Time For a Change

That's great, Blue Bird!

I have done well so far today, I think. But I am constantly hungry. It's driving me insane!

Thanks! yeah I have times where it bothers me too, usually like an hour before the time I eat I start getting cravings and want to give in and eat early

Me too. I don't get cravings though, just real hunger. I know from past experience that the hunger goes away if you stick with it. It take a couple of weeks, though.

We had pizza today but I didn't binge on it. just had two slices. I've lost 3 pounds

Count me in the group! I need to lose 50 at least. I'd feel a lot healthier with that off. I binge and eat quick and on the run so that definitely ruins anything healthy that I strive for. I work early, (have to be up around 7 and on the way to work by 8;30AM) so I can do some oatmeal with my coffee...with some raisins and cinnamon.

Today i started tracking on the sparkpeople app. And i need to drink more water. I tried today, but i think i need to measure it.

Keep up the good work everyone!

I messed up tonight..... I ended up eating an extra 2 slices of pizza now in the middle of the night PLUS a cup of chocolate milk and a cup of soda

Well, pretty soon it will be a new day. I just have to keep on trying

It happens to the best of us. Sounds like it's not killing your spirit, which is the right thing to feel! Today is a new day!

I'm struggling between wanting to revert back to eating disorder behaviors, and wanting to lose weight the healthy way. I think that's why I've been avoiding this thread...I'm not sure what I'm doing. Eating disorder behaviors never end well for me. I really need some sort of weight loss meal plan "prescribed" by a dietitian. I can't afford to see one right now, though. So I'll have to figure it out on my own.

My eating has been pretty erratic and inconsistent. But I think I'm still eating less.

I try to make sure i have a veg at every meal. Also a protein and a carb. A fat is usually unavoidable. Then i throw in some fruit and skim milk!

Back on track today!

I ate 1,910 calories yesterday. I keep going a little over what I planned. With what I'm doing right now, I'm going to maintain my weight...not lose weight.

It's only a quarter after 10 and I've already had 580 calories. It's all tricky because not only am I counting calories, I'm trying to eat a variety of healthier foods. I guess that's the right way to do it, though.

Got some fruit at the store today. And some yogurt. Healthy snacks

Awesome, Blue!

I'm not sure if I did well today. I had a pumpkin cake roll thingie and I don't know how many calories it had. So I might be in the clear and might not...I didn't eat a ton today, otherwise.

I joined just about three days ago and already have to get back on track. Tomorrow I want to get walking again!

I think i overexercised yesterday. Im feeling a little tired and hungry and depressed today. Not very energetic at all. I even thought about ice cream and cookies! But i stayed true to good food. After i ate a huge apple with PB2, and a salad, my hunger was more under control. Proving to myself that THAT HUNGER can be satisfied with healthful foods. I really wasnt so sure! that wasnt all i ate today, just saying it satisfied me when i was craving. I cant believe ive become a salad eater!! But i have special bowls for my salads that make it easy and fun and that has made a big difference.

I ate too many sweets yesterday. I will do better today!

It's Autumn so any pumpkin flavored treats are excused lol

Anyway I messed up a bit yesterday, today should be better especially since I have group which will keep my mind off food for a few hours

Progress not perfection!

OMG...I have so much pumpkin in the house! Pumpkin bagels, pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin chai tea, pumpkin rolls...

Hey people we are not giving this up! I have a dr weigh in in two and a half weeks, i want to show some poundage down and a decent blood sugar. I have to say, even just raw veg can be a lot of kitchen work. But i do have more energy left in the day now if i keep my workouts to 30-45 minutes. It seems like i can do one or the other, not both.

I also have a weigh in in about two weeks, I will admit though I kind of binged yesterday for comfort because something bad happened (my mom had a seizure) and I was upset but I'm starting over today

So I've got about exactly two weeks until my next pdoc appointment, my goal is to lose a couple pounds by then (they keep track of your weight at the clinic I go to)

Been eating less but no weight loss.

Going to start taking walks everyday beginning Monday

I've been walking every day for 30 minutes. Figured out how many calories it burns.
