thehydra's Journal, 05 July 2011

i've never actually used the journal feature on fatsecret, but i figured today might be a good day to start, since i'm trying to actually get serious about eating right (again...).

i spent the past week with a couple of friends of mine who eat pretty much only processed and fatty foods, at least when they're with me, and thus i gained a good six pounds over the course of the week. i'm assuming some of that might have to do with water weight or my upcoming period, but even so, i'm going to err on the conservative side and say that i've gained back to 140 until i can weigh myself on saturday. i've spent too much time beating myself up about my weight and getting back into the same ridiculous binge cycles because of self-loathing, so now i think it's time i really re-evaluate my diet, outlook, and life.

i'm going to try to cut out snacks from my daily meal intake, since they're empty calories which i load up on without even realizing it. until at least saturday, i'd like to be able to go sweets-free (ice cream, candy, etc.) and limit myself to eating only small, balanced meals. i would really like to be down into the 120s by the time i leave for vermont next month, so that i have a little leeway for treats and such while i'm there and so that i can feel decent about my body when i go swimming.

right now, protein, multivitamins and veggies are my main concerns. i would like to try for a serving of fruit and two servings of veggies every day, if i can manage it (or at least one serving of leafy greens and one of legumes-- love chickpeas!!). i also think it's important that i get back into the habit of eating more eggs and lean proteins like fish and chicken, and limit how much dairy and grains i eat per day.

i'm not expecting a full body transformation in a couple of weeks, nor do i think that i am eating COMPLETELY unhealthy. but i do want to do a lot better than i am now, and slim down to a weight that makes me feel comfortable, if not good about myself. i have been yo-yoing all my life, and i would really just like to establish an eating pattern that sticks and can be edited for the different stages of my life and dietary needs.
