Lukewarm's Weight Loss Diary

Yeah, I've really been thinking about it a lot. Luckily I have a half day next week, and then the week after I have 3! I'd rather have a whole day off, but at least on the half day I could go to my CK in the morning (so a slight sleep in) and then I wouldn't have to rush to go after work and I could eat a a decent hour.

Try not to think about the whole plateau thingy. You're doing awesome, so just keep up the good work. I hope to get back to losing weight soon with my program, and also 95% of my easter stuff is gone... :p lol... I didn't eat it all, my bf ate more than half, but I did eat my fair share I'm telling you!
 
I was completely bad today. I was just so sick of my current diet. I went out and had lo mein, so quite honestly I probably ingested 3004993 million calories today. I haven't exercised yet either, so I definitely need to hop on the treadmill, but I can practically feel the grease weighing me down, :( I wish there was a "vomit" smiley. I guess this could work :eek: Well here it is.

-Breakfast: Cream of Wheat-500 calories
-Lunch: Mashed Potatoes-300 calories
-Snack: Jello-15 calories
-Dinner: Lo Mein & Hot-Sour Soup AND the soft part of a cheese wonton- 1200 calories at least I'm sure
-Water: 1.5 L

-Playlist: Pixies. Nirvana.
-Miles Today: 1.5 miles
-Total Miles: 48.5 miles

I've never heard of lo mein, what is that?

Don't feel bad about it, you're allowed to treat yourself every so often. Besides you can still exercise to work part of it off. I think the worst thing that could happen from eating that is maintaining your weight for the day which isn't so bad. I don't think you'll gain any, esp if you exercise. Besides, think about how you're doing as a whole and not about this one little part. As a whole if you're eating great and exercising, one meal isn't going to make you gain 10 pounds, so just think of it that way.
 
Risty aw thanks girl, you're right, but if I have one bad day it tends to continue from there. So I was back on track today. I'm so busy with school at the moment that I don't have much time to post but I just want to say I hope everyone is doing well. I got a tiny bit of exercise in, and unfortunately I didn't exercise this morning so I have to do it now and I REALLY don't want to. Oh and it is chinese noodles with veggies and instead of the meat I had egg. Peas are really nice by the way, I appreciate them now that I actually try them.

We're rooting for you!!!

Hey Lukewarm; just heading off to bed but wanted to let you know I'm with you in spirit and wishing you well with all the studies. Don't worry about eating everything in sight because your cals have been low anyways, due to the pureed diet. Just find time in the day, even just 15 minutes to take care of yourself. You'll get back to your diary when the storm has passed.
 
I agree. Don't dwell on the "bad days". You've been doing soooo well, that I can hardly belive it. I wish I was as dedicated as you. I cheat all the time, even though I know I shouldn't.

Keep your chin up! You can do this, and we're all here to support you!
 
2Skinny & Xorie thanks ladies ;) I have been feeling decidely unskinny, which transforms my mind in ways that are difficult to overcome. My personal addiction is self-pity/loathing. I had a big breakfast/lunch, so I'm going to take that 15 minutes and at least go for a little walk. I'm checking in on everyone tomorrow, thanks guys.

I've heard it's better to eat a big breakfast rather than a big supper! But yeah, don't focus on the negative things you've done but on the positive good changes you have done. On the whole you've done awesome and a couple slip ups along the way won't affect the overall result!
 
Risty Thank you! I have been trying to tell myself that for the past couple days and right now at this moment I feel rejuvenated. I just went grocery shopping, completed my last chem lab for the semester, received freakin great feedback on my thesis paper for my prof and I am simply happy, in fact I'm going out dancing this evening :p I got canned heat in my heels tonight baby! You should see the beauty that is my refrigerator. I realized that I could have been eating fish all along! I bought tuna, salmon, mahi, chicken, crab meat, tofu, veggies, fruit, ohhh I am ecstatic. It's so funny what a turnaround you can make in only a few hours. I'm going to walk a bit before I go out so that I have something concrete to enter in my miles log. I'm having a lovely dinner in a few hours; I'm going to grill salmon with a few of my apt. neighbors on our little communal grill and then it's to the club, and I am determined to have fun. I only lost 1 pound last week though, so that's shitty but I'm going to try and do better this week. Frankly I'm just happy I didn't gain.

Risty thanks for saying hello :) I am checking in with you after this post.

May I just say that I feel as though my current failure is something that I feel so guilty about. I'm about to list all of the horrible horrible everything I have shoved in my face for the past 3 days. For anyone who doesn't want to read about someone who lacks any and all self-control I suggest you close my window. I haven't exercised in three days, I even skipped class this morning. Over the course of three days I have eaten everything I listed below. I am this compulsive over-eater, I binge and binge and binge. I'm not even hungry and I don't feel the need to eat so much but I just do it. I can't explain it and I'm humiliated but I guess I need to admit this. Ugh I make myself sick, I don't really expect anyone to say anything, in fact I sort of hope nobody responds to this post. I can't f*cking wait for this semester to be over. in the effort of making excuses, I'll never take 18 credit hours again. It's simply too much. I cannot fit anymore information in my head at this point. I actually don't want to go to New Orleans this weekend either, I've taken the time off of work though so if I don't go I've wasted my money and time. The place I'm staying at has a gym so hopefully I'll regain my motivation. Ugh for anyone who actually reads this, please do not behave as I do and also I hope this sickening illustration of self-pity hasn't made you naseous. I wish I could control myself, I'm worse than a child. I'm not weighing myself until the end of this month, I simply can't bring myself to do it.

And I'd just like to add that as I'm standing in my kitchen getting all this food ready to eat, I could simply cry. It's like I know I'm going to do it, instead of exercising, and I DON'T WANT IT but I'm going to do it and make it impossible for myself. I feel like I'm watching myself fail, and all I can surmise is that there must be a part of me that enjoys it. Embarrassment doesn't begin to describe this but I have to be honest about these past couple of days. I wish I was strong enough to prevent the abnormal urge to gorge myself.

Hi Lukewarm! I thought I'd just stop in to say hi, as I haven't been by in a while. It's been a little bit hectic recently, so I barely have time to visit my own diary!

Don't let the bad times get you down on yourself. Don't dwell on it any longer, and just pick yourself up and start again. You can do this, I know you can! I'm rooting for you!
