I have to be accountable for my actions, yet I can't seem to find the motivation. I'm starting this food journal. If anyone wants to participate, simply write down what you ate today. Every time you eat, come back to your post and edit it so that your entire day stays in your post. Maybe it's a stupid idea, but heck, I'm desperate.

"i Am Coming Down With A Cold Was Stomach Sick So I Just Fed My Face All Day!

oh crap - this post is freaking me out - am I supposed to be counting calories/protein/carbs etc? No wonder my weight is going off so slowly....

I have been pac-woman today...

Breakfast: smoothie = 2 scoops protein powder + a banana + some blueberries + actimel yogurt + water....

Lunch: two pieces of chicken in breadcrumbs (2" long) + litre of water (2 pints)

Dinner: tuna salad + 4 low fat crispbreads (15cals each - I know that much!)

Last hour and a half hoover snacking: half a brownie, low fat cherry yogurt, low fat chocolate mousse + mug of coffee with milk + three plastic cheese slices aaarrrggghhh

my band hurts....

Dear Dubliner

Don't worry it is freaking me out too. I can't bear to count calories etc. If I could do that I wouldn't have needed the band. I thought this site might offer some new good food ideas but I am not finding them yet!
