WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY? 9-22-05

WHAT A DAY!!!!!!! It's a wonder I didn't find a big VAT of food, dive in and eat my way out! *sigh* STILL at work...probably will be till after 10pm. UGH. Ok...here goes.... B- leftover Longhorns steak & baked potato Starbucks Venti Nonfat Cafe' Mocha no Whip..**** **** I, Tami, PROMISE no more Starbucks for AT LEAST a month. MUST.....STOP......STARBUCK'S.....EVIL....SUGAR.....CONTENT!!! L - Trip to the dentist - some good bondo for the tooth, and the promise of a root canal on the the 7th. OH..FOOD? Stopped at Chickfila and got a bowl of their chicken soup and a large unsweet tea. Dribbled plenty down my novacained mouth so don't count the WHOLE thing!! LOL! D - 2 Burger King hamburgers, ketchup only. WHY 2???? One woulda done it. Now, I'm all "belchy"...ICK... I know...TMI. 48 oz of water. What a crappy crappy day. Tomorrow WILL be better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ain't I just a big ray of sunshine today?? Sorry. HOW DID YOUUUUU do????

b - coffee....this time with Hazelnut cream YUMMY!!!! later I had a bowl of cereal l - corndogs....yummy d - two slices of turkey a scoop of mashed potatoes. And I had half a glass of kool aid...and a HUGE propel...the really big one - not just the 24 oz!!! not great - but hey I'm the first to admit I stink at my food choices

B - the other half of the turkey, bacon, cheese panini, but I peeled off most of the bread, 1 cup coffee w/ 2 splenda & 1 hazlenut creamer S - cold Stallone High Protein pudding - vanilla today (surprisingly yummy) L - 8 bites of fried rice; small bag of potato chips (what the H@LL?? Where did all these carbs come from??) S - Luna chocolate pecan pie bar D - Healthy choice chicken strips/mac & cheese. 85 oz water today (maybe more, but I lost count) Think I met the protein quota today! Woo Hoo! Hey...Starbucks is not entirely evil. I normally get a SF/FF/Decaf Vanilla Latte - Venti. I call that my protein shake because it's the best damn tasting 20g protein I have yet to find! My name is Ginger and I am a Starbucks junkie...I recently interviewed for a job at the Atlanta regional office, but no such luck.

Hmmmm..... lets see if I can remember.... B: Cinnamon Raisin Bagel and 3 slices of bacon L: 2 Krystal Burgers... extra mustard about 10 fries. D: a cup of chicken and stars soup. I have only gotten in about 40 oz CL Oranger Sunriser today. I am still sick as a dog and have had to force in what I have gotten down. Oh, I also had a Philly Swirl Cotton Candy cup. Maybe tomorrow will be better...

Yesterday I was starving all day... I am hating myself for this snacking habit... I am even thinking about going into some therapy for this. Anyone ever do any eating disorder consulations? Has it helped? B- Protein Bar L- Had a business lunch 5-6 spoonfuls of portobello mushroom soup- YUMMY Chicken cutlet (did not eat breading and skin) five spears of asparagus two small slices of potato 1 bite of cheesecake S-Here is what I did from 2-6 PM 2 small bags of chips 3 mini candy bars D- Buddig honey turkey package S- Here is where I killed myself from 7-9PM 8 wheat crackers 1 large bowl of air popped popcorn 4 mini SF candy bars WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME????

Sounds like you got some stress going on in your world too girlie!! You know...as snacking goes, at least you were using S/F cany bars, the Budding honey turkey isn't bad, and only 8 wheat crackers isn't so bad either. But I HEAR ya on the grazing. It is the HARDEST THING in the world. When I am at work, I do pretty well....I'm busy, I'm occupied and I don't sit around and think, "What to eat, what to eat?"... But get me home....mind is CONSTANTLY wandering to food. I did some precounseling but it wasn't directed solely at food. I am ready to get some more individualized counseling... I WILL NOT lose this battle!! BY the way...to be completely honest... I did that post and then wound up at wor****il 11PM!! In that time, I need to add to the stuff I ate... 4 mini twix bars...and when I got home, I got into my son's leftover baby back ribs (had 3). *sigh* I hear you Miz Maureen.... I'm so glad I have you guys to bounce this off of. It IS helping me to be more accountable, I DO think about what I am eating, but by 10:00 last night I coulda cared LESS if I had to tell you guys that I ate that durned candy! LOL!

I know... as I kept stuffing myself when I got home, I kept saying " I can lie and not tell anyone"...but I thought I should fess up. I am going to look into some counseling. I liked the guy who did my psych evaluation pre-surgery. I think I will call his office and see what they have, and what my insurance will cover

I have been reading these posts daily. Everyday I tell myself I am going to start being accountable and post what I have consumed. So far, I have have not been able to come clean. I've been eating way more than I should. It's not all bad, just grazing WAYYYY to much. It scares me and shames me. I'm hoping that by continually reading these posts, eventually I will gather the courage to be honest with myself. Hugs, Tonya

Hey Girlfriend As you can see, you are not alone. Every day I say I am going to do better, and the grazing habits come back again. If there is food near me, I will eat it. I understand the shame part. I am so afraid of sabatoging myself and going back to where I was. Keep strong
