apikalia's Journal, 13 March 2010

Ok, I'll be the first to say it, I have TOTALLY fallen off the diet wagon. Situationally, it hasn't been a good few weeks as far as food goes, but I've been trying at first to make the best of it. Last Sunday my dad took me to breakfast at McDonald's before the Megillah reading and I only had 1 hashbrown instead of 2 and I only had 2 hamantaschen, which was really good of me. Then it was my best friend's birthday and we went out to dinner, where I had pub-style fish and chips. Yeah, I shoulda had a salad. To be honest, this is where the line starts to blur between situation and choices.

Saturday night was Bestie's b-day party and I drank like a week's worth of calories (ok, maybe not that bad, but you get the idea). Woke up the next day, late for work and very hungover. I made a bad choice and decided to get some Wendy's on the way to work (btw, if you've never had a Wendy's breakfast sandwich, consider yourself lucky. They're nasty. The hashbrowns, which I ashamedly ordered 2 of, were pretty decent). I spent the rest of the day hungover and upset due to me being an idiot and pissing off everyone in my house (we've since made up) so I spent lunch having 2 slices of thick-crust pizzeria pizza (grease helps my hangovers) and unfortunatly, I was just soooo pissed off that I broke my one-fast-food-a-month rule and stopped at Taco Bell on the way home for a shrimp taco, a supreme beef gordita and triple layer nachos. Better than it could've been but far worse than it should have been. And as expected, it didn't do a damn thing to make me feel better about the fights.

Monday was poor planning and nerves. I started a new job and grabbed an italian sub and corn chips on the road. Imagine my dismay when I realized the chips had almost as many calories as the sub!

Tuesday, I actually stayed on track.

Wednesday was just carelessness. I grabbed the wrong brand of the same snack, thinking they'd be the same calorie count. WRONG! I also had the most disgusting bag of trail mix I've ever had (challenge me if you like, but sunflower seeds and pine nuts do not belong in trail mix. It's just wrong.)

Thursday I had fully expected to be bad. My roommate and her siblings and I took a road trip to Philly for a concert so there was a lot of rest-stop fast food (once again, breaking the rule) and gas-station snacks. Friday (today) was the return trip, so same applies. And this is kinda where I need to start taking responsibility. Yeah, I coulda gotten a bag of trail mix instead of a cheeseburger, but truth be told, I just wanted that cheeseburger. I was surrounded by skinny girls who have always been able to eat whatever they want and not gain any weight and I just so badly wanted to be like them. I wanted to scarf down a burger and not spend the next 2 days obsessing over it. I just wanted to be like everyone else. And you know what? That burger was really good! Especially after being in a mosh pit for 3 hours, then a car for another 2!

Not counting the night/morning of Bestie's birthday party, where I fostered my clearly growing alcoholic tendencies, I've still managed to burn more calories than I've consumed over the past week (mosh pits are great exercise...with the added sweat release of a sauna!) Still, I need to get back on track. Motivation, please!

you just have to remember that every situation has a choice:) i had trouble staying away from fast food and at work id always go to a nearby gas station and eat snacks then go home and have a few beers with my friends. im not drinking beer anymore, but more importantly i plan every meal ahead of time and make it at home. everyone said that to me but i thought it would take to long and you cant always plan where the day takes you, but for the most part you can. its gotten easier for me every sunday to get groceries ill need for the week and thats it. no extra no over-snacking, what i bought it was i eat. if i o go to a restaurant and know ahead of time where were going, i look up the nutritional info ahead of time and choose the best one. if i dont know i get something small and simple. i just sooo understan where youre coming from. and i hated going out to meet guys or pictures with me smaller friends lol! but i realized thats their life. they didnt make me fat. i did. comparing myself to them wasnt getting me any thinner. feeling bad for myself and obsessing was only going to make me want to eat and put off being happier and healthy. you cant give up and think you wasted a day if you messed up a little, because its only adding to the mistake. i always thought of some magical day my diet would start and i would have some super power discipline. lol no i just ate more. but really everyday is hard and we want things we like its just if were willing to work it off so it can pay off:)
