Satisfaction

Yesterday was quite short.  I am not so sure why it so short but it was awfully short.  Anyways, I think I did well because I got in enough servings of fruits, beans, and proteins for the day.  I ate lunch later in the afternoon because I ate half a watermelon this morning, which amounted to five servings.  I am satisfied with what I have eaten and I am under the 2000 calorie limit.

I am proud of myself today.

I ate a rather large lunch today.  How I am going to eat the rest of the day, I don't know.  Yesterday was a good day because I ate half of my calories during half of the day.  I do feel like I am not eating more or less than I should have been.  I do worry too much about my food intake.  I feel like I allow food to dictate and dominate.  I have been stressed out about it lately and it has caused me to gain weight instead of lose weight.  The best thing I can do to lose weight is to take my time and be mindful.

I do believe that eating a whole can of soup.  Yes, it was progresso light, but I have to learn to eat in moderation.  It was a good day.

Giving up would be the worst thing to do.  I am happy to say that I have yet to give up.  I have not waved the white flag of surrender.  I drank plenty of water and ate plenty of vegetables today.  I am proud of myself today.  I went over the calorie limit, but I am comfortable with that somehow.

Unhealthy habits

I need to eat healthier foods for all of my meals and limit the junk and processed foods.  I sometimes eat as if I have no will power.  Lately, I have not been losing weight in a healthy fashion.  That is a painful look at how I have treating myself lately.  I feel like giving up.  It is great that I am under the calorie limit, yet it is not great that I don't practice mindful, healthy eating.  Having Tostitos for breakfast and a sandwich and more chips for lunch is not a healthy way to eat.  I should have had some fruit or some cereal for breakfast and then a sandwich and a smaller portion of chips or vegetables.  That would be good.  Maybe I should no longer eat cereal or binge on snacks most of the day either.  I am only hurting myself.

Surrender 2

I overate just an hour ago.  I just feel like I want to give up.  I cannot take this anymore.  I ate a peanut butter-jelly sandwich, chips with cheese, and craisins.  Why did I do it?  What was I thinking?
