So in an effort to try and understand my very sad eating habits I wanted to write down my internal thought process. Maybe seeing it on paper will trigger something. When I eat incorrectly (ie. cookies, candies etc) I internalize and ration with myself ""its ok, ill eat less to come in under my calorie count." Looking at the amount of empty calories I eat is kind of shocking. I mean a handful of skittles here, a few cookies there, it really adds up. I've always been able to eat what I want (within reason) and lose weight before....that is as long as I was working out hard, which I ALWAYS do. I guess when you let your weight go up and down so many times in life (as I have) and get older, its only natural that your body starts to get WISE to your habits. I can go a day or two being very strict then completely! fall of the wagon (pizza, cake, etc.) Thank goodness I really love working out...but I'm starting to get frustrated. DO you really have to eat so clean EVERYDAY?

Lesson learned for today:: the cheat meals/days etc add up

just curious, how are you getting your hands on the cookies and candies? do you work during the day? i pack my lunch & snacks, and take them into the office w/me. definitely get teased because it looks like i bring SO much food in!

there is a vending machine, but i stay away by either not having cash at all, or by not having single dollar bills in my wallet.

i try to stay away from the desks w/the candy dishes.

You need to try and get some type of lean protein with EVERY meal!! With the meals you have laid out here today, I see very little protein. Also make sure that with the protein for each meal you get either a carb (veggies, sweet potato etc) or a healthy fat (ie. nuts, fish oil, natural PB etc.) You should be eating 5-6 of these type of meals a day and should be hitting NO LESS than 1600 calories. I noticed that you use fitday.com to track your calories each day, go ahead and write those in your log (ie. calories, and grams/% of Protein, Carb and Fat). This will help us as well as help you see where your calories are coming from. It will also help you think twice before eating that cookie or candy becuase you will find out the nutritional value of it!!! I believe that if you start eating clean and healthy, you won't crave the cookies or skittles as much because you will be full and satisfied!! Try to eat clean for 6 days and then allow yourself a cheat meal on the 7th. This will both motivate you and allow you to enjoy some the things you love to eat as well as keep your metabolism up and running!
