    Default Can I start....

    a food journal type thing here?
    I've seen other do it, and honestly, found it a bit annoying, like this isnt really the place to do it.
    I thought of making one on a website specifically for that purpose, but it wouldnt work for me. I need it where peopel know me...so I can shame myself into doing things right. I wont feel ashamed if I dont know the people reading it!

    I keep trying to do a juice fast, and I keep failing. It's frustrating, how bad my will power is.
    I love my juice, I drink a glass every morning. And every mornign I try to start a new fast with no luck. But the evening its pizza again.
    Not only am I getting fatter on my ass, but I feel like crap!

    Yesterday I had kraft mac n cheese, and Dominos pizza. A whole order of cheesy breadsticks, and 4 slices of pizza. That's all I had all day.That's a lot of fat to consume in one day! Whats worse...nothign healthy in my whole day, except for my glass of juice in the AM. I never feel hungry. I alwyas feel full, or bloated. I have to consiously suck in my stomach, because it is never flat on its own. I worked so hard at the gym last year,m got this amazing body, then gave it all up.

    Ive been makign other positive changes in my life, and now I need to do this. Eat healthier, get the body I want back, stop smoking, quit biting my nails. Thoes all are the things I want to acomplish with my body this year.

    So maybe if I could post what I ate every day, to peopel who know me....it would help keep me on track.

    Today wasnt so bad so far, I had a bowl of total and my glass of juice. But the biggest problem is when my boyfriend is around. I have to cook dinner for him, and I eat with him, and it all goes to hell.

    Anyway, my goals are simple. I want to do a 2 day juice fast, followed by better eating habits. I want to do the fast just to prove I can, and cause it will make me feel stronger abtou myself, showing I can do it, and I know I will feel healthier after.
    After that, I just want to eat better, namely, less pizza. I woudl like to limit my pizza to only 2 days a week instead of 7, and eat less. I usualyl eat 4 slices of pizza, with cheesy breadsticks every day! Im out of control with this pizza addiction.
    I dont want ot lose weight really, just eat better, hot the gym a little. The few lbs I want to lose will naturally come off, but that isnt really my goal...I only woudl like to lose maybe 3 lbs, but I really want to tone up.

    So is it a stupid idea to start posting what I eat? Ive tried writing it down...but that dont work either, I need to be help accountable by other people.....and my boyfriend...well, I seem to resent him when he tried to help me. Its so stupid. I tell him I want to go to the gym, he tells me to go to the gym, and I say what? Am I getting fat? Its rediculous that I woudl act that way.

    You shouldnt be ashamed of what you eat. If you have one bad meal in the day just make the next meal a healthy one. Dont beat yourself up about diet mistakes.

    If you want to start a food journal try blogger.com, wordpress.com, livejournal.com or even get a small book and write down what you eat. For example a food journal would be: what you ate, how much of it, what time, how much water you had etc.

    I used to keep a food journal in a real notebook. Having to whip it out and write down what I ate and the nutrtion info really helped me.

    if posting what you eat helps you do it. .. if you are doing your juice each morning dont beat yourself up for whatever else you do with your day foodwise.. on my quest to be healthy im sticking to the motto of .. trying to add good things to my diet rather than focus on removing things.. i think in the end if i keep adding the good things it will push the bad things out and that way my focus on like positive not negative.. like if you added a daily salad with gobs of raw veggies.. between your juice and the salad you are at least giving your body the fruit and veggie intake each day which i think is the most important

    There was a collective food diary thread on here a while ago if you'd like to contribute to that. Otherwise, just start posting it all here. Good luck!

    Go for it!

    Also, I have a livejournal, and there's a bunch of weightloss communities. The one I'm in, fitbody_fitmind...has weekly "challenges", where you post your goals for the week (such as, no sugary snacks, no eating past 9pm, etc) and have longer term challenges (where you say, i want to lose "x pounds" or whatever) and that way the moderator holds you accountable through your updates. Maybe that would work for you too

    oh man I have the same problem, i cant seem to start on a diet...
    I begin good but by the end of the day.. eh not so much...

    maybe you should keep a notebook (a real one) and leave it like... in ur kitchen or your fridge (haha) to remind urself to write in it... or get a small one you can carry around with you.

    I’m gonna start that up tomorrow. I really need to stop fucking around and get back into shape!

    Kaylinn, try making pizza muffins. Who grain English muffins with a little sauce and lowfat cheese. It may help limit your craving for the real fattier pizza.
    Good luck, i am on the same boat as you are. I wan better eating habits and just some tone, and a few pound weight loss.

