Journal entry for 9/19/16

I am not going to express how bad a day today is.  However, I have been concerned about one thing. The concern is my eating habits.  I am learning to drink more water even though my eating habits are in need of a little work.  Okay, a lot of work.  I can and will end up eating healthy and in smaller portions.  If I put my mind to it, I can accomplish anything.  My goal is not perfection but progress. It has been recommended that 1200-1500 calories a day plus enough vigorous exercise would be helpful in losing weight.  I feel like every area of my life is a struggle.  However, life is not fair and we all struggle at something.

Journal entry for 9/17/16

I am doing fine, yet a tad bit sleepy.  I consumed over 300 calories more than I intended to.  However, I don't feel that I am way off the track.

Here is my journal entry for today:

Later.

I will come back later.

My reflection for 9/14/16

I have spent a lot of the time binge eating lately.  In fact last night, I spent a lot of the evening binge eating.  I really needed to overcome this if I wish to lose weight.  It also helps that adding what I binged on wouldn't be such a pain.  I want to make myself look good.  I want to learn and to add all of the food and drinks I consumed.  My eating habits have changed somewhat.  I have to answer the questions that I need to answer particularly about binge eating and why I desire to lose weight.  Those are not the only two questions that I have however.  The biggest gift is honesty.  I have been in denial for years and I want to lose the weight and keep it off for myself.  My eating habits have improved from what they have been yesterday.

Food journal entry for 9/13/16

I realize that eating more due to exercise can cause me to eat more and not eat well.  I have decided to stay within the 1200 calorie limit.  I have to see that I cannot consume but small portions of food while drinking large quantities of water.  That is a lesson that I have learned today.  I have also learned that planning meals ahead of time also helps in losing weight.  Here is the plan I created last night for today: Source..

Journal entry for 9/12/16

Today, I have learned that drinking water, as well as exercise, doesn't erase a day of eating a poor diet.  The worse the diet, the less water I drink.  Those are things that I have noticed.  I also notice that there are certain foods that no matter how good they are for the taste buds are more than likely bad for my health, even in smaller portions.  I have also learned about formulating a plan which will increase the likelihood of my losing more weight.  Here is today's journal entry: Source

Food Journal entry 9/10/16

It has been a while since I have made an entry in this forum.  I have gone to one forum after the next and it can be quite frustrating.  However, I realize that it is up to me to stay in that frustration.  My goal is to consume 1200 calories a day.  So far, it is working.  My goal is to lose between 6-16 pounds within six weeks, which would come unto an average of 10-11 pounds a week.  My hope is that I will continue reaching those goals.

Here is the link below to my meal plan for today.
