Tomorrow’s Food Intake Wednesday, May 30 2007

BREAKFAST – 200g low fat yoghurt, apple

LUNCH – chicken sandwich – 100g chicken, 50g cheese with cabbage and a tomato.

DINNER – beef dish with 100g beef and veggies with a soy sauce.

 The CSIRO Diet is not that big on snacks and I am used to having them so it will be a test tomorrow. They say 5 or 6 small meals are best but I find it makes me think about food more than I should so just eating 3 times might reduce the food thoughts.

CSIRO diet books Monday, May 21 2007 

I am going to be reading the CSIRO diet books later this week when I get my hands on a copy of them! If I can find a way to give them a go I will. Apparently they are high in protein and dairy and I love meat and dairy! I also am not addicted to bread or potatoes, i will be able to limit these quite easily so I guess the diet is worth a go! My only concern will be the expense. I have ordered a hindquarter of beef which will be delivered this Thursday and I am going shopping on Saturday so I will be able to shop for ingredients. I might make meals and freeze them if the recipes can be frozen!

 I am feeling quite full at the moment, I had steak with cheese and bread for dinner and now I don’t feel like eating at all but I am not stuffed, you know what I mean? I have had about 1300 calories today. The weight I lose over the next couple of days will determine my weight loss for the week, as this morning I was about the same weight as last Wednesday which is my official weigh in day.

Calorie Counting and Intuitive Eating Saturday, May 19 2007 

At the moment I am using the Calorieking software to work out what I am going to eat plus trying to get a new attitude to food using intuitive eating concepts. This is where you listen to your body and only eat when you are hungry then just eat enough to be satisified but not full. I have a book called intuitive eating on reserve from the library. I should be able to get that next week… in the meantime I have a book called Diet No More that I got from a huge secondhand book sale. I really related to it, it described some of my thought patterns that I go through. No food is good or bad, just eat what will satisfy. It also says to throw away the scale but I can’t bring myself to do that. I still get weighed every day.

 I have given up Curves. I wasn’t enjoying it. Instead I am trying to walk to town a lot more…

Trying to lose weight before the weigh-in tomorrow Wednesday, May 9 2007 

I have tried really hard today, I have to lose 900 grams before tomorrows weigh-in. I have been to Curves and I have cut my calories. I’ll see what the scale says tomorrow!
