Entry for 11/8/14

Here is what I consumed today

Yogurt and more yogurt
Fruits: apple, banana, grapes
Biscuits
Peas and Rice
Raisins
Peanuts
Baked chicken

Maybe I should list what I eat more often.  Then maybe I would get an idea about not only what I ate, but also how I ate.  It has been said that those who write in a journal tend to lose more weight and keep it off.

Today's "menu"

Here is what I consumed today

Yogurt and more yogurt
Fruits: apple, bananas, strawberries, and grapes
French fries
Turkey and cheese sandwich
Raisin Bran cereal with reduced fat milk

I wish I could eat the kind of food that is like other people on a healthy diet.  How do I get over the struggle that comes with eating the way that I do?  I would like to do that.

Struggle and how to deal with it

I have struggled with food my entire life.  Today I am writing to tell the reader how I really feel.  I have been having low self-esteem for years now and maybe that has been the root cause of my eating lately.  However, that issue has nothing to do with my overeating this past week.  It is all about taking my health for granted.  I consumed healthy as well as unhealthy food.  It will take a while to list what I have eaten today.  I admit that bacon is not a health food and nor are sugary drinks good for me as well.  That is some of what I have consumed today.  There are times when I feel there is no hope in sight.  I am having a hard time listening and I wonder if I should entertain other avenues to lose weight.  I wonder if that will help me cover my issues with food and weight loss in general.  I could say only time will tell but there are times when I feel I don't have much time.  This is one of those times.

Musing for 11/4/14

Let me see...

I started off well, but I suddenly ended up eating anything my hand could find such as cookies, ice cream, and donuts.  I ended up just feeling discouraged about it.  What really happened?  Why did I make such bad choices?  It is hard to believe, but it was so sudden.  I just hope that I won't overeat like this tomorrow.

No change..but I will change just for me.

I will change, but for me only.  My health is and my overall quality of life are too important for me.  I finally have that as a goal.  I will apply it to myself.  I have made no changes since Friday and I have been eating unhealthy foods.  I recall that even though I love foods, they don't always love me.  I do know that there are foods that do love me and it is time for me to get my physical and emotional house in order.

Unhealthy weekend

I don't know what is going on with me.  I have been feeling anxious lately so that may have something to do with it.  I consumed a lot of unhealthy foods for the past 3 days.  I don't feel guilty about it, but maybe I should do a better job of tracking my food intake.

No change

I did the same thing I did yesterday.  I ate a lot of unhealthy foods and drank soda.  I need help since I have been overwhelmed lately.  I hope to eat better, meaning consuming foods in moderation tomorrow.  I will write about what I ate like I do almost daily.
