What the heck is wrong with me??? I'm down 3.5 lbs and feel like crap.  I know as soon as I get back to 1200 to 1300 calories, i'll gain it back plus more and I hate that! 

You won't necessarilly gain more than what you lost. You're having stress issues just now. It will even out. When you bump back up to 1300 calories you'll be running all directions at once with school and work so you'll be just where you wanna be..

The list looks good. if you could eat more, I know you would. The numbers actually look pretty good today, getting up there. You're doing it. It's still way too easy to lose weight even as far out as we are. Just some time lower than your RMR and it drops..Keep up the good work. See ya.

Bad Beagle! I had a fine day, no exercise but that was planned. I am training for a 10 K and needed a rest day; tomorrow is a 4 mile run. I got my date for my hernia repair and extended abdominoplasty; September 25th! I need to bump up the protein until then. Today was so-so. I will go to the daily plate after this.
B-protein drink and high fiber quaker oatmeal.
S-sf ff choc pudding w/ bran buds and a half of banana
L-2 turkey meatballs, marinara sauce, brocoli and a smidge of parmeson
S-1/2 pretzel from Aunt Annies and a mango mantra smoothie from Jamba juice-non dairy splenda smoothie-180 calories
D-eggs, bacon and small potato made into home fries
S-probably a skinny cow
school shopping and mall walking, half a day at work and am no going for a quick walk with my DD.

Yeah, she's a hunting dog and it's really hard to un-teach hundreds of years of breeding..Nothing she likes better than getting a bunny or a squirrel cornered somewhere and harrassing it to death..sigh. it will take some time to figure out how to get the electrical back working. Like dh had nothing better to do. LOL.

Wow..I'm sure glad you got your surgery date. That's exciting and nervous all at the same time. You know how to up the protein...More protein and lower the carbs. Carbs are the issue, to me. You'll do wonderful.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

Hi All,

You gotta love the dog though right?!?  It must be a beagle thing, our 1st dog was a beagle and she ate all the insides out of our electric blanket one day - we were picking up bits of wire for weeks, if you know what I mean ...

Yesterday was pretty good, missed dinner and ended up snacking for food, bad choice, but human...Went to support group yesterday, our group NUT spent the meeting fielding questions, was refreshing to review so much that is fresh to newbies, good reminders...One of the things she was big on saying was maintenance should be a 40/40/20 plan ( 40% prot, 40% good carbs & 20% low fat choices )  My maintenance program is definately not this balanced, alot more fat and less carbs, wondering if I need to re-adjust, what I'm doing seems to be working well for me, but maybe its not the best for my body, guess I will do some more research...

B - B52 protein Shake
S - coffee with choc carb countdown
S - protein coffee
L - sausage crust quiche, 1/4 cup sweet corn, 1oz cheddar and 7 nsa b &b pickle chips
S - 5 homemade cheese wafers and 1 white choc dipped peanutbutter cracker

Water / crystal lite : 112 oz                             Cals :  936     Fat :  53     NetCarbs :  41     Protein :  75

Bye for now...

She's naughty for sure. Usually it has something to do with her chasing something. When we first got her she was stealing stuff. The neighbor kids would leave toys outside and she'd bring them home and hide them. Shoes, cowboy boots, winter hats, stuffed animals. She had a cache of stuff somewhere in the yard and when it was full, the new thing would stay and she'd bring something out of it and leave it on the porch. Once she picked up my cellphone when I dropped it. Petey knew where her cache was and knew the phone was mine (and so, by extention HIS) so he went and got it the next morning. He didn't bring it to us but dropped it when we saw him with it. I might have never gotten my phone back! Bad Beagle. She hasn't stolen anything in a while.

Wow...low numbers! I fully believe that fat is our friend. It's good for your skin if not for other body functions, including digestion and keeping things "flowing." The thing I know for SURE is that high amounts of protein absolutely have to have plenty of water or your kidneys are in danger.

 My support group (one of them) isn't so user friendly. Lots of things being told newbies that I don't agree with. And adding "If you're not_____, you're gonna fail" and I just don't like that. There aren't THAT many rules that end with "you're gonna fail.

I had a good eating day.

b..2 eggs and 2 slices of butter toast

L.. hb happy meal. Mcdonalds. ate it all. 

d..hardees little thick burger combo. ate 1/2 then the other 1/2 later. 

Got me a diet coke and still can't do sodas. It was nasty. But got in all my water. Has lots of ice tea.   

I need to eat like this everyday for a while.

Mary

Thank you. It is today. I am so happy. I made it to 45 years old. I am 4 years now with anorexia and I am still here. I am so happy I just can't tell you. I was really really scared I was not going to see it.
