Was significantly under my calorie goal today, but mostly because I spent a good portion of the morning and early afternoon sitting in my bedroom trying to write a couple of essays, and got so busy that I forgot to eat for a while

I skipped breakfast opted only for coffee, bad idea , only had yogurt with granola for lunch , chicken sandwich for dinner and will have some strawberries later . but I have barely used half my calories . I have just found out in the 14th of March that I am fully diabetic now. Find a balance for breakfast is hard . trying to limit the carbs I eat . my gobto was a price of taost with strawberry preserves . don't get up in time to do eggs and can't do them everyday .. Low carb, sucks for me .0

I'm liking this low carb diet. Lots of energy and no hunger and I can now easily see where I went wrong the last time. Lots of low carb veggies out there. I use only certain vegetables and I weigh the amount until I get good at eyeballing it. On track today and I get 560 calories still.0

Rest day, so I made sure I was well under calorie budget!0

We had a roast dinner, which is one of my favourites, but what was on my plate was very different from what I'd usually have.
I'd usually pile it really high with roast potatoes, meat, mashed potatoes, yorkshire puddings, lots of veg, gravy made with some of the juice from the meat, sometimes extras like pigs in blankets, and then eat it all until I was completely stuffed, to the point where I was uncomfortable and had to undo my trousers.
Last night, I only had 100g of roast potatoes, some meat, 4 different kinds of vegetables in sensible portions, gravy made without juice from the meat, and it didn't fill the plate. Hell, it was probably a third of the size of the portion I would normally have.
I ate it all, I was full, and I really enjoyed it! I can feel some of my habits starting to change. I still waiver every now and then, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of this!
Beyond awesome. Personally I think those sort of changes has felt like my biggest victories0 -
On plan today despite some serious carb cravings.0
-
Hoping today is better . ate a better breakfast so we will see!0
-
Stuck to plan yesterday, and so far so good today.0
-
I did good yesterday (Monday) until dinner when I blew it (5k calories at dinner). I simply delayed dinner too long (2 hours later than planned) due to working late & had a ravenous appetite by then for foods I really should not eat. Hopefully, today (Tuesday), I'll stick to my meal plans & meal times.0
-
Yesterday was a bad food day for me, not happy at all with some choices I made. Today I'm back on track and looking forward to a great week.0
-
On plan and planning to stay that way!

not happy with yesterday's food intake... today is going much better0
-
I have felt a bit munchy today probably because I had to get up earlier but I stayed with my goals.0
-
Under calories and carbs today 0
-
Not great choices today (again), but still quite a way under my calorie goal (unintentionally).
I really notice the difference on the days I forget to have breakfast. I feel 'snackier', and find myself thinking about food more.
I must get up a little earlier tomorrow morning and make sure I have something before work!0 -
Its not been the best day
For whatever reason I've been "head hungry"...I know that I don't NEED to eat--but that evil, self-sabotaging, maddeningly persistent little voice in my head is saying "yes, you really NEED that 2nd bowl of rice krispies...and perhaps 2 apples instead of 1! Sigh. I think it's equal parts boredom & depression...its been an emotionally weird day. Still, if I can keep focused for the rest of the evening I might still come in on/close to my cal. target for today. Hope everyone is hangin' tough!

Your day sounds exactly like mine!!! Hang in there!0 -
Only ate twice today so I am under on calories0
-
It's probably good that I had to work through the holiday I hear the chocy demon was out and hunting.... OOOOOOHHHHHH how I miss the chocolate but not the hangover as 1cand0it2 said....lol.... We will all have some bad days and it will not ruin what we have going for us, it will not stop us!!!!!! Try not to turn one bad choice into the whole day of bad choices but if it happens do not beat yourself up about it because that won't do any good, instead give yourself some credit for jumping right back on the wagon the next day.0
-
^^Second what Lungs said. Falling off the wagon is what often derails my attempts to diet, but it's the picking yourself up & dusting yourself off that will make your target weight goal become a reality someday. Keep on keepin' on!0

On track for day, amazingly - I have an exam in my class tonight, and studying tends to give me the munchies. Today it's raw radishes and carrots rather than Monster Munch and Doritos, at least!0
-
A good day for me, managed to resist the Easter cakes and chocolates reduced in price at Morrisons. Proud of myself 0

I have had a good day,on track 0

I am feeling okay with how I ate today. Could of passed on those two mini brownie bites. Lol yesterday I felt I didn't eat well though I stayed under calorie. It's frustrating cuz I can do so well then I sabotage myself and eat chips or cookies. One day at a time I guess. Least I'm eating a lot lessjunk and more healthy then I used to. I'm only three weeks into this journey so I'm not too hard on myself! Keep up the good work guys!0
