I ordered comfort food again today. I think I've been ordering a lot because overall I don't feel well emotionally. I try to order as healthy as I can. The other bad thing is when I don't order, I don't cook anything. I eat sandwiches, steamed vegetables, yogurt, cereal and frozen meals. I think I am tired of my dull day to day diet.

I did weigh myself when I got home. It was about 5 in the afternoon. The last time I weighed myself I was 156 in the morning. This afternoon I weighed 157 exactly. So I’m probably more like 154. People are going to start to notice and think I’m sick or something. I’ve been losing really fast. I don’t really want to bring it up to my therapist the things I’m dealing with and feeling.

155 today. I still can’t eat much of anything but I was going to go buy some ritz peanut butter and crackers and other similar stuff so I can at least force down something small.

The back of the coke bottle said 46 K cal besides that everything was in Japanese. I put it at 200 since I think that’s what a normal 16oz Coke is. But who cares. It could have been partially diet for all I know. So I either ate 1,210 calories, or 1,056 today.

I had a GP appointment today. When they weighed me, I looked the other way. I was afraid that I didn't lose anything in 3 months. I didn't even ask about it and they said nothing. The doctor suggested a weight loss pill when I mentioned I was struggling. But the side affects worry me. Suicidal thoughts could be a problem. So I prefer not to try it.

Still 155 today. So far I’ve had 906 calories. Dinner is going to be a piece of chicken at 110 calories or fish at 130 calories. That leaves me with around 164. I’ll probably just scavenge around for snacks to make it to my 1200 calorie goal.

I stepped on the scale this morning. I'm at 276. Just 4 pounds over where I was before I started ordering food. So not too bad. Will try to stick to my regular meals now.

Not really sure why... I must be bored with my meals. Yesterday and today I ordered food and an Iced Mocha. I guess I'm just tired of depriving myself. Maybe I can start making my own iced coffee. I could also make an effort to prepare better meals.

My antibiotics must be making me bloated or constipated because I barely ate anything yesterday and I was 157.6 today.

Found out today that my occasional splurges have been fine. My blood sugar labs came back positive. My A1C was 6.0. I ate all home prepared meals today. I feel better. I won't step on the scale for a little while though. Maybe in a week. I plan to eat well.

Down another half pound, shouldn't be too long till I break through under 160. This is the lightest I've weighed in almost a year. My goal weight is 140 lbs which is good for my height

Me too, I have quit my sugar addiction and takeaways. From now on home prepared healthy meals designed to lose my excess weight and no added sugars and no pub dinners. Back in control . I like that someone else is doing it the healthy way. I don't think it's wise to count the calories to lose weight and still eat pizza and take aways and processed muck. People on this thread don't seem to be concerned about eating healthy just keeping their weight down. We need to use food as medicine and to prevent ill health.

I agree... what we eat is so important for good health. I lost a lot of weight by eating healthy. I kept good food as my goal. Lately I haven't been doing as well. I am trying to do better now. I think I was mainly eating to cope with stress. I know that's not good. I wish you great success with your new meal plans.

I eat very healthy. I'm trying to get my weight down though because I want to be in a healthy range for my height. It is a weight loss and exercise thread, doesn't have to be only posts about healthy eating. I don't post what I eat in here but I like to check in with my progress on getting to a healthy weight.

I'm afraid to step on the scale. I splurged on french fries yesterday. But I didn't really over eat. I ordered a chicken fried steak and only ate half of it. Yesterday was very stressful so I wanted comfort food. I know using food to feel better is not really healthy. I hope to do better today. I usually just eat when I'm hungry. So that is one thing in my favor. I might try to walk a little bit today to get some exercise. Or I might try my chair yoga again. I haven't done that in a while.

I know I have started a diet and failed to lose weight many times. I have stuck to the 1300 calorie diet for three days now. I know I will carry on
with it this time cos I am determined to beat my addiction to sugar and junk foods. I want it to be a complete change of life style, where I stop all sugar
and eat healthy, plenty of vegetables and fruit. So I have done that for 3 days and if I carry on every day I will lose a lot of weight.

I am the heaviest I have ever been because when my mum got taken into hospital this July the stress made me binge on cakes and chocolate and junk food from the pub.
So I weigh 142kg which is 313 pounds or 22 stones 5 pounds. A massive size. I am at the stage where I feel uncomfortable, struggle to walk and I feel hideously unattractive.
So I have started this diet at the right time for me. I am visiting the diabetic nurse once a month for weighing so I will update here what my weight is.

I can’t tell if I’m dealing with PMS or what. But I was doing fine and I was 157 on Saturday maybe. Fizzy water makes me really hungry though. Like ravenous. I weighed myself today and I was 161. Today I’ve had 1,280 calories. I’m all over the place lately.

I started WW this week. Since I've gained some weight, I thought I would try a program to help me lose the weight. I don't plan to order any food until Thanksgiving. And then I'll order something healthy.

I was 157.2 today. I haven’t been very hungry these past 3 days. I haven’t been feeling the greatest.

I broke the diet today I ate trifle not a lot but I shouldn't have done it. I will be right back on it tomorrow. I don't have any more forbidden foods in the house so I will get back on track. I am bound to find it difficult at times hopefully in future I will successfully navigate and say no. Its coming up to a difficult time of year Christmas. I am going to not buy the usual alcohol and chocolate for myself. It will be sugar free desserts and non alcoholic drinks.

I like WW but I'm not really motivated to track my food. I do it whenever I think about it. Not sure that I'm getting any benefit out of the app. I don't cook, so recipes are not good. I don't have anything to share with the community. I have no questions for a coach. Maybe I should just cancel my subscription.
