confession...

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

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!

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

confession..

i literally JUST ate half of a sausage pizza before reading this.

last night i drank for the first time this year.. only 4 beers but it was like 440 calories!

going out again tonight.. but come tomorrow it's back on track!

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.

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

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 ):

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.

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.

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...'

Emxx

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

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.
