Do you count calories? Can you count calories and stay sane? (if so please let me know how!) or does counting calories tip you over the edge... I think it's the last straw that sends me into crazy OCD restricting mode.
I've been keeping my food diary- that in itself is wonderfully positive for me, just being more aware of what I eat and when. Then was tempted to see how much I'd been eating so I back counted the calories- they were low. I was happy. I realised how easy it was to eat very few cals on this diet.
Then I started counting cals before eating instead of after. Bad idea. Restricting is mighty tempting. I think I need to stop counting calories again and just keep a food log.
I stopped weighing myself daily- that one's another temptation in the back of my mind every time I walk past the spot I know they're hidden- yes I know its quite sad I have to hide the scales from myself. I can do that I should be able to stop counting calories again.
My appetite has been very little, I've been eating minimally, I've been freezing cold- it's summer, thats not normal. My hair is falling out again. Houston we have a problem. I need to eat more, I know I need to eat more- the logical brain is still there, but I don't want to eat more. If I'm loosing so slowly at this rate then surely eating more would mean even slower losses. Maybe. Any tips for not feeling guilty for eating more?
I'm terrified of binging- I've been fighting the urge since all this family Christmas stuff began and I'm glad to say I've held firm but the act of eating more always has the ability to turn into a binge. Having said that stopping counting calories has that option too. Bah! stupid food. I just want to enjoy my food until I'm full and stick to low fat healthy whole vegan foods- you'd think that would be restricted enough for me wouldn't you?
I've been having huge salads for lunch recently, they're great for getting in enough veggies.
Here's one with tomato, celery, cucumber, lettuce, spinach and my new favourite dijon, herb & nutritional yeast dressing. Yum Yum Yum. This was just what I had left in the fridge but it tastes good with anything. The whole huge plate plus dressing was approximately 100 cals. Full of goodness & a dieter's best friend.
Hope you're all getting your veggies in! xxx
