Right so lunch was this soup with chorizo and butter beans - filling and low cal, freaking awesome. It was about 200 cals I worked out, I'm overestimating slightly I think, but better that way than if I miss something!! And 40 for hot chocolate.
I've made stuffed cabbage leaves (like vine leaves - yum Greek food! Cinnamon too for that extra metabolism boost!) for dinner, they're in the oven now. Worked those out at 50 cals a pop, so approx 200 for dinner. Woo!! Will add some veggies to that I think, brocolli (30) and peas (60 ish). Super tasty!!!!
Day's total will hopefully be 799. Giving me leeway if I feel the need for anything else but I don't *have* to if I don't want to. Food is merely fuel, food cannot make a person happy - this is my latest life cycle. That way, if I can assimilate it into my way of thinking, I will never get fat and I will only eat what my body needs and I will not binge/eat loads/feel guilty for eating "bad" foods.
Tomorrow morning is my weigh-in which I'll post to RayRay when I've done it. I'm quite hopeful of a loss, given Friday's weight but also (and sorry if this is TMI) I've not had a BM since Friday so I'm a lil worried!! I have been eating loads of vegetables so I don't know what's gone wrong!!!! I don't want to take non-natural laxatives... oh well, if my weight is over what I'm expecting, I can use that. I've tried hard to be consistent this week, so fingers crossed!!

it great - you just can't overdo or you'll be ill and have stomache aches like nothing else.

i need to constantly repeat this to myself.
mm yumm-o! thank you for the very inspirational post. and you are totally NOT "holier than thou", I actually saw it as a reality check. It's good to have someone speaking like that into my ear...or in this case, for my eyes...because it gives me a chance to step back and get the bigger picture. I have relaxed a bit...i think I am being overwhelmed with too much in my head.
what do I do? Well, I have a goal...but I think it's a process. I'll do what I can in the mean time and one day I will get there. Not sure when that is tho.
Anyway, good luck and keep posting =)
!!! Loved this post. So true, food can't make one happy. I need to remember these wise words. Thanks for being inspiring! Good luck on weigh in :)
