confession...

FearAnLoathing

my confession,will probobly make some people mad.....im not doing this as much for the health as I am to look good in my clothes again.Im vain I can admit,the health is just an added bounus

It shouldn't make anyone angry lol....most people DO care about how they look and if they didn't wouldn't have near the amount of motivation they needed to change.

well the good part is I like the way I eat now.i dont really miss soda or fast food so i dont have to worry about slipping back into my old eating habits

I ate 2 red velvet cupcakes last Tuesday night... No excuses but allowed myself to do it by justifying it saying it'd been a long & crappy night and maybe I was just PMSing. Had a hard time finishing the last one but did it anyways. So went over calories that day didn't even attempt to work out that night to make up for any of the extra calories that day. Instead I just left myself feeling like crud and no better off than if I hadn't eaten those darn cupcakes.

Blah!

I drank about 1/2 cup of vanilla shake last Thursday, and didnt log it in my food diary.
So ashamed of myself.

I ate my first slice of pizza for the first time this year last night . It was a thin slice of cheese and it was amazing. I forgot how good pizza tasted. I went to the local pizzaria, ordered 1 slice to go and took it home. I used to put down a 16" no problem. I have no regrets about last night and I feel great! I was still under my calorie goal for the day which was a good thing.

I don't think I could ever eat just one slice of pizza : D

I found a way to do it. We are a busy family with 4 kids and sometimes the Little Caesar's Hot & Ready are the only quick way to get my family fed for the night. But to keep myself from overindulging on the pizza I ate fruits and veggies that I had around the house first. Then by the time I ate the pizza, I only ate 1 slice and was more than full for the night. I try to do this anytime pizza or other similar options happen here in my house.

I ate an immense amount of Mexican restaurant food the last three Friday's in a row. Last Friday, I ate so much I thought I was going to burst. The only thing that has kept me from ballooning up is the killer workouts i put in on Saturday mornings.

This weekend, I was mostly good though, and skipped the Mexican food. Still had a little too much home cooked pasta though.

Friday's are hard for me, because it's my rest night from the gym, and all that free time makes me want to eat!

I am procrastinating!

(i should be reading the general persecutions in Eusebius of caeserea's church history books 8 and 9....I have an essay due monday...eek)

This is kind of random, but I want to throw it out there because it helped me in my studies. When writing a really long paper over many days, always stop in the middle of a paragraph or thought when finishing for the day. That way when you are ready to pick up where you left off you will be ready to go and must less likely to procrastinate. I learned that from Hemingway.

Good for you. My sad food is always some sort of chips.

Same. Like I know I should care about my health, but I have a hard time sometimes. I do eat vegetables and everything, but it is more about being thin.

I have a slight, very slight, counting OCD in my normal life. Kind of like Rainman, I can tell you pretty much how many steps it is from anywhere in my house to my car in the driveway. I can tell you how many steps from my car to my desk at work, or my locker or...you get the idea. Fortunately it's not the "crazy" kind of OCD it only enters the head when I am alone and walking. On the odd side though...I count in 4's like a 4 count body building exercise1,2,3,1...1,2,3,2 etc and some how my noggin keeps tabs and adds it all up and the number just come...quickly 52x4 is what?...that's right 208. But whenever I get to 400 it starts back at 1...it's confusing to me too.

However, my natural tendency (or un-natural depending on your point of view) to count also makes it a bit of an obsession to input every stinking calorie. I have tried to NOT log. The other night I had to leave a restaurant to go to my car to get my Android before I could order...Ya, thank God my wife has known about my "idiosyncrasies" since we were 15.

And since were here...I don't mix foods on my plate and actually need a separate plate for anything that was boiled and might make other stuff runny. I think it comes from corn or peas in water on a plate next to hot dog bun making the bun soggy, dunno but now I just get a small bowl for those things. On night when I have several veggies in a meal it's usually the main plate, a bowl for carrots, a bowl for spinach, a bowl for applesauce.... However, I intentionally mix mashed potatoes and corn if served together...go figure.

