How I was eating 3000+ calories a day.

I ate alot today, more than I have in a good long while. I think it is the "in my head I am taking a break thing" I was pretty concious of it. I had some really bad pasta and a foot long subway sandwich (which I haven't had in months since I started IE). I was aware I was doing it and managed to pick thigs that weren't that horrible. I am totaled it to about 2300 calories today. I think I average about 1500 to 1700 so that is alot. I kinda feel like I ate all the stuff I had been craving. Next week I think we're going to limit my "break day" to just my meal at work and one meal on saturday and not the whole day. I also know how I was eating 3000+ calories a day. I had a muffin for breakfast. Normally it would have been potatoes, sausage, toast and so on, and then lunch and then a big dinner. I would say all of those are about 1000+ calories each.

The othing thing is I feel like I really don't want anything else for the rest of the night.

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal. I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused. If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going. The worse thing you can do is stop trying. Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee. I ended up having this weird sugar headache. I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough. After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues. It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Random Thoughts

So Part of my IE is staying under 2000 calories. usually I do this without thinking about it..I think it is a hold over from my dieting days and it works, so I keep it around. So anyway. It occured to me, that there are people in countries who are so called "less advanced" than the US and they are thinner and healthier than us and they have no idea what a calorie is, how many carbs they are eating or any of other many measurements we have around. I was also thinking that there was a time in this country when people had no idea what a calories was and there didn't seem to be an obesity epidemic until we got all educated....
