food and exercise 25/08/04

B.f - 1/2 cup vive soy
1/2 cup 1% milk
1 banana

Lunch (on the go, from druxy's)
Egg Salad Sandwich
- 1 ice cream scoop (1/2 cup) egg salad mix
- 2 pc rye bread
- green pepper (although I also ordered cucumbers and tomato but
the lady didn't listen)
Fruit Salad (mainly watermelon, cantelope and honeydew)

Dinner - (was mad at myself for several reasons)
1/2 cup kidney beans
1 small dinner roll w/margarine

Once again, here is where I went crazy.

1 bowl lucky charms (was too sweet, upset stomach a little)
1 dinner roll with jam
1 glass of iced tea (tried to calm myself down but didn't find it relaxing)

Total calories for t he day was probably 1800 calories.

I did have a "connection" though. I realized that when I'm in a bad mood, I
want bad food. It's almost like I feel bad inside so to soothe myself I
fill myself with bad things. Perhaps that's because it's what I feel I
deserve? I can say that last night I wanted none of the junk. I even went
to the variety store but said no to ice cream, chips, chocolate, pop and
cookies. I at least recognized that I didn't want any of it. So last night
I filled myself up on actual food. It's a step in the right direction at
least.

Cplus, that's a big mental breakthrough. It's hard to deal with
problems that you haven't yet identified. Now that you realize that you
are turning to food to lift your mood, you can come up strategies to
deal with it.

I'm hoping I'm also trying to ween myself off celexa and I think that
may also be affecting my mood. I wouldn't say I'm depressed but I feel
drained.
