A Plan of Eating

I've been really struggling lately with food.  I have remained sugar free, but picked up those freakin' corn chips again, which are like crack cocaine to me!  I stopped planning my food for the day because I wasn't sticking to the plan anyway, so why bother?  I got frustrated, angry, scared... all the things I DON'T want to be. 

I need someplace I can be honest.  I go to OA with my daughter, and because I don't want my struggles (failures) to affect her amazing progress, I don't share them with anyone.  And, you know what they say?  You're only as sick as your secrets.  I'm a pretty sick woman at the moment.

For some reason, online sharing is so much easier for me than face-to-face or even telephone sharing.  So, here goes.  I'm starting over today with a plan.  Maybe it's not the best plan in the world, but it is a plan.  If I deviate, I'll let you know.

B - ham/egg/cheese on english muffin, coffee
L - meatballs and mozzarella
D - taco bake with 2 soft taco shells
S - watermelon

I'd love to hear what you are eating today, or if you have a routine plan of eating, or if you plan or don't plan.  I am struggling and I'm not afraid to let you people know.
 

Oops!  See, I already left something out.  Lunch also includes strawberries.

Honesty is a good thing, not necessarily easy, but helps stay the course. . .

B - Cottage Cheese with salsa and hot sauce (like to spice things up)
S - Fresh cut cantalope, strawberries, orange and pineapple (3/4 of a cup)
L - Thin slice of chicken breast prepared by me at home, seasoned and cooked in nonstick pan, spinach, made with garlic and tiny bit of olive oil (from fresh spinach and garlic)
S- We are having a farewell party, I made the dips. . .so celery with buffalo chicken dip (which is made with lf cream cheese, lf cheddar cheese, chicken breast, hot sauce and lf ranch dressing)
D-Veggie Burger with sliced tomato and red onion salad
S-If any, fresh fruit

Hi Jill - I haven't planned for a l-o-n-g time.  I too am as sick as my secret.  Here is my plan for today.

B:  banana and blueberry smoothie (with my band I am super tight in the morning)
L:  turkey, bacon and avocado on whole wheat (1/2 of a sandwich left over from dinner last night)
D:  left over meatloaf and grilled squash OR leftover fajitas
S:  canteloupe

I just got pack from a 40 minute walk and will swim later today.

First I just have to say it. Throw out the corn chips. ALL of them.

I truthfully rarely plan my meals on paper but am in a pretty good routine for my eating. Here is today's lineup:

B - protein shake (Pure Protein 30 gm. protein in about 160 calories)
S - 2 tbsp. hummus on cucumber slices
L. - leftover chicken and lettuce wraps from lunch out on Monday
S - not sure yet - maybe another shake
D - chilled peel & eat shrimp
S - SF ice cream (which I am learning to control)

The thing that makes this whole business work for me is that I just don't buy the items I can't eat. So if I start grazing....it's more likely to be somethign like veggies....or I change my mind and just get some water.
