Accountability - Wednesday (Best guess!)

So I'm slowing getting the hang of being without internet and access to my favorite social networking site: facebook..No facebook access at work and no internet access at my dad's house..argh..Well, at least I don't have to go completely cold turkey..I do have some internet access at work. My sister is going to come and take my place at my dad's on Thursday night and Friday night..I'll be super happy to go home and be with my own two boys (dh and ds) and my internet..whew!

My eats for Wednesday:

6:30 am 1/4 serving protein waffles, 1/4 large apple, 1/3 serving sugar free pancake syrup

7:00 am 12 oz herb tea (decaf!) I miss my coffee so much in the morning..

8:00 am 12 oz Coffee w/NS Swiss Miss

8:15 am 12 oz Coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss

9:00 am 12 oz Coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss(can you tell I missed my coffee this morning?)

We can work around adversity for at least a little while..I have to remember: "I can do this! This is only as hard as I make it!"

How did you do?

 Although I haven't worked since July 1992 due to disability, I still can't get used to being that detailed in recording my food.  I have all the time in the world.  My wife says I live in my own little world since I really don't face stress.  But, I'm a naturally nervous and anxious guy and I worry a lot about trivial things.

Anyway, I've been abstinate from addictive foods since 7:00am on Sat.  That's a major accomplishment for me.  At first I was working on going an hour at a time.  But now I'm up to the point where I can look at my abstinence as a day at a time.  If tempted, I concentrate on remaining clean and abstinate in the moment.  I can usually make it to the next hour. 

I did keep a food diary for almost 5 months in 2009 and know that my eating at meals is not a problem.  I generally eat between 1,600 and 1,800 cal per day.  At my present weight of 337, I'll continue to lose weight with moderate exercise.  That's just simple math.  I would have to eat an exorbitant amount of calories to increase my weight and that's not going to happen through eating larger meals.  I simply can't eat them.  But, I do know that I can sabotage my program by eating addictive foods especially between meals.

So glad to see you back! I know.. there's no place like home...

I'm am hopeful that I will be able to build this new post-surgery life. One, I really hope, that will include more vegatables! Today I ordered a food processor. It should come soon, so I'm making plans. There are so many good recipes on www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com
I am happy you recommended it.

Today:
11am mac & cheese, dried pinapple
noon protein drink
1:30pm homemade turkey noodle soup
2pm soy chips
5pm protein bar
7pm quesadilla and dried pinapple
10pm more soup, three lifesavers and 1/4 cup cashews

Today's totals:
calories: 1430
protein: 76 grams

all of my fluids and vitamins.
hey, we had the same calorie count today! but you always have much more protein. I would like to increase mine, but I'm afraid to set it too high, because I had stage 3 kidney disease before surgery. My kidney function (and just about everything else) has improved since my weight loss, but I am still worried to stress them out too much.

Hoping tomorrow is a good day for you and everyone reading this post.
