Yesterday I ate some Girl Scout cookies in the afternoon, my goal is to not do that today. I have been able to stop eating a before bed snack the last 3 nights, so at least I'm improving there.

Thank you for posting so honestly about the challenges you've been having and how you're doing.  I'm learning so much from your candidness! I know it's a daily struggle, but know that you're inspiring others!!

You're welcome.  I'm glad that others can learn from my mistakes.  I didn't refrain from Girl Scout cookies yesterday, but I only had 2 where the day before I think I had 5.  My biggest failure yesterday was eating pie.  I don't try to avoid stuff like that always, because I know I won't be successful.  My goal is all things (within reason) in moderation.  My mom made peach pie for dessert.  I ate dinner (which was grilled steaks and was delicious).  Then I had a very small piece of pie, "piece" isn't even the right word because it was really only about 5 bites.  But, I was full.  I knew I was full and I ate the pie anyway and then I threw up.  It was the first time I've thrown up in about 5 months.  I felt like such a moron.  But, oh well.  I'll listen to my body better next time.

Good luck with your chemo, Gwen!  I will keep you in my thoughts :)

I ate poorly this morning because I wound up going to work earlier than expected, and forgot my tuna at home.  Someone at work gave me a bunch of powercrunch bars, and I have mixed feelings about them.  They are nice and soft when dipped in tea, but I'd rather eat something higher protein, I think.  I only eat 1/2 at once anyway.

1. Atkins shake.

2. 1/2 a powercrunch bar (dipped in tea until it was very soft)

3. 2 oz cheese

I don't feel like eating much today.  If I do later it'll be either:

4. 5 oz greek yogurt

5. 4 oz. chicken in 2 oz. broth

If I don't eat, I'll have a 30g protein shake tonight.
