Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

I see that many people tell how many oz of meat you eat. Do you REALLY weigh your food or are you giving "guestimations"?

I have started working 10 hour days and discovered that i am a "grazer/snacker'----100 calorie packs are NOT my friend....Chocolate covered almonds--NOT my friend!!!

I went today and bought trail mix and yoguart covered almonds....Don't know how healthy that is--but at least it's fiber!!!

today--

b-choc pb Protein shake

l-camplbell's cup o chili

s-snack cherrios, 2 raspberries, 1/2 kit kat

d-left over chinese food (about 3 tbspoons)

big baby - outside of going out to eat, i do measure/weigh out my food...if i don't i WILL eat more, even when i don't need it.

since your days are busier - might need to plan out your meals; make in advance, if i don't start the day with a good idea of what my meals will be, the tendency to make a poor choice in food is likely in my future.

yesterday -

b- 1/2c kashi oat w/2%milke with half banana

l- 2oz grilled chicken

d- 3 coconut shrimp, glass of chardonay

s- SB chocolate soy nuts

Big Baby, I agree totally with Luluc. I weigh my food as well, because I believe it's important to (1) keep my portion sizes consistent, (2) ensure I get enough Protein in my day, and (3) not overstretch my pouch with too much food, because my eyes are ALWAYS bigger than my stomach! :thumbup:

I also strongly believe in a "food plan" - I pack my lunch box every day (sometimes even on the weekends) with my planned meals, and stick to it. More often than not, I don't even eat everything in my lunch box. ("Lunch Box" is a bit of a misnomer, since it includes my Breakfast and sometimes my dinner also.)

It's a different lifestyle, requiring many changes to personal habits and strategies. But it's worth it!

Hugs,

Donna

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
