Baby Food

Posted by nevergoodenough on January 25, 2012 at 2:15 AM Comments comments (5)

hey guys, So I'm trying the "baby food diet". It's supposed to be 14 jars plus one "real meal" a day. That's just WAY too much. I plan on doing 4 jars a day max. I was just seeing if anyone else has done anything similar? If there's any flavors you'd suggest? OR if there's anyone out there that wants to do it with me. I'm starting today (Wed. the 25th) and am going to stick with it till AT LEAST next wed. I'll just have to see how much progress I make and see how well it works. Only thing else will be my crystal light fruit punch water, which is only around 5 calories a bottle. I HIGHLY recommend it by the way, it's amazing, just as good as kool aid. It's my got to 24/7. Great in ice cubes as well! Anyway! let me know :)

Stashmonkey!

Alright, I need your advice.

Sue, (the mother), has decided that she is in charge of the kitchen. So, I need to get a new diet stash so I don't have to eat her God-Knows-What recipe of the day. Any ideas?

I've made a change.

Posted by destrukktion on January 7, 2012 at 9:05 PM Comments comments (0)

I've made a change. Its been 2+months…???

If I’m not going to eat, might as well consume foods that are somewhat beneficial to me, when and if the occasion arises that I do eat.

Its kinda. (note: kind-of) fucking ridiculous when I think about it.

Kind of….

Anyways, I consume (barely) 1/5 of what is “recommended” for someone my height/age. Do I give any fucks?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKK NO.

For someone who doesn’t eat I’ve become extremely picky at what I will and won’t eat. And as time goes by I’m restricting foods further and further, for different reasons.

One thing I’m never giving up is: you guessed it,

alcohol;ales and lagers, wines or kahlua AND FUCKIN’ CHEESE.

Oh yea, and water.

 


Oh and BY THE WAY..

Anything labeled, advertised or described as “mouth-watering” sounds disgusting as fuck.

Disgusting as fuck


Cooking show problem

Flipping through the channels I'm like "ooOoooh look what they are making"

and yet.

I don't cook
I'll never eat what they eat
or how they prepare it

why why why.

hahah I seriously dont know sometimes.

new favorite meal! (:

So I've been trying to find something that has low calories, and this is what I've come up with:

one cup of low calorie swiss miss hot chocolate mix with water: 25

a piece of toast: 60

This is my new breakfast cause if you dunk the toast in the hot chocolate and eat it, it fills you up and keeps you full. Pluss, you get the yummy taste of hot chocolate for only 85 calories(: Though, if you use a large piece of toast it will go up to 105, which is still good (:

If you have any foods that fill you up for less calories, please share with me? (: Thanks!

hey I love you all and lets make this 2012 memorable=D

Baby food pouches

Posted by FragileElement on December 20, 2011 at 2:15 PM Comments comments (7)

So today I was at the store with my mother and I saw these baby food pouches. They are like a meal in a pouch that are like 35 calories a pouch. Thats like really cool. But I started thinking if Babies are trying to grow then will the food acctaully make me gain weight if  I eat one for each meal? I know this may sound weird but its all fruit and veggies under 50 calories (: Idk I am weird. Has anyone ever thought about trying this or has done this?

why

eDiets... (binge eating entry)

Posted by the27thletter on November 29, 2011 at 7:25 PM Comments comments (2)

yeah... ::gulp::

< storytime >
hi. i'm a binge eater. over the years my weight has gone from 250 to 135 to presently, a steady 180. the entire time, i've never been happy with what i saw. when i was big, i longed to be small. when i was small, i longed to put the weight back on, and "fill out" the mess that was my skin... sometimes, i believe that i was happier big, because at least then i had a raeson for the stretch marks.
honestly, i was a happy size 7. it's strange to write that. i was happy at 140 pounds. i liked my life then. i liked my clothes, my friends, my outline... i didn't like my body, but i was able to cover it in cute clothing, so i felt, at least on the outside, "normal." however, times have changed.
i moved back home. i went to college. i went through 3 failed relationships. i started eating anything in sight; again. i took some time with my netbook and developed a food intake journal. i found a pattern to my binges. i found that i binged whenever we went food shopping. i binged when i was at frinds houses. i binged when i was in control in the cafe. i realized that i couldn't be faced with options or choices when it came to food befcause i would eat all of it. not just a taste of each. i would eat all of each. i sat down last week and asked myself why. why do i eat everything in sight like this? why is this my pattern?

and then it hit me: I CRAVE VARIETY!

