You just don't wanna know how much I ate yesterday
It was disgusting, but I kept on eating
It doesnt happen often, but when it does, I'm an eating freak
Anyway, it's done.
Today is a new day, I'm planning on eating well
Probably an egg salad sandwich with some green salad on the side for lunch

Hey GAT: that would be cool if you could share that with me. I've also got on online diary on fitday.com which is really helpful to see in a pie chart and graph section. I'm finding that although I thought I was being really really healthy eating so much fruit and veg and only having toast as my 'bread thing' my carbs are the biggest percentage and I have so little protine. Anyone have any suggestions on how to up the protine for someone who doesn't like red meat or pork? I love fish. I was thinking sushi? ....
This loosing weight thing is HARD! I knew it wouldn't be easy. I do look at it like I want to be healthy and happy not so much I want to loose tons of weight. I think that's how I stay on track and don't eat crap. I also love not feeling bloated. But I am tempted by pizza constantly.
What do you guys think of having a 'treat day' where one day a week you splurge and eat what you want? Thoughts?...
I'm so glad there is a thread for this. I think that the 'community support' thing really helps!
Here is my online account if anyone is interested in it. I didn't get to fill in all the dates because i only discovered the website the other day but I've been doing this since jan 6th:

Hey the fitday is really similar to the daily plate they are really good tracking tools. I still have the odd day where i eat what i want as long as you account for it by either saving some calories, thats where exercise is very valuable because you can basicly eat what you want.The only thing i would advise is don't fall into the trap of thinking i can't exercise so i'll keep lowering my calories because your metabolism just dies a death!!! think of it like a furnace you need to keep burning by putting fuel on it!!
Today for example i had
Breakfast
porridge with skimmed milk
cappuccino
Mid morn
apple
Lunch
Food doctor pitta with seeds
chicken slices 100g
laughing cow light cheese
went to gym
had protein shake with skimmed milk in afternoon
Dinner
Chicken breast with noodles and veg (baby sweetcorn etc)
also Fage 2% greek yoghurt with 1tbsp of honey and food doctor multiseed muffin with cashew butter as snacks.
total 1650 kcals /137g of protein /40g fat/ 190g carbs
burnt 700 cals at gym so still have 600 or so to play with,this is an average days diet, and i only go to the gym 2-3 days a week.

Hey everyone! I'm back. I hope everyone had a great holiday!
I just finished eating a bowl of pinhead oats (which I made in the slow cooker overnight a la Alton Brown) yum yum!
I just wanted to check in before I head off to class. *hugs to everyone!* and I will read all of the posts that I missed while I was gone later on tonight.

At this point in time, my perfect week would be 5 days of solid cardio - min 45 minutes each day.
I'm all about the cardio right now.

I had a bad day yesterday too. Both with regards to eating and mentally... I felt really fat and ugly
Also, I ate a ton of chocolate and ice cream. Meh.
Other than that, the week has been pretty good so far. I've been eating decent meals, managed to eat 2-3 fruits per day and I have exercised 3 times: 20 mins rowing on Monday, 30 mins core strength on Wednesday, 40 mins running on Thursday. Also, I walk to and from work every day, which is 45 mins in total, so I get some form of exercise every day. Today I have to work (yuk) but I am planning on going to the gym for more strength training afterwards. We have a really nice free gym for the employees where I work, so that's great.

If anyone knows how to avoid bloating, I would be very happy to know too! I swell up something awful when I ovulate. I guess it has to do with water retention (amongst other things)?
I'm sorry your bf said that... a little unsensitive. I hope you feel better soon.

Me too! I went to the make up trade show and my friend wanted to go to pizza hut. I had a small cheese pizza with tuna and olives and TWO pepsi's! Eeeek! And earlier we went to M&S and had a sandwich and grapes/carrots/drink which normally i would avoid as it was full of cals! But don't worry just think of it as your treat day and get back on track this week. You cant beat yourself up. Like everyone says. You will only crave stuff if ocassonally you don't have it. I figured walking around London would burn of a few cals right? I think everyone has days like this. I like to keep a journal as well as a food log on that website i keep going on about because you can log your mood for the day and what activities/foods you do/have. I find if you do slip up it's usually for a reason that you want to eat for comfort or just have some chocolate! Don't worry! Just try again today
