Last journal entry for 2015

I don't feel guilty about what I have consumed today.  However, I have no idea how many calories I have consumed.  I had a lunch and that is my only meal.  I tend to eat irregularly during the holidays. Maybe it is time to eat more regularly before and during the holidays.  I have waited until after the holidays to consume foods.  I have made many mistakes along the way.  I already know what the mistakes are, but I have difficulty applying them to my "situation".  The issue is, however, I have made no plans to lose weight.  However, I have planned to make no resolutions.  That would be of help to me so that no pressure will be put on me.  I have broken every resolution to lose weight. Lately, I ended up feeling like a failure.  My attention span is short and I tend to have fears and doubts about losing weight.  I have a mindset that is all or nothing and I tend to not get help from others.  Those are the real issues that I have to face and deal with for I have dealt with and lived out the consequences of those actions.  I don't feel guilty about what I have consumed but learning from the past is something that could help in holding myself accountable.

Oh boy, where do I begin?  For the past three days, that was mostly all I ate.  My diet is poor.  I can admit that much.  I have been completely honest in this blog.  I am now concerned that I will never change my eating habits, no matter how hard I try.  I would like to be one of those people who can and will lose weight and stick to it.  Losing weight is very hard.  It will be worth it due to the fact that there are advantages to losing weight and keeping it off.  In my appointment tomorrow, I will probably get a stern warning about my weight and possibly my lack of blood sugar readings.  I feel like I deservedly so.  Right now I realize that I have gotten too complacent despite the fact that I don't have amputated limbs or are in danger of having my amputated limbs.  How do I change a diet knowing that it is quite poor, especially on the holidays?  I guess that is a question that I have to answer for myself.

If there was ever a time when I have to create a food journal, it is now.  I hope to learn how to consume healthier food and drink.  I admit that I have not.  In fact, I admit to eating poorly, very very poorly.  It will be a rather stupid thing to say, but I don't regret it in the least.  Well, I don't regret it at least for now.  How do I create a healthy food menu to follow during the Holidays, which is very hard to do?  It is a challenge but even with me, it can be done.

Food journal creation

Today I made a plan of what I plan to eat and drink tomorrow.  That is partly what a food journal should reflect.  I need to write that more often.  I have often been feeling down for a long time
and creating a food journal.  That could be helpful in losing weight.  My heart is definitely in it now.

Journal entry from 12/26/15

While I love the taste of cake, cake, and more cake, it doesn't hurt to consume more meats, breads, and vegetables.  I love coffee but I also have other things to drink as well.  I will create a better plan. I promise I will.

Merry Christmas!

If only I ate breakfast.  I found myself nauseated and tired before dinner.  I ate around 1:30-2:00 pm today.  Needless to say, the food was quite food.  I especially love the dressing and even the macaroni and cheese.  It was an acquired taste, but it had a nice smoky flavor.  It was overpowering however. Other than that, dinner was quite good.

Merry Christmas!

Creating a food journal

I have no idea how to write out how else to create a blog that sometimes have entries that often show samples.  It is true I don't know how to write a journal.  It is also true that a traditional journal is even harder.  I have learned, but I already know that my eating habits are poor.  Also, I didn't eat breakfast and lunch consisted of pieces of ham and turkey and also lots of homemade bread.  I have learned about not eating such an "irregular" diet.  I realize now that I should consume three meals, but several smaller snacks per day.  Considering that I am diabetic, this is something I need to do.
