I was considering not starting a diary today, seeing as I didn't eat so healthy but then I told myself: if you're going to commit, you might as well commit.
My story begins in the mountains of Eastern France in a valley of croissants, french baguette and cheese, lots of cheese. I lived there for six months when I was 16-17 and gained about 25 pounds.
Three years later, I am still carrying around the bulk of that weight. Losing it has been on my mind and on and off a priority for the past three years. I have lost some, but I don't feel as healthy and definitely not as toned or fit as I did before I left. I am an athletic person, but I feel like I've become increasingly lazier. I am also a very stressed person but I feel anxious without stress and I like to be busy.
Right now, I live in Thailand on a year off but next September, 09' I will be going to back to college. I have two main goals one is to start next year at college in a body I feel not only comfortable in but proud of. The other is to manage my body, I can feel when I am full but I still overeat. I want to learn how to tell myself to stop and learn how to eat what makes me feel better and only as much as I need. I want this to become second nature eventually because I am tired of having to devise strategies and worry about food all the time.
My main weakness is I binge. I'll be good for a week and then I will let myself go for a weekend, I find it very hard to stay on track. In an effort to keep myself on the right way this time, I'm going to try and record my food intake and exercise here daily. At least post an update weekly. I welcome any and all feedback, as harsh as it may be and I am gracious for your support.
March 16th, 2009 (just to note: this is during a 'being bad' period for the weekend, basically diet failure point)
Breakfast:
- Thai omlette w/ veggies on rice: the Thai part basically means it is fried... I ate about half of the serving, it was a big serving.
- Indian Chai: complete w/ sugar and milk
Lunch:
- Coffee Shake: coffee, ice, little milk, little sugar
- Sweet rice gelatin thing, small little rectangle shape...
Snack:
- two prunes
Exercise: Combined jogging and incline walking on treadmill, 42 minutes, 400 calories
Dinner:
- 1 and 1/3 fresh corn with salt, pepper and chili sauce
- Glutinous rice encasing spinach and garlic: like a small rice savory pancake
- Sweet rice gelatin thing, small round shape
- Small Rice gelatin w/ taro in middle (chinese pastry like thing)
- 1/2 cup of kambucha
As you can well see, I have a severe weakness for sweet rice things and Thailand isn't helping, but maybe you can help kick my cravings. Sorry this post rambles...
