Hi Steph, I had what I consider a bad day. My problem is that I am a very black and white person. If my day isn't to bad and I know dinner time will be difficult I just am discouraged from the get go. Bad thinking that I am determined to change. Last night we went to dinner at a friends house that is a GREAT GOURMET COOK. Knowing that I would be bad dinner time I was sloppy with my food choices all day so I self defeated myself from the get go. It's Sunday morning that I am posting this and I already drowned down the sink the demon ice-cream that was in the freezer. I have woke up with a refreshed determination. Nothing is worth the horrible feeling that we all experience when not taking charge of every situatation. If necessary I should have enjoyed the company and brought my own food last night. I was not even going to post my saturday check in, feeling so bad about my lack of will yesterday, but I am determined to be accountible. You are all great. Today will be another difficult day, visiting relatives with great food all around me. but I already have my cooler out and will have it loaded with all of "my food". Have a great day everyone and thanks for all being here. P.S. I forgot to mention, that my friend loveingly did offer to prepare what I needed, I turned it down, for her great meal, hence my GUILT.

B - scrambled egg, whole wheat mini pita L - 6 pcs (7 oz) sushi - I got this pre -made at the seafood section of the grocery store... not bad. The last few times I've had it, it's made my blood sugar bottom out, but no problem this time. This had much more fish and less rice than the resturant ones I was getting. S - 4 almonds, 1/2 c sherbert at the gathering D - Low carb Smart one, 2 slices of tomatoe, 1 whole wheat mini pita Not enough water and no exercise Becky

Saturday was NOT a good day for me, Im not sure why...Old habits die hard... B; Yogart with bananna S: S/F Popsicles (2) L: Smart one S: Boiled P-Nuts....(loaded with salt) D: Great Northern Beans.... S: More Boiled P-Nuts...and (2) MORE S/F Popsicles... Today is a new day....

Well, Have been missing in action for a few days. Started my new job and have been getting settled there. Eating was good all week.... yest was a different story. Was craving something that I couldnt figure out... Sooooooo unfortunately I grazed allllllllll day.... oven toast, sf popcicles, cookies, chips, chicken... bites here bites there... well today is a new day... it seems as though if I dont have a set pattern or set meals... its my downfall... was also emotionally eating I think.... mad at dh (even tho he wasnt here)... Im home cleaning up the mess of 4 people... no help as dh was out of town at a fun event .. friend getting married, dd1 was out with friends and the dd2 (5yo) can only do so much. so very frustrated.... but like I said... today is a new day. Have a great Sunday Karen

sat was bad also b- woke up too late s-n\a l- half of a chicken salad sandwhich, lg sweet tea, three waffle fries s-four mini chocolate chip cookies d-sheperds pie (hamburger and corn mixture with a mashed potatoe covering), a bottle of water, part of a juice pouch. s- kashi dark chocolate cherry granola bar exercise- NONE again...bad!!! i am usually good at drinking water, i dont know why i am missing it on my daily routine. 259lbs.

Today is Sunday but I am really proud of myself for yesterdays eating. I went the entire day w/o something sweet. I struggle greatly with the sweets and its purely out of habit. I am trying to cut them out completely except on emergency occasions, aka PMS. So heres what I had yesterday: B-3/4c flax cereal and 1/4c skim milk L-shrimp fajitas at the mexican rest., one tortilla, about 10 chips and salsa S-1oz almonds and a apple D-broiled tilapia, a few bites steamed brocc, and a few bites of tomatoe and mozz salad Thats it! It was incredibly difficult after dinner(which is when I indulge in my sweets) but I managed to get through it. I waste so many calories in junk, but Im trying with all my heart to quit this now. Candy