By the way it's 517 steps from my car to my desk in case you're lost and need to find my desk.on normal dry ground. It can be a bit longer in snow or blustery days.

I drank my calories tonight... and it felt good

Well tomarrow Im making my husband fave meal cornish game hens with stuffing inside, garlic red potatoes, steamed sweet corn and biscuts. Also for dessert we are having his bday cake hahaha so i may gain a pound or 2. Valentines Day he will be working so who knows what I will eat then lol

sparklesammy

I'm not weighing in tomorrow.

I'm going out for dinner tonight for a valentines meal tonight and i don't know where i'm going...I do know it will enevitably involve dessert.

So i'm not wieghing in becasue I can't stand to see the scale go up again (its been zig zagging since the start of this year.

I'll weigh in next monday morning, after an early dinner the night before and a hardcore gym session...

liveskinny

i confess that eerytime i maintain my weight for more than three days without a loss (i know that's absolutely ridiculous), i get really upset & binge for 1-3 days gaining anywhere from 2-4lbs...then i starve (under 600 cals a day) for about a week & i usually end up about 2-3lbs lower than the weight i was upset about maintaining. i know it's ridiculus & unhealthy, but it's how i've lost the last 40lbs & now i'm afraid i'm not going to be able to stop ):

sparklesammy

I'm not trying hard enough

ouryear002

I confess that when I have a good weigh-in I am more likely to overeat that day. Self-sabotage much?!?!:grumble:

And Mobius- I count to 8 when I walk or do anything with beat. No idea why.

scagneti

I confess that while out shopping yesterday afternoon, hubby and I each had an A&W Papa Burger (they were 2 for $6) with mayo and while I was going to only eat half of the bun, I ate the whole thing, It was between lunch and dinner, so technically it was a snack, but I couldn't bring myself to list a 600 calorie "snack" so I called it dinner, even though dinner was 4 hours later.

It was so good though!

Right here right here! I do the same thing. I hate when foods touch other foods. It bothers me when people serve food for you, and just lump everything practically on top of each other. And then I can't eat the parts of the food that touch together.
But mashed potatoes and corn- they're always mixed together, haha.

hiding in the computer lab at uni because I don't really want to talk to real people today. lol!

I'll be back to confess tonight when I can no longer cope with just looking at that Cadbury's Creme egg sitting on the side. The bast4rd keeps winking at me and begging me to lick it's yummy sweet gunk out of the middle. But I tell him to get knotted cos he's just trying to trick me. And then I'll feel gutted when I look at the calorie content.

This has been going on all bloody week.

I say I'm doing this for me, but there will always be this tiny thought at the back of my mind that goes: 'maybe he'll love me when I'm thin...'

those pesky voices....the same voices might make you question "does he only love me because I'm thin now?"

Real love - which is what you deserve (because you are a princess!!) is not attached to conditions or a tick list. xx

The other day I ate about 4-5 pizza hut pizzas at a work meeting. Kinda hated myself that day after that... to make things worst I didn't log it in.. but then I worked out and burned about 500-600 calories

Mrs_McFadden

Ok here goes.
I am on vacation and I haven't logged my food one single time. There isn't a scale where I am..there are no nutritional facts/info as far as I could discern. So as far as I can tell I'm just flying by the seat of my pants. Who knows!
Oh and tonight I'm going to have a beer ..or two.
I have much much more to confess but these are my food related transgressions

BryanAir

I ate more cheese in the last two days than I have in the last two months combined. Although most of it was in cottage form, so no damage done.

khrys1

I have to confess that I'm kind of glad that I have my first cold of the year, which makes me have a craving for NOTHING- passed up almost all of the goodies at my husband's birthday party on Friday, and today at lunch after church, just had steamed veggies and applesauce, rather than the fried chicken and fries I'd normally have. Hope I feel better soon, but am NOT missing the "naughty" food!

I have to confess I under eat, even though I've reached my goal. Now I can't eat enough, and i work out a load, and I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. Trust me.. It's just as scary as the side everyone always thinks about.
