I wasn't strong yesterday. 😓 I was stressed out while the election results were coming in and had a peanut butter and agave nectar sandwich. I don't normally emotionally eat. I don't know why I felt the need to do it last night. And then when the results were pretty much in I had a glass of depression red wine.

Anyway. Yesterday = FAIL

So far today I've had a cup of oatmeal, two tablespoons of flaxseed, a banana, a cup of soy milk, a cheese stick, a granola bar, a mandarin orange, and a plain bean burrito. Have to calculate the calories, but that granola bar was like 200! Whew! A least it was good.

I see a dietitian this morning. Ughhhh. I’m not going to give up my meal subscription. I basically need breakfast ideas from him and ideas of what I can eat on the weekends because I don’t get my meal subscription on the weekends.

I hope he helps, @Crazy Hitch. I was actually thinking about getting a dietitian. You should let us know how it goes.

Do you watch ChelseaMae on facebook? She is in new zealand. She recently said our real need is to have things SIMPLE and that will help with our consistency. It sounds like what you are doing, sticking to a fairly short list of foods. Thats what i am doing. My blood sugar is better (type 2 diabetes), not sure how my weight is, and i am sleeping much better, way less heartburn.

I started walking on my treadmill again. Then I charged up my VR headset last night and resubscribed to the fitness game Supernatural. I need to fix myself. I also am eating tuna pouches again which have a ton of protein and those little Lunchables. They aren't the greatest health wise but they are satisfying. Eggs, tuna, and Lunchables were a staple of mine in 2022.

Yesterday was a fail again. 😔 Hoping today will be better.

I’ve just eaten eggs on toast for breakfast as per my dietitian recommendation. It was that or peanut butter on toast but eggs have more protein so I went with eggs.

I need to see a dietitian.

Today I've had half a cup of oatmeal, two tablespoons of flaxseed, and two cheese sticks. Tonight will be a salad (yick) of some sort.

I dropped weight this morning when I weighed in and I definitely ate more yesterday compared to what I’m used to. Yeehaaaaa!

@Crazy Hitch

That's awesome! Congrats. Now you're REALLY inspiring me to see a dietitian.

[raspberrytorte]

In fact, I think I'm going to call on Monday and make an appointment with my GP.

[Crazy Hitch]

Go for it @raspberrytorte! ☺️

[raspberrytorte]

I kind of pigged out for breakfast today... but I shouldn't be hungry for a while, so that's good!

@Crazy Hitch

I will! I hate seeing my GP because she knows my diagnosis and treats me like a crazy person. 🤪 But I will if it means I can get referred to a dietitian because obviously I'm doing something wrong.

In good news though, I'm okay with my weight now and think I look fine. I mean, obviously losing weight would be ideal, but I took a long look in the mirror and decided I'm beautiful just the way I am right now. 😊

[Crazy Hitch]

Today will be my cheat day. I’m going to have 1 cheat day a week. For my cheat day I will eat a slice of lemon meringue pie. My absolute favourite!

How is everyone doing on their weight loss journey?

I had apples with peanut butter, cheese, grape tomatoes, a cucumber, and a plain bean burrito today. Kind of pigged out again. I've had the munchies real bad though. Not good!

[Crazy Hitch]

I weighed the same on the scales so there’s that…..

[raspberrytorte]

Better than gaining...

I'm trying intermittent fasting. From 5PM-6AM. I last had a zero sugar soda at 6 and I'm just drinking a sparkling water now. Idk if that counts or not. I know I've had a lot of luck before with intermittent fasting.

[raspberrytorte]

@Mountaindewed

I've actually been thinking about trying that... I have to do some more research into it first though.

I had 1/2 cup of chili for breakfast. For lunch I’m having an egg wrap. Which is 2 scrambled eggs with Italian mixed cheese wrapped up in a flour tortilla kinda like a burrito. Dinner I’m not sure yet. I think I might have plain oatmeal with raisins and a piece of wheat toast with butter.

I’m really trying to rein in my binge eating cause it’s become a big problem. So I’m working on that. Eventually I can improve the quality of my food but right now my priority is not binge eating.

And I’ve been exercising. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill today with an incline of 7. Plus I took a 25 minute walk outside this morning. So far I’m at 8,103 steps and it’s only just now going on 11am.
