Lean On My Shoulder / How do I start again?

« on: September 28, 2011, 11:14:38 PM »

I am in a big RUT. I have been gorging myself. I can't seem to get satisfied. Granted I am eating all the junk foods. It is as if I am a drug addict! What do I do? I thought about taking a diet pill to help me with the vicious cravings?
Please help me get back on track.

General Discussion / Excel spreadsheet?

I would like to give myself a time Goal. For example: In 12 weeks I would like to lose 30-40 pounds.
I want to chart my progress with weight, body measurements, fat percentage, exercise.
Yes, this needs to be a Lifestyle for me because of my issues with a high sugar (though I am not a diabetic).

I have been toddling around this forum and just haven't gotten traction.

So does anybody have a tracking system for daily meals, weight, exercise?
Should I aim at about 1200 to 1500 calories a day? I would like to take 3 tablespoons of EFA's daily along with my meals. And I would like NOT to eat 5-6 times a day. Why? because I have a food addiction anyway and I just don't want to think about food all the time.

Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Doug and fellow FTS. This really helped me very much.
This evening I was having a sugar craving. I was ready to get in the car and drive to the corner store and buy a Snickers bar. (more like 3 bars) but instead I made a protein shake. My whey protein has 1 carb per scoop. And I use Almond milk which has 1 carb per 8 oz.
Added two probiotic supplements and a few frozen strawberries. oh and a tablespoon of coconut oil. IT was like having a shake. The urge has left me and my nerves are calm. It was a Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde moment.

I did have a can of sardines for breakfast. That was about 8 am. I know sounds odd but I really like Sardines. And along with it I had a GG cracker.

For lunch I had two fried eggs in olive oil. For a snack I ate pork cracklings, and then for dinner I made some tuna salad.

Yesterday, I made a pork roast with several pounds of greens. That was very yummy.

Tomorrow is my 57th birthday. My family is taking me out to dinner. I already have planned to have a beef patty or chicken breast with salad.

I am trying to take 1 tbs of Cod oil at least once a day just before bed. This helps lubricate my eyes. (I really have problems with my eyelids sticking.)
And 2 tbs of coconut oil during the day.

Is this too much?

Once again. I deeply appreciate yall's input.

I was doing pretty good. Then my husband's birthday came along and then my son's birthday and then mine. I have just ate everything in sight and then some. Granted no put that fork up to my mouth but me. I really need to get back on track. Can I get a "kick" of encouragement from anybody that's been there and done that. I need to know how to get back on track. I have tried every day but I just get too hungry and then shovel in the bad stuff.
I feel so pitiful that I am actually depressed and beating up myself. I was doing well with exercising and eating low carb. I sure would appreciate the help.
