Abstinence - Day 305

I dropped out of sight on the board for about two weeks, since I couldn't connect to the internet.  A friend of mine just fixed our computer today, so voila!  I am back.  I've lost down to 268 pounds now, leaving me at a total of 26.5 pounds lost so far! Breakfast 1 cup oatmeal 1 cup 1% milk 2 cups coffee 20 oz. water  (I'm having no fruit, since I'm having to fulfil the requirements of a stool sample test.  No oranges, no bananas, no red meat, no Vitamin C, etc.) Lunch Country-fried steak (didn't realize until after I started eating it that I goofed up on the no red meat requirement.  Oh well, I'll just start over tomorrow). Peas Fruit ****tail Rice with gravy 2 medium whole wheat pita breads 16 oz. water Dinner A frozen meal (shrimp, rice, fruit, vegetable) 1 large Slimfast Bar 1-1/2 cups 1% milk Denise Phares/kitties4

Today my food: 1/2 protein bar (80caloires/15 g protein) the other half couple hours later 1 c vegetarian chili (80 calories) 1 bag protein chips (110 cal) 1 c steam broccoli 1 proticinno (80 caloires) 1/2 c fresh veggies on a plate in breakroom (not all bad stuff in there!  LOL) 3 ounces pork chop - braised in water, spices 1 large sweet potato, plain 1 c salad + lite blue cheese dressing Exercise:  45 minutes calisthentics, yoga Had a reminder that my food compulsion is alive and well, just lurking. Saturday's choices at supper were shameful for me. I sneak-snarfed food on my way home from getting a burger for DH and I. I had a day where i felt scared and kind of futile...kind of a why try day. And I gave into it. The bright side is, I remember to not let that one choice rule my self esteem. It will be a long time before I give into that again!

What are protein chips? Brenda

Perhaps soy chips?
