Tuesday - Watcha Eating Today?

4.5 years post-op and this is what's on my plan today, I shall come back to edit (see buttons below) if I make changes along the way:

B:  Turkey Chili w/l/f cheddar

S:  Strawberries and banana w/piece of cheese

L:  Change in plans, lunch with a co-worker at our local Mexian restaurant:  Fiesta Salad, chicken, lettuce tomato, beans, guacamole, sour cream in a tortilla (ate most of the chicken, beans and some of the lettuce and other stuff, had a small piece of the tortilla shell, which I used to eat all of. . . 

S:  small piece of birthday cake celebrating one of my co-workers birthday, scraped off most of the icing and I will not feel guilty about it, it is what it is and compared to the past, it was nothing, nor did I want more of it, sugary stuff still gives me a hangover feeling, so I don't overdo it

D:  Sushi

S:  None

Good Morning Laureen,
After I have my coffee on the front deck, my eating will go like this:
B - Red pepper, Onion & Cheese Omelet
S - Fresh strawberries
L - Leftover Chicken breast & salad
D - Italian Meatballs w/onions & red peppers
S - Quest Bar
Need to push water. Haven't been getting enough. So glad that you post this every morning. It makes me more accountable for what I will be eating. Thanks so much, Sandra

This was one of those I don't have time to do crap days.  

Breakfast:  Made oatmeal for DH, so I had 1/2 Cup with splenda and a little butter

Snack:  Orange

Lunch:  Cobb Salad with low fat dressing

Snack:  No snack…no time

Dinner:  1/4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, 1/2 acorn squash

Dessert:  1 baked apple with cinnamon and splenda and a dash of butter.

Snack will be cheese. 

eating badly, too ashamed to post...but a good thing I am aware ....self hate and all...

Be kind to yourself, this path is not an easy one, most especially for those of us who for most of our lives did not use food appropriately.  Awareness is a beginning, acceptance of where you are is a springboard for taking the Action necessary to move forward and take charge of your tool!  With support of one another we can continue to plod through this and change, some days are going to be better than others, for me it was coming to accept that this was not magic, but a tool to help me take charge or what was an unmanageable feat, but a lifetime of bad habits does not change in 4.5 years and so while I post, the good, the bad and the ugly of what I eat, it holds me accountable and when I see the story of the scale, I can know why it is changing, good or not. . .  continue to post and please stop self hating, it serves no greater purpose for you on this journey. . .

Best wishes for a brighter, lighter day!

Laureen
