You are right about the WOT interpretation. And I would agree about the assessment of your mother's sabotaging you. If you can just get through the next 2 years together, things will get much better for you after that.
Take Care and feel your worth H_O_P.....
not sure if i needed it, but had 180 cal worth of tofu one hour before bed.
total cal: 1570. still in the 1500s which is good.
total calories: 1390 - great.
today was a whole lot better. i do like schedule, it helps me stay on track, so i'm glad i didn't have off today!
breakfast: an egg on a hamburger bun. 210
snack: tea w. apple: 110
lunch: sugary but good smoothie: 250??
snack: cookies...later a 1/2 cup wheatgrass (a bit much!) 220
snack before bike ride: kombucha 60
dinner: salad w. microwavable lasagna about 400 (but i may just have salad, tofu instead.) and yogurt w. sugar free jelly. but, i am looking to eat a lot less artificial sugars bc they seem to give me acne! so, i won't be buying any new sugar free stuff. i even put real sugar in my tea today!

i have weight to lose and i want to lose it. i have NO restrictions on types of foods. meaning, anything is really permitted. i CAN have white foods. and all that. but, i MUST start COUNTING calories and CARING. this is pathetic. i am 26 and the 20s are usually the best times and easiest to look good. not sure what i'm waiting for. but of course, i'm never giving up. lots of good exercise this weekend - haha, and eating.
total calories on sunday: 2200
sunday: not much better. breakfast: 350
lunch: all kinds of things - half healthy, half not. 1055.
snack: 2 sugar cookies
dinner: lean cuisine flatbread, one red pepper, some lettuce

saturday night:
pigged out at the wedding. it started off innocent and then i guess the alcohol helped me make some bad decisions. this wedding was FANCY. the cocktail hour had excellent food...and then dinner choices included filet mignon and salmon among other GREAT foods. dessert was everything and anything. included cheesecake balls on lollipop sticks. don't ask.
definitely around 4000 calories, at least.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
cheers to the weekend. cheers to a great friend getting married today. cheers to getting my hair straightened so it comes out well and i don't have to stress at all over that. cheers to wearing a new dress (lol, even though i don't love it!?). cheers to the weather being awesome. cheers to my saxophone being sold on ebay so i can ship it out. cheers to going for a walk this morning, since the wedding starts in the evening at 7pm. cheers to not having to worry about money like some people do. cheers to belonging to a gym. cheers to having a car. cheers.
just gotta think positive. this is what makes people happy.
going to do the things i listed above today.
breakfast: 3 ounces wheatgrass which will help my body digest and eliminate some stuff! then, a smoothie with lots of fiber, banana, chocolate protein. 340
snack: snapple 120
lunch: probably dunkin donuts flatbread with coffee 340
snack: avocado mixed into greek yogurt, 2 bran crackers. 225
total so far: 1025 fine.
dinner: wedding (and i will probably have around 2 drinks there as well - not a day to think about LOW LOW LOW calories!)
exercise: 6 mile walk. no yoga because it can dehydrate which i probably already am and i don't want to get sick at the wedding.
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
Good Monday to you!
yesterday was sickening. today was crappy.
today: nothing until 10am. fruit/tea. 120 or so.
lunch: sugary, kashi bar and smoothie (bad choices.)
after work: some healthy but big roll, seaweed salad, tofu burger. prob around 1100 for this stuff. but then i had some sugary stuff afterwards which ruined what could have been an ok day.
prob around 4000 today.
tomorrow i have a wedding, haha, cross my fingers i fit into my dress...
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
i did binge. badly. no idea how much i ate. but it can EASILY be around 6,000.
something inside me clicked in a bad way and the binge just went off tonight and when i got home, after the dinner, i did eat more (desserts - pure sugar)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
today was a day of fast but i didn't fast. i went to work and ate pretty normally. it's ok. every jew observes in their own way.
550 cal breakfast. kinda big, but good.
400 cal lunch.
350 cal snack
cal. so far: 1300. alright.
dinner: out at a friend of family's house to observe the holiday. i refuse to come back really late bc i have to study for a test. (i will take my own car if i have to...) and i will eat moderately well. i have enough calories to still have something good to eat, right?
