Keeping it honest - Tue/Wed

LOL as I was reading this, I was humming the 12 days of xmas song and added at the end "And oooone miserable CHIP!" Suggestion: Cut your PC bars into 1/3 or 1/4's and only eat a piece of one at a time. Maybe you can 'build' up a tolerance to fat? (((HUGS)))

I'm glad to see I am not the only one who wanted to eat yesterday! I heard on the news that yesterday was supposedly the most depressing day of the year, think that had anything to do with it? I started off good: B: 2 eggs, 2 thin slices bacon, sprinkle of cheddar on eggs s: 1/2 cup cottage cheese l: Applebees WW menu French onion soup (their menu says only 150 calories, but I don't see how with all that bread and cheese in it) only ate the soup and 3/4 of the cheese and a couple bites of bread, a side salad with very little dressing. OK, then it got ugly, I had two bags of those Joseph's sugar free cookies, so I reached in and ate a couple, then a couple more, then a couple more, well you know the drill. finally realizing what I was doing, I dumped both bags into the garbage. Well as if that wasn't enough, I popped a bag of Healthy Pop caramel apple popcorn and ate half the bag! I didn't eat anything else until about 7 p.m. Then I sauteed some veggies with three small pieces of lobster meat, ate lot of veggies. Then later, I ate some of the turkey that I had in the fridge. Hey, its PMS time! Does anyone else get a bottomless pouch during PMS? My weight is up a few pounds and I am very upset at myself. This morning, I ate two boiled eggs with a little cheese and some spicy brown mustard. I plan to have another one for mid-morning and a salad with eggs for lunch. Cottage cheese for afternoon and supper, Tilapia and veggies. I will do better today Angie

Did they say WHY it was the most depressing day? I admit I was majorly bummed yesterday - so I believe em lol. Just wonder why... And yup, have that bottomless pit during PMS. Bites! You planned meals today look very good!

A combination of things, the bills from Christmas are starting to roll in, the winter is starting to get to you, you are just giving up on your New Year's resolutions. There were several things they mentioned but these are the ones I remember. And what a difference a day makes, yesterday I was a bottomless pit, today I have hardly thought about eating, but I started this morning, so I am not surprised. I have stuck to everything I said I was going to eat and not one bite more. And haven't even fished the cookies out of the trash! But I made sure to dump them out of the bag and not just throw them in there in the bag, cause I would have been ok with eating them had they still been wrapped up in the bag. But, this is my office trash and there is nothing in there but paper, hey maybe I CAN eat the ones I dumped out! Just kidding, I really don't have the urge to eat today like I did yesterday. I haven't even had my planned mid-afternoon cottage cheese yet. It's not like me to go past feeding time!

I hope your cottage cheese is better than mine (it got left out and went bad ). Yup bills, bills and more bills! Yuck!

I LOVE those Joseph sugar free cookies! I first saw them on QVC and ordered way to many bags. Now I see that one of the local health food stores carries them. So far today i have had a cup of tea, a bag of popcorn and some of Josephs cookies. I wish I had never saw or tried those stupid cookies because now I am addicted to them and tell myself it's OK because they are sugar free. The worst lies are the ones we tell to ourselves. Sigh. Charlie

Gal over on the bama board commented she gained 6 pounds eating those cookies. Ugh.

Yesterday (Tuesday) started with a blinding headache, the chills and nausea ... 11:30am Progresso beef barley soup, 19 oz (plus I added about 1/4 can of water) 6:00pm Pot roast in gravy, ~2 oz 9:00pm 3 green olives Today? I'll have to let you know. Karyn

ooh are you ill??? (((HUGS)))

wow ... that hug did wonders (I can't tell you how much I needed one!) ... thanks! Actually, I think the headache, chills and nausea were a residual effect of the sedative I had Monday for my endoscopy, but I'm feeling back to normal (well as "normal" as I've been for the past few months). I'm just having some issues with eating. I essentially have no appetite, the thought of food mostly makes me sick, and when I do eat solids, I get pretty bad pains. The only things that really "feel good" are soup and coffee (I'm sure almost any "warm" liquid would do, but I'm particularly on a coffee kick right now). So, I started back on my treadmill yesterday (and today ... I'm on a roll, yay me!), hoping to increase my appetite (oh yeah, I'm sure the exercise isn't bad for me either), and that's also why I wanted to start posting here (for helpful encouragement AND to "Keep it Honest" and maybe something will click for me), although for the longest time (like since you've started this list) I've been a little apprehensive. I'm trying. Karyn
