Not proud

Dear Heavenly Father,

It isn't very often that I pray about the foods that I ate.  I got greedy and ate too much unhealthy foods and not enough of the healthy foods.  I ask for Your forgiveness for my lack of faith.  I ask that You would increase my faith so that I will receive guidance when it comes to my health.  I believe that nourishing the mind, body, and spirit are important and unfortunately, I have not done a good job in neither lately.  Help me.  Help me with my lack of faith.  Strengthen my faith and I trust You in all things.  Remind me that I have health issues and whatever I eat or drink may or will have a positive or negative influence on my health.  I know that life is too short but my health at times I feel is getting worse.  It is partially because of my poor diet.  How do I change my eating habits?  I need guidance and my need help.  I also thank You in advance for answering my prayer.


In Jesus' name,


Amen

What I actually ate 10/8/14

Here is what I consumed

Breakfast
Cereal

Lunch
Cereal

Dinner
Sloppy Joe wraps

Snack 1
Cereal

I would like to say that it is a little more than 1800 calories because I have consumed a ton of cereal today.  I ate healthier than I have before.  However, I need to follow the proposed plans that I have made.  Therefore, I would be able to consume healthier foods.  Sure the cereal is healthy.  However, cereal is a processed food and processed foods are foods that I should cut back on or at least try to avoid.

A reminder to eat healthier

Eating candy and pizza and no fruits or vegetables are not a good diet at all.  I need to remind myself better.  I have drawn a banana but apparently I need to at least look at the banana every time I plan on eating something.  I have healthy foods in the refrigerator so why do I waste food?  That is the question I need to answer for myself.

Dietary changes at 40

Despite the fact that I admit to eating pizza and other unhealthy foods, I consumed some fruit today. I feel great at 40, but I realize that I have to eat even better.  It is hard to cut out the processed foods because it seems like most foods are processed.  My question is is there a link between age, PCOS, and other factors?  I am just concerned about my health and I do have a tendency to procrastinate.  I would like to change that, too.  I have been told that I need to adjust my diet because it will be harder to lose weight at my age now than I did in my teens, 20s, and 30s.

I wish I ate better than I did

I consumed more calories today than I meant to.  Now I am concerned about gaining weight.  I wanted to lose 1-2 lbs a week.  I have a feeling that I will gain 1-2 lbs or more tomorrow.  I tend to weigh myself between 6:30 and 9 AM.  I have not exercised much either.  Now is the time.

What I have learned today 10/4/14

I have realized that fruits and vegetables are what I needed.  I have been complaining that I don't consume enough fruits and vegetables and too many starches and sweets.  Well, I consumed yogurt with fruits today as well as desserts.  Lately the desserts have made me ill.  I have been nauseated due to the cake I ate.  Maybe I ate too much of it.  Anyways, I am doing better as of right now as I am typing this.  Apple juice and yogurt with raspberries seem to be a great dinner.  It is nutritious and taste good.  I realize that is what I wanted and needed.  It is so sad that I waste food especially fruits and vegetables.  What is the use if I throw them out and I purchase them for a reason?

Musing for 10/2/14

I am doing well.  I have consumed less than 1900 calories today.  However, I consumed most of my calories after 8pm, including crackers and ice cream.  I believe that I can and will be consuming more fruits and vegetables.  I have a reminder to consume those since I need to eat more fruits and vegetables in my diet.  However, I don't feel guilty about what I consumed.  However, I made the mistake of buying and consuming food that would trigger a much larger appetite than I mean to.
