So, I just want to cut back on my portions.
I split my lunch today. Half a hamburger steak with squash, beets and kale.
so had that for dinner plus left over chicken and salad so ended up eating more than I should. There are still left overs from 2 nights ago the mushroom alfredo which I thought jeff was going to eat tonight but did not. sigh
I have 2 pork chops talapia, and chicken all thawed and forgot that jeff is fasting wed and thur.
rats, guess I will cook up this food and it will keep in the refrigerator. I can't refreeze it like I thought about.

For me,
vacations are really hard to moderate, yes feeling like we deserve to drink and be happy.
I drank heavily in june while in IN for 2 weeks. I did not drink for 4 days in march this year in florida
when the rest of my family did.
why can't we not drink and be happy?
I want to moderate while we are on a 2 day vacation
to florida in august and then a week in europe in sept/oct then home for
christmas in december for 2 weeks.
Since I am dieting I am not drinking. the scale is slowly moving down.

I almost stopped for a beer after work but instead drank a big glass of sweetened water on the drive home. no room for beer so I just went home. It worked..until i got home and looked in the refrigerator and hubby had beer that I like I was this close to asking him for one of his beers but then I got busy cooking up a new dish that the urge went away.
whew!
Fish stew:
It turned out great and hubby loved it.


Talapia, italian diced tomatoes, thyme, garlic powder, parsley
carrots and onions. It took more time chopping than cooking.
If any one wants the recipe I will post it.


Had it with an avocado and some blueberries. yum!
So it was a great meal, and healthy.
and easy to cook taking only 10 minutes to cook.


I need to find more recipes like this.

edited to add lunch:
I had beef and squash and fruit salad and swiss chard. Everything was healthy, organic and grass fed beef. I eat at sandras health food store.
I just heard of a new place that has plate lunches with organic foods.
I am so excited to try it out.

Got up early today due to restlessness, before 6am.
I was looking forward to sleeping in....sigh
so much for that!
Grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down to peruse the forums.
Unfortunately I sat in some cat throw up....yuck!@
Had to get undressed and spot treat my new nite shirt.
I cleaned myself and the chair.
Put my freshly cleaned uniform on and got ready for work.
My first client of the day is at 10 am.
I am doing a load of laundry, something useful during this extra time not sleeping.
I finally went to the bathroom as that had been a problem for days.
I weighed 174.9 this morning...I know that it is water weight especially since I had some loose stools this morning(sorry if TMI).
The reason that I weigh myself every day is because I hate how I look. I have gained weight everywhere, I can't even see my collar bone. And I have back fat and shoulder fat and rolls under/at my bra line. I look pregnant, hate it. HATE IT!!!!!
I was denied acceptance to the Aspen Clinic (medical weight loss clinic)because I am bipolar and take klonipin. That was disappointing. They counted calories which I found to be deplorable. So now I am just eating healthy and watching portion sizes. and loosing weight slowly.
Not drinking has helped take off a couple of pounds.
I will take it.
On to my 3rd cup of coffee.

It's wonderful that you were able to resist your urges to drink. Distraction is a very good way to deal with those, and it seems like that is what you did. In the past you have done well with substitutions by drinking tea and stevia sodas, too. You have a lot of tools at your disposal

I'm so sorry that you are so unhappy with your weight... your self esteem seems very low right now
I think diets like Weight Watchers have programs that don't involve calorie counting now. If you are interested in trying something new, there are so many diets out there, it may be worth an internet search. I hate to see/hear you so unhappy

Sorry you sat in cat puke!
I usually just step in it.

Came home early and sat in my car contemplated going to fat pats for a couple of beers. hubby came out. So I went in. cleaned up some more cat puke on the carpet we have a sick kitty.She has thrown up a lot today. put the food up so she can't eat it.Told hubby that I was going to go get a beer. and he frowned because he is doing a 2 day fast again.so I looked up how fattening the beers are....280 calories for 2- 10oz beers. I have talked myself out of going.
There are left overs for me to eat from the other night, mushroom alfredo. I will eat that and throw the rest away.
So I dodged a bullet.
whew!

coming here has helped me be accountable.
