Food Today
Here is me after the 24 hour binge/purge...putting on a happy face and trying to find some humor.
Today I've had:
breakfast: lite english muffin w/ egg whites and salsa, grapes and watermelon
lunch: two slices 40 cal whole wheat bread w/ one slice fat free cheese and a soy patty, green beans, one oreo (was terrified because it's a fear food, a cupcake isn't, go figure)
and for dinner planning a stir fry of tofu, broccoli, cauliflower, onions and a bit of olive oil
Still need more snacks, tonight I will be eating a cupcake (I get one totally crappy treat a day), a cut up cucumber and tomatoes and a sugar free pudding.
Strangely, I feel okay about everything except the damn oreo. It is part of my goal to not restrict ANY foods. I wanted an oreo so instead of having three, I had one. In my mind I am already having a cupcake so having another full sugar treat is a NO NO. But I have to remind myself I am not out to lose weight, only maintain it (and if I gain a few of the weight I lost, that's ok too.) I am lucky and come from a family with high metabolism. I ate twice this amount last summer and still wasn't overweight (felt sluggish and shitty though.)
Any thoughts? Love you all!
P.S. You should all be jealous of the cupcake, my grandma makes them. They are chocolate with chocolate chips and creamy vanilla icing, YUM!
P.S. My treat last night (after a dinner of plain raw veggies and a plain baked potato w/ tbsp sour cream) was splitting Italian Cream Cake with my dad. Buttermilk cake with walnuts and cream cheese icing dusted with coconut. YUM YUM YUM.

making me hungry lol! you are doing well huni! keep it up!
I think you are on the right track. Most of what you are eating is healthy and I think you can afford one treat a day as long as you are getting the veggies and fruit in.
We all have slipups so don\'t beat yourself up about it!
I know what you mean about that damn oreo cookie!!!
When we eat something that we think that we shouldn\'t, for whatever reason, we tend to be a little hard on ourselves for doing it.
But you stuck with having just one, so be really proud of yourself for that!!!!
Hahahaha!!! That\'s pretty cool that a cupcake is okay by you!! And it\'s a good thing!!! I\'m glad that you can make treats part of your diet!!!
Your picture looks beautiful!!! You look \'just right\', to me!!!
I hope the binge/purge stays at bay and that you are satisfied with your diet and that you make sure you\'re getting everything you need, nutrition-wise!!!!
I also hope you\'re enjoying life these days and doing well!!!!
