Weight Change Last Week
- 3.5 pounds / -1.6kg

Activities
None

Last week went very well, not in term of pounds lost but in term of unhealthy habits such as binging and late night eating. I’m feeling very confidence right now that I’ll do well this week too. As far as the exercise goes I’m going to have to wait. If there’s nothing wrong don’t fix it, right?

My Third Day

Posted on July 10, 2009 11:11 am Comments here (4) ♥

I went to bed late and hungry yesterday so I woke up this morning with a headache. Maybe it was a withdrawal symptom from all the carbs I used to eat late at night. So my mood lifting food today were noodle soup, ice cream and a small McD’s French fries. I didn’t eat much and it did help me to feel better. I do really medicate myself with food! In this case it would probably be better if I took a pill for the headache.

Now that I see the pictures, it’s one too many mid meals.

The Second Day

Posted on July 9, 2009 1:54 pm Comments Off

Yesterday went great, no binging. This morning when I woke up I didn’t feel bloated, hurray! I’m feeling major discomfort right now, unsure if I’m hungry right now or what. But probably not hungry otherwise I wouldn’t ask myself that So earlier this evening I ate some ice cream to combat the feelings. It didn’t help and I guess it’s going to bed that would actually help.

My lunch was omelet, vegetables and jasmine rice. Dinner: Baltic herrings, egg, caviar with mashed potatoes.

Starting Over

Hey guys!
This week I’m back on track again. I’ve been dealing with cravings and binge eating and I think it’s because I don’t get enough protein or fat. I’m going to give up trying to be vegetarian for a while and go back to normal eating again. I’m going to take one thing at a time. First I need to deal with my weight loss and binge eating issue.

Today at lunch I had fish stew with potatoes and the dinner was pasta with prosciutto and fruit salad. I also had half a scoop of cappuccino ice cream. I think it’s important to feed the mind as well. For now I just want to monitor my progress without restricting and doing too much. Therefore I haven’t planned any exercise in my schedule either.

This week lesson: taste more, eat less. There are no taste buds in the stomach, so why do I hurry to swallow the food? I’m going to enjoy every bite I take without being afraid of getting fat.

YIKES! I was super busy last week and I let the whole thing slip. I ignored workouts and ate a lot and late in the evenings. But I’ll get back in the game this week.

I’ve been completely neglecting other areas of my life as well. I’m in need of a beauty makeover and fresh healthy food! My skin, my hair…one word, DULL!

The financial part is a mess. I let it slip too. But I’m taking control over this and would like to learn more about stocks.

Got to grab a cup of green tea to still my cravings, see ya! =)

Lots of Love,
Hsg

Love Yourself and You’ll Lose Weight

Posted on June 10, 2009 11:29 am Comments here (3) ♥

I’m not going to talk about loving your body, but love yourself when you’re doing “wrong” things such as indulging food too much or skipping the exercise when you know it’s important for your total wellness.

I would say I love myself when reaching for food I love, and I’m allowing myself to enjoy it too, but also love myself enough not to eat too much of it. If I ate too much I remind myself I made that choice and forgave myself. And the day I miss exercise I don’t beat myself up for it.

Loving yourself helps you to stay positive so that weight loss process is more “enjoyable”. Now I’ve more energy than ever to follow through my goal. Last year I was struggling with exercises and eating healthy. It was a very frustration year, and I beat myself up for nothing. But thanks to all my angels (readers) who helped me to get through the year.

Another thing is to believe in yourself. I caught myself for not doing that. I know I’ve ability to do it, but my behavior doesn’t reflect it. When I step on the scale, and I know I ate too much the night before, automatically I would be thinking “I’m gaining weight”. Now I tell a different story to myself “I’m losing weight.” If I gain, whatever, I don’t have to dig up reasons for why the number is up. From the book, The Physicist’s Guide To Weight Loss, author Mark Buesing wrote

Everyday you lose weight is the day you didn’t gain weight.

What can be truer?

Laugh is healthy too. Watch comedian, Louis CK talk about being fat, chaos and habits. Warning! Explicit language and a lot of cursing!

Hey ladies and gents! How was your week? It’s been a while since I checked my mail…procrastination, I know, got to be better at that. I want to say thank you for all the supportive mails I got, appreciate that very much! So sorry I haven’t written back to you guys. I’ve to organize my mailbox better.

My week was awesome; so much positive is happening! My monthly period symptom is alleviated, less pains and cramps. My weight is usually up more than a pound during my T.O.M week but not this time. Now I don’t have to spend several weeks trying to “undo last week”. I’m moving forward and let’s see if I can do much better than last month.

Cravings were hitting hard last week. I’d a few stray days of eating too much food, but my skinny me managed to keep the weight in check. I also went to a coffee shop. Yeah I know, I did tell you that I wouldn’t, but I was talking about cappuccino. But I chose to eat half of the sandwich plus I ordered a healthy fruity green tea.

I’ve been doing great for many weeks in the row now, I hope it’ll continue so this week too.

Becoming Conscious Of The Choices

I ate dinner at McD’s for 3 straight days now, but in term of the scale no damage was done. On contrary my weight has been dropping down. I hit a new low today. It could be the effect of green tea. It’s too early to tell. I was kind of feeling guilty for eating fast food too often, but something happened that made me think differently. I made peace and accepted that I had chosen to eat fast food. I was being conscious over my choice rather than feeling regretful later for what I ate. Since I’m being conscious about it I was able to control how much food I can eat next time. No more conflicted feelings!

What’s inside the filo parcels? It’s olives, sun dried tomatoes, and feta cheese. Yum! Yum
