soy milk and a medium bowl of chili, except the chili was really just soup with no beans or meat and a couple crackers.

I ate a little more today, I think.
 
Waah .. I haven't posted in a couple days. Oh well, I don't think anyone but me is keeping track of this thing anyways. ^^

I had coffee for breakfast, that was it. Bad, bad, I know. For lunch I had some sort of small pasta dish (only 240 calories and god I was so full!) with a glass of milk. Dinner will probably be cut up pieces of cantaloupe or something with a sandwich. Kind of switched dinner and lunch around today. ;)
 
Woah, I have not posted in forever. D: Sorries. I am happy to say though in the period in between I stepped on the scales and weigh 190lbs/95kg. So down about eight pounds? Yep. I've been struggling lately, though, probably because I've been idle for weeks and doing nothing for me equals woah, I'm bored, might as well eat. So not good.

Today, in terms of food, sucked. I go from one extreme to another, not getting enough or getting too much. I honest to god need to find a balance. :(
