Share Your Food Diary

February 7, 2010

I find it very spooky to see that I have gone back to my Food Diary  one day one year later to find an outlet to my winter eating.  I mean her I am with  another year of “few problems” with my eating.  Obviously this is truly a winter thing, but it is rewarding to find out that last year even though I had the same dame weight problem I made it through the year until February and a bit of January came along and gave my appetite a calling of its own.  I mean with the head am I doing backing  fruit tarts and biscotti’s and think of cupcakes.  I can go the entire year and maybe have a few biscotti’s a week now I scoff down two or three  a day.  Okay this is good I feel better I will not eat a lot today or only one meal.  That’s  one meal then I wont keep on extending the first meal until my day becomes an exercise of going to the refrigerator.   Let me tell you going to the refrigerator does not lose at least one ounce. But not going well that can do it for sure.  Give me luck I’m going to my scale this will be sad but I know that soon my resolve will come back and warm weather will be here and my goal of 115 or 116 will be what’s great me in the morning and I will rejoice.

February 8, 2009

Good news. Even though yesterday gave me a few problems.  My computer stopped working all day and so did my telephone.  The television was erratic and I started to work on my taxes.  that was  a great thing as I need to get that done and I hope to finish by tonight.  Anyway I was so intent about my taxes that I didn’t eat much and I lost a pound and two ounces, bring my weight down to 117.8.   I didn’t have breakfast. I know ‘ that’s not good, but I wasn’t   hungry.  I had a mesclun salad, with hearts of palm roasted peppers and blue cheese and my now two sunnyside up eggs using spray butter for the stick.  I only use vinegar but the type that maybe extremely expensive it is so good that I don’t need oil.  I looked at my diary and I didn’t write anything and I don’t remember what else other than two clementines and  the salad.

February 7, 2009 Well I am not to thrilled with my share a food diary road to lose weight.  Three days ago I weighed too much to share with everyone. I was extremely annoyed as I kept my calories below 1300 and thought that was good enough to lose.  Well I was wrong.  Dead wrong.  Then the day after I took in 2100 calories and was a wreck until the following morning (I always weigh myself in  he morning after I shower and naked.) I lost a pound. Go figure.  Yesterday was a so so day and I now like to overstate the calorie amount just to make sure and had 1550 calories. For some reason maybe it was the walnuts at the end of the day or who knows what, when I weighed myself I lost back a full pound.  I am not a happy dieter by a long shot.

For lunch or breaklunch I had two eggs and a salad of mesclun, hearts of palm, a sprinkle of blue cheese and a few slices of endive thats’ it.  I wrote 250 calories to be on the safe side blue cheese you know and well lets see what happens.  Wish me luck

I am not so sure about this food diary.  I am not complaining but I had 1330 calories, (my estimation) and I gained 2 ounces.  Okay maybe I shouldn’t even mention the 2 ounces but I was under the impression that a person should taken in 2,000 calories and I was way short of that.  So what happened?  I think I am under estimating my count.  That must be it.  Today I will try to over estimate,  therefore fool myself and we will see what happens tomorrow.   So far I had Dannon yogurt,  five bites of chicken no skin, a half of the salad I made and a quarter of a pint of Chocoleche ( my favorite) Tasti-delite.

By the time it took me to post this I have to change te quarter of a pint of Chocoleche yogurt to a half a pint, which now equals 200 calories in my over estimation.

My resolution for 2009 is to keep my weight between 112 and 116 pounds.  Or realistically no higher than 116 pounds. Well Here we are February 1,  and since we are sharing I weigh 118.8.  I consider that critical mass and started a food diary.  The first day January 30, I weighted a scary 119.2 and ate about 1300 calories.  On January 31 I weighed in at 118.2 pounds and was thrilled.

Wow A food diary does it I figured.  Okay here I go .The problem seems to be that today being the third day, my weight should have gone down.  I ate only 1150 calories and I couldn’t wait to weigh myself.  and weighed 118.8.  Scary I thought.  But still determined to continue this diary.

Today it is February 1,  all I ate so far is yogurt and a small two spoon fulls of fresh fruit.  Its after twelve.  I am starving and going out to get lettuce. I will keep you posted. A shout out to my dear friend June Berliner who is doing the same thing with her friends and an inspiration to me.  Anyone that wants to join our food diary go into comments and begin.  Good Luck.
