Hello
i find really good that you are taking care of your health at a young age, now is the time where you can get good healthy habbit going.

I am a bit worried about the fact that you don't includ alot of vegies in your meals. I used to be like that the only way to actually like vegies is to eat them. Try them in different way you can eat them raw with low fat dip or in a salad or steam or baked you can try different spices on them...You should give youself the goal of eating 1 portion of vegies a day and as u get used to it add two. Don't forget your proteines they give you a energy and your body needs those feed your muscles, you can get your proteines from nuts and legumes as well as meats!!
Keep up the good work you can do it!!!!

hey Verobc !! :D
ya im glad too that im finaly taking that step to a heallthier lifestyle...was so unhappy before.. it led to bulimia/ednos :( .. and i had to break that cycle... and i did.. a few months on im dieting healthy and appreciating the effort involved.. also not craving foods as much :)

as regards to veggies... ewww, i hate them...never ate them b4 my diet..cant bring myself to eat them now! blah!:ack2:
the only veg i like is PEAS.. and there not much i can eat them with ! .. not that im complaining :p . . .

protien... damn i know im not eating enough protien.. chicken is high in protein tho (isn it ? ) i know eggs are full of protien too ! i really cant think of any more foods with high protien that i like (im not great on protien knowledge :S )

if your interested.. ive always been a picky eater.. deserts, veg, most fancy choco (plain is da best), white sauces, cheese when it isn melted, only eat one brand of ham, jelly and ice cream, cream, red meats (most of em), etc.. ill think of more soon... but as you can see my diet has never been very varies...
 
I know all about hating vegies. At 14 I became a vegan and I only ate carrot and celry where the only vegies I hate ujless you count fries, I gained a lot of weight during those years. You have to eat a bit here and there and the taste grown on you, that is how I do it.

Meats do contain proteines but so do nuts, soy, legumes. Try to includ proteins in each of your meals it will keep you satified.

Do you drink any water?

Hey!!
keep up the good work! You posted a few days ago how little the food you packed in looked like but it was the same amount you usually aate..here's a tip: Buy a smaller container. It'll look fuller and you'll be even more satisfied, rather than looking at a half empty plate :)

Hello :seeya: I find your journal hard to read at times because of the short forms you use - must be an age thing. I sometimes have to read a line over twice before I pick up what you are trying to say. You must txt message a lot and that is why you like short forms?
I can't believe you got upset one day for going over your planned calories by 236! That's nothing! It takes 3500 calories to gain a pound so I think you are good! Also if you did some physical activity for 25 minutes you would have burned that off. You have to keep in mind it's a lifestyle you are creating for yourself and there will be days you go over your calories and days that are under but if you stay consistent it will all even out - don't stress too much about it because I find it's too hard to keep it up for life that way. Good work so far though - keep it up.
 
Wow... Cant believe its been nearly a year since i wrote on this... Basically my weight went to 140lb (10st) and nw its up around the 147lb mark..
I have NOT been healthy..
I need to get back into proper dieting because my bulimia is coming back after a year of freedom..ive been getting overstressed with exams and dealing with some personal issues and now all i can think about is controling something in my life.. But i wanna do it the proper way. I dont want to keep giving in to my ed.
I know that most people wil probably say that dieting with an ED isn advisable but i think (hope) it will distract me from my urges and guilt if i feel healthy.
These forums helped me alot last year when id get tempted or have a temporary relapse so hopefully they'll help again. Seeing people lose weight succesfully, happily and healthly encourages me to do the same.
So i am going to start tommorow. Ill diet healthly and kick bulimia and my weights ass! :D
