I promised myself this wouldn’t be a “diet” blog…yeah, I know it’s a support for dieters, but I didn’t want to post…I ate this today and I didn’t eat that. I can’t do that. It’s not me, not the type of person I am.
But….I did do something that I am proud of. I ordered lunch, chinese, and ate the soup for lunch and part of the meal for dinner. I DIDN’T EAT ALL THE WHITE RICE that’s in caps because that is a big deal. I am proud of myself for that :rofl:
Now, excersice is my problem. I did some today, running around after a one year old who is just learning to walk…ok, so I am not running around after her as much as holding her as she walks around…the girl learned to crawl last month and now refuses to because walking is fun.
I want to post a picture, but I don’t know how. I know how to do it in a post, but I want to do it as a member and update my profile under the members button….help.
I do want to mention how much I like this site and how great everyone is. I love the support, just knowing I can come here and read and stuff, knowing that others are feeling the same thing (sometimes at the same time) and understanding the feelings of frustration…it makes me feel like I can do it this time. thanks everyone.

Rachel, I don’t keep food journals myself (Sorry Leanne!!!). BTDT and all it did was “feed” my overeating and feelings of guilt. I understand it works for some, and hey, whatever keeps you motivated
Good luck to you!

Wow, major kudos for not eating all of the white rice! Yea, I am a sucker for white rice too…..

Way to go, Rachel! Sometimes when you think you did well in making a choice it is okay to say, “Yay, I only had one piece of bread instead of 2,” or whatever. You can put your whole food log on if you want, but I can understand you not wanting to either. I figure if I stay within my points, I don’t want everyone to know exactly what I ate. It’s not me either. I would be embarrassed for everyone to know that I ate peanut butter toast everyday for lunch, I mean if I did, that is. :winking:
I agree this site is awesome. Leanne rocks! She must not be sleeping at all with all the stuff she is doing with the site. I don’t frankly know how she is getting in her work outs. She must have cloned herself.

I haven’t figured out the members’ page either…I probably missed a post somewhere explaining it, and I’m afraid I’ll crash all of Word Press if I poke around too much

I understand totally about you not wanting to post what you ate. Sometimes I have a hard time even writing it in my journal let alone posting it on the web. :shame:
Exercise is a big problem for me too - in that I don’t seem to ever do any! I really need to get off my butt. :winking:
Take Care

That is so hard for me–not finishing what is on my (or my kids’) plates. But you can do it–you have done it. You are amazing.

I hear ya on the white rice! My husband is from Thailand, home of one of the finest rices in the world, and for him a meal isn’t complete without it. So whenever he cooks Asian food, usually Thai or Japanese, I must really limit myself and I still have over the 1/2 cup serving size. I always try never to eat more than two servings, or one cup. I tried cooking brown rice seperately for myself, but it never worked out.
