WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY 10-21-05

A different day for me.... I was not at work, and not on any regiment. What did that mean? Not eating as well. Dang it. Ok... I gotta tell ya folks...some day's it's terribly embarrassing to put what I ACTUALLY ate on here. However, I started this as a means of making myself accountable. That HAS happened, and I can say that I DO think more of what I am eating. What it has ALSO become for me, is a means to realize that I am NOT a FAILURE when I have a bad food day. It means I didn't win the battle for that day. This is ultimately a WAR against overeating, and some days I win and some days I lose. Cathy Martin opened my eyes when she shared that this is a DAILY/HOURLY struggle and will be for LIFE. You know, I've heard that MANY TIMES in my life...but for some reason, when she put it the way she did, it was a critical self realization. Just like someone that has to live with a self debiliating disease, I have to WORK at this daily. It IS possible to backslide. Don't kid yourself that is it not. Ok... Stepping down off my soapbox now. Here's my not so great food day. B: 6am - small slice of leftover pizza 9:45 - met my friend for breakfast at IHOP. Had a small slice of ham, 1.5 slices of bacon, and an egg...about 3 bites of a pancake and 2 cups of coffee. L: A meatball sandwich. Ate 1/2 at the restaurant, and the other half about 2 hrs later. D: 2 slices of leftover pizza. Getting the theme here? LOL I HAVE had 3 bottles of water...no vitamins today (they are all packed up with my desk contents from work - our office is moving..that's how I got the day off!) Ok.. all...WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY??

Hi Tami, I had a not so good day myself. I am in a struggle for my life. I started this fight at 420 lbs + I am now at about 310 +/-. I have to appeal to all of you reading this post. I am weak. I have failed at weight loss all my life because I am weak. I need you all to hold me accountable, every day. I will post what I have done. Good bad or ugly and I expect to hear from all of you if I am failing. I can not make it on my own right now. I am in a learning phase that requires the education of those that have gone before me. This fight is a life time fight. Right now I need all of y'alls help. This is today so far..

We all have days that we would like to forget what we ate. Some days I go in to a nibble mood and it is about every 2 hours that I find myself looking for something. We just have to wake up the next day and try to do better. It is a lifetime commitment and some days we all loose the battle. As long as we win the war -that is what counts. So here goes Friday: B: 8oz sugar free yogurt and 1/2 cup cereal S: South Beach breakfast bar S: 1/2 apple and handful of walnuts and rasins L: Meat & cheese from a deli sandwich, fruit cup S: South Beach bar when I got home from work D: Bowl of High protein cereal and 1/2 cup of skim milk. S: Weigh****chers Ice cream after I woke up from my second nap. No exercise at all besides brushing my teeth. I was on call Thursday night and only got 3 hours of sleep so I slept from 7 pm until this morning. I only woke up to eat. Not that I would miss that ! Now I am off to the gym to make up for yesterday and see if I can work out the soreness from the body sculpting class on Wednesday. I have muscles that I didn't know about that are still hurting. Considering how much I hate to exercise, that is the area where I need acountability! Any excuse is a good excuse. denise
