My "eating healthy" diary finally...

Hey there girl, just wanted to get in my two cents :). IMHO, slipping in something unhealthy once in a while is good for your sanity and your diet. Maybe on days when you feel like going wrong, or you've gone and had a few drinks, you can plan to eat something "bad" but plan ahead that you'll allow yourself the treat but you have to minimize the damage (such as getting veggies rather than sausage on the pizza and limiting it to 2 slices, or ordering one of the very few healthy things on a Chinese menu, such as steamed chicken, but then throw in one unhealthy fatty thing like an egg roll (which doesn't end up being so bad as a whole order of the greasy stuff they make). Its hard to go from eating junk lots to going completely healthy all at once.
 
Hi Blancita, thanks for reply and welcome to my diary:)
Honestly is ok for me during the week, but at a weekends, thats the worst time, expecially if i would stay in and decide to do nothing just relax, so first thought pop into my mind would be food, something tasty, thats when i slip in:(, but now i decided that i just have to keep my self busy all the time for the first time on my diet, so i wont think of food constantly:)
I was very good this weekend, although i had few glasses of wine, but still didn't go over my daily calorie intake. Eeehaaa!!!
I have lost 3 pounds since my start, which is something, when i thought i would have put on:)
i'm siting one of my exams this saturday, so i was busy studying and getting ready for that.
all the best

Hey Marina, I'm also absolutely the worst on the weekends or when I'm working from home. I'm always hungry and thinking of food when at home! Yesterday I had a bit of a mini binge--eeeeeeeeeeek! I'm so upset but I plan on heading to the gym and eating really well today to try to minimize the damage. I'm always starting fresh after coming off a bad weekend and this is totally my downfall to losing those last pesky pounds LOL. Onward!
 
HI,
Weekends are hard. When I feel the urge to binge I go and do some form of exercise. Interestingly my hunger is always gone after a good exercise session,.
Keeping busy sounds like a good plan!!
congrats on losing the 3 lbs!!!
Have a great day
