OK, TRUTHFULLY what are you eating?

I thought it would be interesting, since we are all scolding ourselves for what we are eating...to post in and have everyone take a hard look at what we are eating, and get some constructive comments back from everyone! Thanks in advance for the help! ~~em 9/15/2005 325/210/175???will I ever get under 200...not the way I'm eating!

Yes I'm hiding...I am totally ashamed at how I am behaving around food. My dh confronted me last night in love about me eating after 8pm (I was snacking at 10pm) So, here is what I've eaten in the last 24 hours... Monday: Lunch: 1 1/2 cups Hot & Sour Soup with fried crunchy things 1 egg roll Dinner: 3/4 of a 1/2 lb burger patty w/ colby cheese from Cracker Barrel 4 french fries w/ Blue cheese dressing or ketchup water w/ lemon 14 oz Starbucks Caffe Mocha Snack: (at 10pm) 3 oreo-type cookies 2 bite size Chips Ahoy 2 TBS peanut butter Tuesday: Breakfast: 20oz Starbucks Caffe Mocha Lunch: 1/2 bowl of Jason's Deli Chili w/ cheese and onions 1/4 of a Plain Jane baked potato Okay, let the input begin! ~~em

Hey pretty lady, I'll join in. First my food - Sunday 1 blueberry rollup - I cooked some blueberries w/splenda and cinnamin, then I rolled them up in 3 sheets of phylo dough and baked it. OMG it was good. 1 cup chicken soup (homemade w/chicken, tiny meatballs (yup homemade), escarole, leeks, baby bellas and 1 oz dreamfields pasta 1 slice garlic bread w/cheese (i think if it has cheese it's good for you ) 3 whole wheat crackers 1oz cheese Monday Lunch 1 C chicken soup Dinner 1/2c yellow rice w/beans 1 c chicken soup snack 4 whole wheat crackers 1tbs peanutbutter Today lunch 1 cup chicken soup (almost tired of it) 1 apple wedge (about 1/8th of an apple) Dinner - it may change but I think I'm having 6 jumbo shrimps w/1 oz dreamfields pasta 1/2c homemade fra diavolo marinara sauce 1/2 oz cheese snack 3-4 whole wheat crackers and either 1tbs peanutbutter or cheese I haven't been getting my water in and I've been drinking lots of coffee hightest . Okay friends - kick my butt into gear again! Micha

Micha, Your eating seems on target...BUT, my surgeon says to avoid the soups cause they don't stick with us in our pouches long enough, so I avoid them... The rest of your snacking, etc seems ok..proper proporations, etc. No need to do any butt kicking here! Except for the caffeine and no water intake!! paula

Ok, I confess!!! Sunday.... Can't remember what I had for breakfast...a lf yogurt, I think Lunch: 3 oz cheese Ok, here's where it gets bad... Took the kids to the Columbus Day parade downtown and we stopped for snacks. I ate, a larger snack bag size of Smartfood Cheddar Cheese popcorn (all by myself) A few handfuls of pretzels (craving salt and carbs this week). And a handful of tootsie rolls that were thrown to us from parade floats. Dinner: Can't remember... Snack: SF popsicles Monday: B: 2 cheese sticks S: Went to apple cider mill and had two cups of fresh cider (dixie cups) and part of an apple crisp...Blah, was I nauseaus afterwards...BUT, kept picking at it for the rest of the afternoon! BAD L: Picked at something, can't remember S: nothing...or, everything that I'd been snacking on all day long! D: Chinese chop suey with the dried noodles...it tasted bland and awful. But, I ate it anyways. S: SF popsicles, couple of rf wheat thins, small apple, Trying to do water, but not getting in near enough. I've got to start filling a gallon jug and drinking that plus some each day. When I can't remember what I've eaten, it's a bad, bad thing for me. I've GOT to start writing everything down again, because the grazing is creeping in again and especially the week or two before my period. I have my one year at the surgeon's tomorrow. I've not lost any weight in over a month (not gained, though, thank God)...I'm stuck, but, it'll probably show as a loss on his scale from the time prior. He'll tell me to make an appt w/ the dietitian. Paula 330/203-5/175...also wondering if I'll ever get to onederland. But, not the way I'm eating with NO exercise cause my back is pulled out and that's my excuse. OK...yell at me now!

I don't think i do too bad...but I certainly don't feel deprived.... Monday: B: Protein shake Yes I drink it because I like it! S: A few grapes L: A turkey and cheese sand, on two slices of wheat bread 99% lean turkey S:4 sugar free chocolate covered graham cookies D: half of a mixed cheese sub minus half the roll S: more grapes I do a horrible job drinking my water.....but i try. Today: B: Protein Shake S: Two bites of apple L:Turkey and cheese sand S: Rest of small apple with peanut butter S: 4 sugar free cookies D: Planning on tilapia and mac and cheese (I'll eat mostly the fish maybe a few bites of the supermac made with skim milk) I usually eat dinner late so I don't snack much after dinner. Nut told me I could stop drinking the shakes whenever I want but I actually look forward to them in the mornings! What do you all think?
