  • I wonder if he may be going through a bit of depression? That can sap your will to do most anything, especially things you know you "should do" and can make you pessimistic about trusting other people (like doctors). If this is the case, a "Come to Jesus" talk will make him more depressed and angry. But counseling could…
  • I wasn't as consistent over the weekend as I often am. It surprises me because I thought I was really good at logging food, but this challenge made me realize maybe not-so-much. The good news is I do feel like I'm better at evaluating portions/what's healthy/what's not. The past week-10 days I haven't gained any weight…
  • Last 5 days: Hmm, maybe 60%. I'm sick. Being sick makes it harder to have willpower, less willpower means eating restaurant food, grazing in the kitchen. :P
  • Ugh. Went out for sushi. There's a difference between healthy food and low cal food. Sushi can be the former. But it was not the latter. (From what I can tell. MFP had information on sushi rolls with the same name as what I ordered, but each restaurant makes their rolls a different way, so who knows.) 75% accurate today.
  • Today: 100%! And I'm even more excited that the local restaurant my gym buddies and I go to after working out is now on MFP. I was guessing how many calories were in the chicken sandwich I get, and I learned today I'd been overestimating by more than 100 calories! (If you haven't tried looking for restaurants in the mobile…
  • I'm in. I've been good about logging everyday and almost every thing. But it gets harder when there's bites and nibbles here and there. I just got a food scale, and now the biggest challenge is remembering to weigh my food before I eat it! Yesterday: 80% Breakfast and Lunch were dead on, dinner I lost it. Ate a sample of a…
  • I like my coffee hot, creamy and delicious. ;) And apparently only on weekends. :| But that's been my trick. I didn't think I could ever stray from my French Pressed coffee with 4 tablespoons of Natural Bliss creamer. But FOUR TBSP!! I had to do something different. So I have Earl Grey with a tsp of liquid raw sugar on…
  • I discovered thrifting just before I started MFP, and it's a great way to reward yourself with clothes without breaking the bank. I just go to Goodwill, not high-end consignment stores. You have to be patient, and you basically scoop up a bunch of clothes that might fit you and try them all on. But you can find so many…
