lost a couple pounds but now at a standstill again
 
well, i am not dieting but the 2 weeks after vacation my appetite went down suddenly. i lost almost 5 lbs... they sort of just disappeared. now it is looking like it was more 3-5 depending on the day, and i haven't lost any more even though my appetite did not come back up.

i am trying to be careful with food but it is difficult since i don't get to pick and choose much. my father has precipitated a change in the types of food we have and frequency. foods that normally we rarely ate. and that are very non-dietetic but that i like a lot. that sucks because then i tend to comfort eat off that food.

otherwise, i eat eggs a lot these days. plain or soft scrambled no butter. it is one of my comfort foods that give me a wholesome sense. yesterday, i made them plain (sunny side but covered so the top white cooks). pan oiled with olive oil/paper towel. then i put salt, garlic powder and lots of cayenne pepper on them and ate with one pc of dry wheat toast.

i am trying hard to get my greens even when i don't want them. i am going through an aversion to salads etc strangely.

well we'll see. way i've been past couple days i might even lose MORE appetite. that will help... even if i do comfort eat a little.

Dear Waves,


3 to 5 pounds down is good.
I don't think we are required to eat greens. Eat other veggies for now.


What's going on with the loss of appetite? Sometimes that is an ok sign. I'm guessing it is not a good sign. Perhaps related to mood? Something else?

Im the same !!!!!! :mad: no changes in my stupid weigh... :mad:

I bet it is the fact that Im sitting on my chair all the f*****ing day at the lab reading and correcting my papers !!!! :mad:

I would love to dance, but all my body hurts and I dont have a good nice place to dance... argh.

Sometimes I miss the days when I was anorexic... :o :rolleyes:

thanks guys. well this morning i dug up some prosciutto and had that with two sesame wasa crackers. after pulling the fat off of it of course. my parents always say that is "noble fat" and i tell them hogwash, you can have my part of that "nobility" too if you want.

i may still have eggs later. i'm like an eggdict now. ok, so, that was supposed to be a pun on addict but instead, it reminded me of eggs benedict... Oh! how LONG it's been since i've had those! :Bawling: i looooove those. :( (talk about diet :rolleyes:.)

Blue,
i have been normal weight most of my life except one year when i had a bad depression and then started cycling worse and worse... i lost more and more weight until i was actually skinny and you could see my bones. so in that sense, i know what you mean. i miss that i could wear *anything* and it looked good. sigh. of course seeing ones bones in the mirror is not ideal. :rolleyes: i am sorry that you suffered with anorexia though. that is a toughie - i am glad you recovered. :hug:

Hi,

1. >> The restaurant Sweet Tomatoes salad for lunch with my girlfriend. It was not really as low calorie as it would be if I made salad at home but we enjoyed being together.


2. >> purple grapes, nuts, and a peanut butter and apricot preserve sandwich on Gluten Free bread.

See you tomorrow.

What kind of gluten free bread do you like? and what is it made of?
I went to the gym for the first time in ages, did cardio for a while then some weights and took a shower there nice hot water as long as I wanted, I love showering at the gym! they supply towels and I washed my face with their soap...and exfoliated my face which layers of dead skin just rolled off. my face looked so smooth after that. I was careful to just used my fingertips. Had been wanting to do that but was afraid it might irritate my face.
I am thinking about dieting again.

I'm not exactly dieting. Just trying to make sure I eat smart and healthy
for my diabetis.

I seem to be back on the maybe losing some weight. I bought a new scales.
And my goal is to go down some more. I should probably diet in some way
to do that. But diets have never worked for me.

So I'm going to keep a eye on what my weight is. And see if I can
just lose some by eating healthy, and watching my sweets.

I may have already lost another 3 lbs. Which is great for not trying.