    Why do you have to cook for your boyfriend?
    Surely just a few days whilst youre fasting he could look after himself foodwise and you could eat seperatly. That would probably make a huge difference.

    Try to include the healthy stuff each day even if you still have the crap. remember lots of water is important too to help flush the crap back out.
    If you must have pizza and breadsticks maybe you could try making them yourself. Then you can used wholemeal bread / bases and healthier fresh toppings and dont have to feel so bad.

    I don't have to cook for him or eat with him....he can fend for himself, but I am to easy to cave in when he says whats for dinner? I'll want to eat with him. Or if I tell him to go get fast food for himself, I'll want some to.

    I trie dmakign my own pizza, it dont satisfy the craving unless its the real thing...delivery from some aw3some place.
    And it wasnt very good with whole wheat flour, low fat cheese...yuck!
    Im just gonna try limiting to 2 days a week..maybe eat soup first so I fill up and dont eat as much.

    Water is 1 thing Ive gotten much better at, and I aim to drink a gallon a day, and I usualyl meet that goal. If I start drinkign it in the Am, the rest of the day is easy. I just have to remember to get my gallon out in the morning, and keep it near me.

    Gonna try to fast again tomorrow.....
    Last time I tried I made it the longest before caving, till 1am. SO maybe this time I can make it a whole day. I caved last time cause I didnt bring juice to work with me, was working hard, got hungry, and had nothign to put in my tummy. I got tired and irritable. Not good for work.

    I need to do this too, I've sucked at being healthy lately. But...if you have a real pizza addiction, I used to buy whole wheat pitas, and cover them in sauce and reduced fat shredded mozzarella, and whatever veggies and or chicken I wanted, and then stick it in the microwave til the cheese melts. They are actually really good, easy (so doesn't require much time) and healthy. It's worth a try anyway. Good luck!

    We should start a group at peertrainer.com. I'm in one through my aerobics class, but that is over now. It was good to have people to motivate me. Anyone interested?

    when i eat junk i just want junk.. i really think it is addicting especially anything with cheese/bread
    my son grew up with me and his dad junk food junkies and i just started the health kick maybe 5 years ago but he grew up on junk so still wants junk so i do order him pizza every couple weeks stuff like that but what i WANT to do im too lazy but think i need to just find his junk cravings and make them myself from scratch .. even if i dont do wh wheat flour instead of white i can still get white flour that is better than the cheap stuff in junk like Arthur Flour that is organic and not bleached.. cheese without hormones pepporoni without nitrates olive oil instead of whatever cheap oil they use.. so maybe search online or there is a book top secret recipes and find the recipe and make it just with better quality ingredients like real mozzerella just to get out of eating take out you control the ingredients then.. maybe in time you can tweek it a bit to make it healthier its easier to make the call i know.. ive yet to take the time to make him a homeade pizza..
    one thing though last week i ate good good good then fri night my son really wanted pizza.. it was friday night we were in .. pizza on a friday night is just good for thee soul so i let him order.. and said i wasnt eating blah blah my health talk so that little lad ordered half pepperoni and half cheese cause he knows i dont eat meat.. he sat down and innocently goes i ordered half cheese if you want it .. torn between eating good and spending a fun friday with my son eating pizza i got a plate and said slap a couple cheese on this plate for me .. and we sat down and watched tv but i had a trick!!! he's a big Texas Pete hot sauce freak so i doused my pizza with hot sauce.. it was soo good.. and i had to eat nice and slow .. i just had those 2 slim pieces the hot sauce was filling and kindof nitched the addictive factor and ussually after pizza i spend the night bloated and dying of thirst and feeling like crap the next morning.. i felt just fine and flat tummied in the morning and slept great .. 2 pieces with hot sauce sat so much better in me than half the pizza
    maybe order what you normally get and portion it out and freeze the rest for the next day .. and get out the hot sauce or better make your own and post the recipe which may get me motivated to start making the junk we eat from scratch

    Have you ever tried the lean cuisine, or South Beach frozen pizzas? I think that they are pretty good, maybe if you try eating those, they will probably limit you craving for the fattier, unhealthy kind of pizza.

    I've been doing fitday.com, you can have a free account and add custom foods. It's easy. I've been doing it for a week now and it really has helped me put things in perspective.

    OMG, I just suggested this in another thread and was going to put it here too, but you beat me to it!

    I dont like fitday. They dont have enough foods in their database. To many customs to add.
    Calorie counter is better, as far as foods they have in their database, but fit day is beter with other options. Ive been using a combo of both.
