Elaine: Thank you so much! I personally didn't think I would be an inspiration to anyone... that makes me feel pretty good... also, I really wish you the best of luck!
Here's my stats for Monday:
Total Calories: 2643
Chol(mg)---Sod(mg)---Fat(g)----Carbs(g)---Fiber(g)---Prot(g)
190--------3818------68.61-----417.21-----40.1------100.81
Alright, some thoughts on the stats... way too much sodium, and I only had 38oz of water instead of 64oz's, fat is a little higher than I would like to see it, but not too outrageous like some days I've had, carbs are of course way too high as well... fiber looks awesome, and protein is pretty decent too... though my calories are about 263 calories more than I should have had... so basically, if I had not eaten 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream with marshmallow topping and almonds at work, I would have been better today in calories and other stats, and possibly if I hadn't eaten 2 cheese burger sliders (mini cheese burgers) and a half a serving of a kid side of fries at work for Lunch, I probably would have been a lot better too, but I didn't have time to eat before work... though a better option could have been a salad or something with less fat and way less sodium, but it is hard to eat at a restaurant... and avoid the sodium... sodium is evil...

Work was rough tonight, but what really pissed me off was people not knowing what they are talking about and trying to make me look like the idiot... ugh! So one of our managers is trying to lose weight and everyone at work was trying to give him advice about it, I heard someone say "don't eat carbs, they are bad for you", so I said "some carbs are good for you, it just depends on which kinds you eat, like whole wheat", what I should have said was "some carbs are good for you like whole wheat, fruits, and veggies, verses white bread and cupcakes"... anyway, she said "your wrong", and I wanted to punch her in the face!! Last thought... YOUR BODY NEEDS CARBS!!!!!!!!!! ....*sighs*....

Thank you so much Jess!! 
The last three days have been so self-destructive, and I've been so depressed lately too... not to mention my body feels like shit...
Since the whole point of this journal to me is to help keep me accountable, here's what I remember eating in the past few days:
Tuesday: Chinese food: lo-mien/general tso's dinner, five honey chicken wings, some soda, 2 vitamin waters.
Wednesday: 2 slices dark German wheat bread with sprouts, ham, turkey, munster cheese and 1 serving honey mustard vinaigrette spray, 100 cal pack sun chips, and a serving of V-fusion and 8 slices of pizza for dinner (they cut them in uneven sized squares)...
Thursday (aka binge day): Healthy choice shrimp & chicken Cajun rice thing with cherry mixed fruit cup and serving of V-fusion, 100 calorie pack smart food popcorn, serving soft serve chocolate with 1/2 oz almonds and 1oz marshmallow sauce, 1 orange gummy, 1 pb cup, 1 mini cheese burger with 1/2 slice cheese, 1 tsp mayo and 1 tsp ketchup, 1 chicken finger with 1/2 oz of honey mustard dressing, french fries and cheese sauce, oreo sundae shake from bk, small fry from bk, and a whopper jr with cheese from bk (all bk stuff, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
)
Sooo, today's suppose to be a new day but I'm not hungry... at all.
I suppose so long as I eat at least 1200 calories I'll be ok, but I don't even know if I can eat that amount... though my body does require more than that just to do it's daily things if I just lied around all day....
I'm feeling so nauseous... my body is in hate me mode.
Because of all the sodium... my weigh-in hasn't changed. Except on Monday I was at 273... which I didn't update on my ticker because it's just 1lb, and it doesn't even matter... but, my weight didn't change at all when I was sticking to my diet last week.... I'm probably not eating enough... or eating too much, but I think it's not eating enough since my calories should be at like 2350 to lose 1.5lbs a week.... and I'm eating around 1500-1800 and not losing anything?????
Ugh!!!
