Everyday Systems

Ok here it goes....

Breakfast; Black Cherry yogurt with coffee and creamer

Lunch: Potato soup with med. orange some crackers and 3 cookies.

Dinner: A tossed salad, with 5 small squares of pizza, with sugar free lemonade. Someone put chocolate candies on the table for desrt, but I didn't take any.

Over all I feel that I did pretty good today being my first real day back on No S. I could have done with out the cookies, but I was still hungary after the soup and I usually have more than 3.
My problem is that I am an emotional eater and cookies have always been my favorite friend in times of distress. I just need to learn to say NO! I could make 1000 excuses for myself here, but I wont.
All in all, a good day, tomorrow will be better, because I am planning on having a little more for breakfast. The yogurt was good, but I was still hungary after that, so I have been hungary all day, no wonder I broke down and ate a few cookies.
Tomorrow in another day.
Sink or swim.

Hi Michele,

Thanks for offering your support on my posting in the main discussion.

Sounds like you did a good job of restraint on the cookies. Just looking at your log, you might want to up the protein/fiber/veg content if you're having hunger issues. (While I *do* struggle with eating issues, I've actually learned how to conquer physical hunger problems, and protein, veggies and fiber really help!) At least for me, if I'm really hungry (not just cravings, but physically hungry) it's way too easy to reach for *anything* nearby.

Best,

H

Thanks for the tip, I am going to be more mindful of what I eat. I have a lot of fruit in the fridge. and some fresh veggies. they would be much better for me to snack on if I was in dire need of a snack than a cookie.

Peace
Michele

Ok

Breakfast: Small bowl of Cheerios cereal, 2 slices of Wheat toast and green tea

Lunch: Potato soup & crackers large glass of water

Dinner: Bowl of chili and garlic bread and salad. large glass of water.

Was very tempted at work and at home with snacks and cookies, I said no thank you.

Amazing what you can do once you make up your mind to do it.

The day was better for me because I had a better breakfast, so I wasn't hungry all day. It made a big difference.

All in all a ****SUCCESSFUL DAY****

Today was pretty sucessful, although I could have done better. I went to friends house this evening for dinner, and HAD to have a small piece of Lemon cake.

Breakfast was a peanutbutter and apricot perserve sand. with little orange (clementine), and green tea.

Lunch was 2 pieces of leftover pizza and one piece of garlic bread, which was way too much grease than my stomach cared for.

Supper, pot roast, mashed potatoes and carrots and onions, brocoli salad, and water. and the cake.

Was tempted by some good Italian candy and cookies again, but I held fast and remained strong.

It could have been much worse.

Today was a sucessful day. managed to stay away from treats and other things that was right in front of me.

Today was another good day.

Breakfast was 1 slimfast shake and 2 small granola bars.

Lunch was a bowl of Fruit Harvest cereal, with skim milk and 2 pieces of toast with apricot preserves, and green tea.

Dinner was 2 small pieces of baked fish ( blue gill) steamed cauliflower, Roasted eggplant, salad, and suger free chocolate pudding and water.

I think I am doing ok, I don't get as hungry anymore, I must be getting used to not eating as much and staying away from snacks.

Have a great S day everyone!

Well even though it is an S day I have still tried to be good, I ate a cookie, and was just not happy about how I felt after I ate it. It sounds weird, but I was actually disapointed in it.
I had some sweetened popcorn, that was alot better, but I even limited how much I ate of that.
I ate a salad with my supper, and for me to volluntarily eat a salad is a BIG step for me. Again, it sounds weird, but I was never a big salad person till this week.

Hope everyone is doing great. One more week till my water aerobics class begins, can't wait.

Well, I think today had it's ups and downs. I had every intention of it being a sucessful day. I stayed away from the candy dish at work.
for breakfast I had a Slimfast shake with a granola bar
Lunch was a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with water and chex mix on the side with an apple.
Dinner was chicken and rice and veggie cassarole. A weight watchers recipe. It was ok, the rice was still a little too hard, but it was good.
I had a hard day at work today, so I grabbed a coke. Not what I should have grabbed, but I really REALLY wanted it.
So maybe I should say today is a failure? I don't know. I didn't really snack like I would normally do under stress, but still I made some wrong choices.
Tomorrow will be better.

Breakfast: Bagal with light cream cheese, apricot perserves, and green tea

Lunch: Pb&j sand. yogurt and a necatrine

Dinner: Veggie burger w/ lettus & tomato, baked beans, vanilla pudding, 2 glasses of water.

Stayed away from dreaded candy dish again. things are looking up.

well I was doing real good today until supper time. I guess I could have said no to the cake, but it was hard to resist.
Tomorrow will be better.

Breakfast: Cottage cheese and dry toast, green tea

Lunch: Corn cassaroll brocoli handful of nuts, water

Dinner: BBQ rib coleslaw, corn cass. Cranberry juice , water

This weekend was successful. Although I missed breakfast today, and I suffered the rest of the day because I was ssooo darned hungry. NEVER AGAIN! I am finally full 8:30 at night, but I think I finally got ful.
I had a ham and cheese roll up sandwich after I got back from church, then that moved to more stuff, untill I pretty much nibbled the whole afternoon.
note to self:: DON'T MISS BREAKFAST!!
It's like missing my prayer time, screws up my whole day.
Tomorrow will be better. need to get on track.

This week has been successful, I slipped a little yesterday, then got back on track. Today's a good day too.

Today I wasn't feeling good, but still managed not to eat too much. went to water aerobics, went at a slower pace.
Not too smarrt, but I need to go!
not tempted to eat very much. thats a plus.

Well, I still have a bad cough and cold, so I have been laying low.

Lunch was Grean tea.with honey I wasn't hungry.

Just a quick question to all of you in no S land, How do you get the clorine smell off your skin after being in a pool?
I was real good after water aerobics, but I can still smell the pool water on me for a day or 2 after!

Have a great weekend
