Breakfast - 100g container source yogurt
1/2 cup kellogs viva soy 1/2 cup 1% milk 3 strawberries Lunch (part of sleepover at friends house) 2 cups homemade (authentic Italian... yummy) pasta and sauce (too much, felt very full) 1 3oz meatball 1 cup salad - cucumbers, lettuce w/canola oil and balsamic vinegar Dinner (still at sleepover, ordered in, planned) 1 California breaded chicken sandwich (1/2 at 6pm, second half at 8pm) 1 slice watermelon snack ( while watching movie, partly to keep awake) 3 cups light microwave popcorn Water - Many glasses, lost count Exercise.. none. GRRR I'm quickly realizing where I still need to evaluate and the biggest place seems to be when eating with other people who don't share my lifestyle. I need to learn to be stronger and listen to myself. I also need to be vigilant in keeping portions as that's how I seem to manage my overeating. The spaghetti was actually a fault in that strategy. I said two forkfuls thinking that would be about 1 cup. It ended up being more like 2 and even though I could have stopped after eating only half I felt that I would be wasting food she had spent all morning cooking. Lessons learned and that's what counts I guess. Being aware of it at least makes it less likely to happen again. -- Cp 267/229/150 "You don't want to lose what you've worked for" |

What's important is that, having realized you probably overate the spaghetti lunch, you didn't say to yourself, "Well, what the heck, I've blown it anyway!" and go on to eat a bunch of chips and sweets and stuff the rest of the day. And it was a good learning experience, as you say. Chris 262/141/ (145-150) |

I was the one who was holding out and actually told my friend to make her granddaughter take them home when she left. I was also the one who suggested the light popcorn when they were in the mood for a snack during the movie. I don't feel I ate badly, I just feel I ate too much. I forgot to add that the total calorie count that day was 1935. |

You realized you ate a bit too much at lunch, and you compensated for it later, even turning down treats that were offered. Chris 262/141/ (145-150) |
