again my scale tells me that i dropped a whole pound in one day. i'm starting to wonder: is this legit? is my scale calibrated poorly? or is this extra weight so foreign that my body is eager to drop it? i guess i'll find out soon enough. as long as the number keeps getting lower, i'm happy.
breakfast:
green tea w/ tsp of sugar (15)
banana (100)
lunch:
20 grapes (60)
7 mini rice cakes (50)
coffee w/ tsp of sugar (15)
dinner:
leftover stew (130)
skinny girl diet total: 210 calories (limit: 400)
actual total: 370 calories

i feel a chocolate craving coming on (i'm pms-ing, go figure) and i was a little worried until i came across a great tip: cocoa powder! 1 tablespoon has 15 calories, so sprinkle some cocoa powder on banana slices or an apple or plain rice cakes to satisfy your chocolate craving. i think it's a great idea, and i can't wait to try it, maybe tomorrow.
it's weird, but a lot of the so-called "pro-ana" advice just doesn't work that well for me. like the one that says you shouldn't eat in front of your computer screen? i do that all the time and it makes me eat slower, especially while blogging! (i'm actually eating my lunch of grapes and rice cakes while i type this!) i can see how it would be bad to grab a whole bag of chips and just mindlessly eat while on the computer, but i portion all the food out, put it on a plate, then i take small bites and type or browse websites between bites. sometimes it will take me an hour to eat a plate of food this way!
hope your week is off to a lovely start!

Wow, you did REALLY good. I feel like I ate too much today... I'm going to shoot for a much lower number tomorrow haha. Tomorrow is 300 calories though! So it should definitely be lower.
ReplyDeleteI can kinda see what you're saying about the eating thing. I plate everything and measure everything I eat as well. I try to eat on black plates or clear plates, too. It kinda helps. I can't eat while I'm on the computer though. I like to focus when I eat for some reason, idk. Focusing when I do eat helps me not miss food so much (:
Fingers crossed its legit! I agree with you about eating in front of things *if* you've pre portioned and eat slowly, but so many people can't and end up not feeling satisfied and wasting calories. I guess we've all got to do what works for us :) Keep up the good work! xxx
ReplyDeletei totally eat slower in front of the computer too! when it's just me and the fridge i totally binge but if i have something to distract me, it's alll good. tell me how the coco powder goes, i want to try it! and good job on your intake love :) xox
ReplyDeletegood work girl :) it's a sign of your hard work paying off! yeh i eat slower too because my hands are busy typing etc....i think i would fail if i had cocoa powder because once i have a little bit i have to have a LOT. everyone's different i guess! x
ReplyDeleteIts hard for me to eat when I'm not distracted by my computer or the TV. I just don't see how eating is an event that needs to be sat and appreciated at a dinning table for all to see. I don't even like seeing it hence the distraction of TV/computer. Thank god.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on SGD, seems like everyone's doing it. Hope it works for you.
yeeeah if you are really eating so little, you're bound to have lost 1 lb in a day! well done!! :D xxxxx
ReplyDeleteAmazing food, I'm impressed. You lot really get a lot out of the food limit, I'm terrible at it!
ReplyDeleteDon't wonder about the weight loss... embrace it! ;)

I'm bad in front of the computer AND the TV if I don't portion control it. That's the key. Great job. Keep up the good work.
