For giggles.

I am always telling people that I can tell you what I ate on this day for the last four or five years. So today, I decided to go through my Fitday and actually see what I ate on May 6th in my past.

Let's start with today:

I love soup, sadly most of it has too much sodium for me with my high blood pressure.

I do not believe in NO X Y AND Z FOR SIX MONTHS at all. I do not deprive myself of something if I really want it. I do try to make healthier versions if possible, but not always. I eat pizza on Fridays. I had ice cream cake last Saturday. You can see in my entry that I am all over the place with homemade food and take out food and alcohol. I do my best. I think that is the hardest thing to get over is the perfectionism thing. I try to eat 1200/1300 calories, 75-80 grams of protein and at least 20 grams of fiber every day. Sometimes I do it perfectly, sometimes I don't.

I used to sit and work out my entire menu for the week on Sunday nights. But then if anything came up last minute or I forgot my lunch or whatever, I would get panic stricken. I would have to eat something else other than "my plan". That usually triggered a binge because once I was OFF PLAN, I was OFF PLAN, FUCK YEAH. So, I had to stop over-planning things and just do my best. I know the basics of what I need to eat each day. I just try and twek it each morning.

I think this is way too much information. LOL. ;)

I am at a stage of 'write down what i ate that day' and 'think about what i want to eat tomorrow' and then trying to stick to it.

A major part of food for me is just thinking about whether or not I am hungry, and then if I'm not, whether I want to actually eat something I am considering eating. If I'm totally salivating over it I'll do it but 99% of the time I am not, and when I do eat it, then I just feel silly.
