Food diary - care to join me?

[wastingmyeducation]

In the past I've done various diets, tried all sorts really, but I haven't stuck with anything for more than a couple of weeks in a long time.

I am bored of diets!

I am going to keep a food diary here. Hopefully it will help me see where I am going wrong, and by holding up a mirror to my eating habits, publicly, I will start to eat less/better.

I will be starting tomorrow, but thought I'd give you a heads up if you'd like to join me.

Back from swim.

11am - apple, banana and a smoothie

Lunch will be a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich (BB)and a muller light yoghurt.Low cal cup a soup

Drinking loads of water too

(runs to loo yet again )

Don't think you're being a piggy seashells, but what are your portion sizes like because I think that's where I fall down. If we have oven chips I eat my small portion and then finish 3 children's portions too

Had lentil and veg soup with 2 small wholemeal rolls, 1/2 a low fat yoghurt and grapesplus a diet coke.

10 am finished my floral gums - only the 1/4 packet left from last night

12.15 sushi and herb tea

3.45 a banana and handful of nuts . herb tea

oh yes and piece of victoria sandwich, but it was very small honestly!

can I join?
b'fast: 2 slices seed bread with butter.
lunch: chicken salad wrap, flapjack.
supper: will be aubergine pilaf, green salad.
Was doing really well yesterday till late evening when I demolished half a bar of G&B

Don't mention G&B

G&B is medicinal surely?!

1 small white chocolate bear and a cup of tea at SILs about 4pm.
Jam sandwich when we got in.
Pasta in meditterranean vegetable sauce and custard.

And I've just had a bowl of cereal for supper as still hungry.

Think I may have tried to cut portion size too radically, as I've been hungry and headachey all day, and ended up grabbling stupid snacks.

Hi again,
sausages,sweet potato, spinach salad, low fat yoghurt
grapes
2 decaff coffees

Thinking about everything in the fridge as I'm in danger time now!

Had 2 banans muffins at the children's tea time. Danger point for me I am afraid as we don't normally eat our meal until hubby gets home and children are in bed

Had chicken, jacket potatoe and veg for dinner. No dessert and lots of water.

Sounds like everyone is doing well, keep it up

Dinner last night: 2 sausages, new potatoes and carrots.

evening : 1/2 bag liquorice allsorts.

Need to think about breakfast now.

Luckylady I have to admit I did rather more than just a few oven chips, but filling myself up at home meant that I didn't over eat on fried foods at work, though I didn't just have a mini fillet burger, I had a chicken wrap with loads of salad instead.

Hi all,
I had 2 banana sandwiches at bed time last night which was a bit odd of me!

Gone off the rails today and eaten random crap - had a coil fitted and felt sorry for myself. Emotional eating is a big one for me - very happy, excited, in pain, sad - my fridge seems to be the default setting for all of these.
So if I can remember-
2 slices wm toast, milk,coffee
muesli, banana, raisins, yoghurt
cheese chunk
biscuit
soup and bread and strawberries
3 scones and milk
cheese omlette, chips,salad and peas
icecream

saw on the doctors computer that I am the same weight now as when I was last weighed - when I was 6 mths pregnant with ds1
Must hang onto the fact that I've lost a stone already!

4.30 - half a toasted teacake
6pm- Chilli and rice. Chocolate eclair.

Dinner - Spag bol with lots of veg in sauce and pasta.
Glass of red while watching The Apprentice and small bar of Dairy Milk

Snack of 6 cubes of chocolate yesterday evening
Breakfast: special K , orange juice
