Surrender

I give up.  I am basically starting over.  I have eaten pretty much everything in sight.  I cannot take it anymore.  I am surrendering.  I am waving the white flag.

July 16-July 17

I need to catch up.  I overate.  That is okay.  Really?  I feel okay.  All I have to do is pick myself up and dust myself off.

July 17, 2013
I will not allow the stress of yesterday to get me down.

July 15

I hope that i can keep up with the pre-planning of foods like I have been.  It has been of great benefit to me thus far.

Today, I feel like I want to eat.  I have had cravings at night but the best and healthiest thing for me to do is not give in to that craving.  I have eaten later at night which adds extra calories which I do not need.  I have no calories in my budget left which is good.  I have lost a few pounds this week and I hope to lose even more.  I ate all of my snacks this morning.  I should have spaced them out.  However, I spaced out my meals which is a good thing.  I managed to eat pineapples and kale.  The fact that I ate that made me smile.  However, I ate a lot of fried food, or at least more fried food than usual.  To eat healthy, I either need to limit or cut out sweets completely.  There are some things that I have done right and other things that I need to do.  I am learning however.  That is what is most important.

I need to count everything I eat and drink.  Nibbling is something that I do quite often and so is consuming fruit juices at night.  I sometimes overeat only to carry it over to the next day.  That is not good for it is dishonest.  I need to log food in what I eat today and learn from whatever mistakes I make that day.  I am glad that I did not do that today.  I feel pretty good about my diet but I need to lay off of the bread, nutella, and peanut butter.  I also need to log them in next time.

July 12

I consumed more than 1760 calories, which is well over my 1580 calorie limit.  In other words, I was overbudget and have been for the past couple of days.  I am okay with that strangely enough, but I want to eat less than that per day if I wish to lose two pounds per week.  I also need to exercise more.  I made the mistake of eating a large bowl of cereal and an eclair.  Other than that, I did pretty well today.  I ate my share of fruits and vegetables but the ingredients were either fattening or I ate too much food along with the fruit.  I have been struggling to lose weight and today I have learned not only not to go overbudget, but to learn how to eat healthier and in moderation.

Today was pretty good

I am using myfitnesspal and according to that website, I have one calorie left.  I am eating 1580 calories.  I did very well today, though nibbling is a problem of mine.  I know that it could be extra calories.  Also, I realize that calories equal budget and I am well-within my budget.  I needed to change my mindset when it came to losing weight.  I need to affirm myself and not stress out about losing weight.