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
kinda a celebratory and home cooked and holiday meal..was prob around a "conservative" as grumpy would say...probably 1000:
soup with veggies and matza (bread) ball, chicken and potato (little bit), moderate piece of strawberry rhubarb pie (decadent and rich)
so today was around 2200 ok. bc no binge and enjoyed a nice dinner. tomorrow will be more of the same i think. oh well. gotta enjoy meals/days like this.
i only biked, had to come home for dinner!
trying to eat better. taking vitamin C and E because a goal of mine is to improve my skin and hair. especially my face since it's bad now. comes and goes with hormones. but, when you eat a lot (like overexcessive amount) of sugar it is proven that some of the vitamins you need are not absorbed well. and i KNOW this is what happened with me. because i ate TERRIBLY and my face is a WRECK. hopefully it'll be mostly better in a week and next time when hormones strike it won't be NEAR as bad! :)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
pretty busy day today. lol, so i got my monthly visitor today (maybe another reason for all the anger in my entries lately) and i wasn't ready. knew it was coming, didn't realize it was sooo close. i was wearing white pants (my uniform!!) so it was a bit awkward. luckily nothing too bad. lol.
anyways, food was good.
300 breakfast (egg on bran cracker, fiber one cup of it plus cup almond milk)
70 calorie apple snack
400 calorie beans, salad, tofu lunch (trying to get MORE veggies in before i leave work!)
350 calorie dunkin donuts snack. lol. sandwich and coffee.
so far: 1120. i would like to do well today.
dinner with family tonight. i will make sure i eat moderately!
exercise: bike, elliptical, WEIGHTS. i've layed off of weights for about a week! oops. didn't go to gym and was too lazy to do them at home! must do abs too. tonight is the start of a jewish holiday. but i will be observing it by still going to school tomorrow since i have a test and wouldn't be attending temple anyway. so busy! i cannot wait till sunday. the wedding will be over and i will probably sleep a lot! lots of things going on this year. once again, it's better that way!
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
i had a similar day to you. no binging and enjoyed a nice dinner, so calories were on the high side, but not bad. xoxoxo. btw, try to enjoy the wedding instead of looking fwd to it being over. :)
Glad to hear that your day was good and you consider it to be o.k. to eat as you did... And NOT binge.... Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
today was STRANGE. i went to bed at a decent time but throughout the morning at clinical in the hospital i was SWEATING profusely. like i might have had a fever. all morning, sweating. i felt gross! but it went away by afternoon, thankfully!
no exercise as i did errands after work: i found a dress that i'm not loving, but am happy i found it and don't have to worry about that again before a wedding i have on saturday. i did forget my coupon though, so i will have to go back - they put it on hold. i hope i still have my coupon! haha, i'm always scatterbrained with this kinda stuff...
i also got a new tube for my bike. i was going to put it away till spring but i've seen so many people riding that i decided to get it done. seven dollars...but i gave him a 3 dollar tip because he's that fast and that good. great service. that's when you should tip. when they give you a really decent price and do everything nice!
breakfast was a bit large, maybe that's what caused me to sweat. lots of peanut butter. but not horrible good fats. tofu. avocado, bran crackers. that's about it. 750
snack: NONE. and i was alright. just hungry right before lunch!
lunch: tofu, salad, beans, (too much cauliflower also and boy was that i bad idea....haha) light dressing: 400
snack: green drink, bar: 300
snack: apple, 2 ounces wheatgrass (i'm really trying to help my skin)100
dinner: 2 eggs, 1 big red pepper. 230
dessert: greek yogurt, cinnamon, 3-4 tablespoons sf jelly...3 chocolates...and i didn't binge after that which is great. 350.
after dessert: tea.
total calories: 2130. fine. it's not above 2200. i may have burned less than what i ate. but it's not a binge and i was on my feet most of the day today. tomorrow i will be sitting more, so i will try to eat accordingly. but, most importantly, no binging. that's the habit i need to break first and foremost.
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
That is what I like to read from you... You know what you need to do and are working on it constantly, not giving up.... That says something!
trying to remember what i ate today...feeling incredibly gross all day from everything that went on last night (not involving food for once). my face is all broken out. really bad. i am exhausted.
breakfast: 2 eggs, avocado, bran crackers, banana, 420
snack: apple, two of my friend's almonds: 100
lunch: salad, bean salads, tofu: 400
snack: green drink and luna bar: 250
snack 2: tofu and some bran crackers: 140
dinner: two italian peppers, avocado, egg, string beans with salt. 250
dessert: greek yogurt, sf jelly, cinnamon: 120
short two mile walk today, really tired out.
total calories: 1680. VERY good. i will focus only on eating healthy for awhile. not on dropping calories very low. weight should come off after awhile. no need to push it.