upon my descovery, i checked my funds and signed up for eDiets.com meal deliveries. my first week's worth of food came today. the box weighted 22 pounds. seeing that scared me. i unpacked it, and put all the food into the fridge. as i was looking at the nutrition lables of what was now to become my food rations, i saw that each meal was around 300 calories and snacks were delicious looking! i said something that scared me:

"god, i can't wait to eat all of this!"

after packing everything away i came straight here. i needed to write this out. i've always known pt to be a place free of true judgement. i've always seen support, caring and the unyeilding compassion for one another. i'm asking you now for that.
i'm scared you guys...

i've made it so that my eDiets.com foods are the only foods i have access to. i've written out my meal schedule and i've created a gym routine that i HOPE will be of use to me. i want to lose 50 pounds. i don't have a time frame set, i just want the weight gone.
i'm going to give eDiets 1 month. i'm going to see how much weight i lose while eating only their foods. they say that i can expect 2 pounds a week. which is 8 pounds a month. i've decided that my base to lose will be that 8. (as in, if i lose less than 8 pounds in this upcoming month, i will not continue this program.) my target each month to lose will be 10 pounds. (so, i'm aiming for 10 pounds per month while eating this food and working out.) my target weight loss per month will be 12 pounds. this goal may be slightly unrealistic, but i can't say i'm not hopeful.

Good Morning

Posted by jessicajessica on November 26, 2011 at 11:30 AM Comments comments (1)

Woke up this morning at about 7:30. I slept on my couch again.
I woke up depressed as usual. Waking up is hard for me especially since my first waking thought is "I suck." And that is an understatement compared to what depressing thoughts actually run through my mind upon waking.
I battled withmyself over eating breakfast. I debated whether or not it was worth it. Whether I was worth it. But not eating breakfast sets such a poor example to my Daughters. Eating breakfast should not be a to do or not to do question. It should just happen without thought.
My throught is too sore to purge anymore. Which is the worst part about eating these last 2 days. I can't get anything back up. Therefore, I am even angrier at myself when I eat.
Dear Eating disorder and all the other stuff that travels with you (depression, anxiety, self loathing), you are not very nice :(.

was this a good day or not?

Posted by haleyN on November 21, 2011 at 9:00 PM Comments comments (5)

okay so i ate less than 1/4 a cup of pine apple which is 20 calorie

2 chicken nuggets from burger king 1= 55 calories

 and a bottle of bug juice= 120 calories

and few bowls of whole grain cereal 

was this good or bad

Note to self; STOP OVEREATING!!!

Posted by Monica Yao on November 16, 2011 at 11:10 PM Comments comments (9)

Everyday i tell myself that" starting from tomorrow i will stop overeating and go on a diet", but then the temptations around me just makes me lose self control. Therefore i start to eat and eat even more, yet after feeling so guilty ; said the same thing to my self again" starting from tmr i will stop overeating and go on a diet" it is like a CYCLE. again and again~ 

I go to proana websites , so i know a lot of weight loss tips and tricks but it seems like i dont have any selfcontrol to follow those tips and tricks. i need something to get me motivated ~~~ 

WHAT I ATE TODAY :

Breakfast: Hot Dog (130)

Snacks : M&M chocolates; a small piece of banana chocolate cake; a bite of an oatmeal cookie; 3 Hershey Kisses; a trident Gum; rice kripys; 

Lunch: yougurt parfait; cheerios; crackers(50)0; spongecake;strawberries with honey; boil egg(70); sliced beef; marinated tofu;

Dinner: Low Fat Noodle thing(36) with soysauce, More Strawberries with honey , more honey  nut cheerios.

That ends my Meal~~ =[[

most people dont even know what veganism is.

when i first went vegan the pounds started to shead off of me !

i went from 120 pounds to 110 in a week , eating all day long as much as i could.

i did hit a wall were it wsnt that easy anymore but its SOOO much easier than eating all that meat and dairy and still trying to loose weight.

GREAT BOOKS TO CHECK OUT :

Spinach and Quorn Risotto in Lettuce Wrap (323 cal)

Posted by Merymeyew on November 10, 2011 at 11:30 AM Comments comments (2)

Notes -

- VERY filling (keeps me full for minimum of 6 hours!!)

- It is a little salty because of the Quorn, but I like it that way.

- Suitable for vegetarians.

- To make this gluten-free replace Quorn with another substitute (Quorn is 81 cal)

Calories: 323     Sat. Fat: 2g     Carbs: 42      Protein: 19      Vit C: 28     Iron: 22

Prep time: 5 minutes          Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 1tsp olive oil

- 1 clove crushed garlic

- 75g Quorn steak strips

- 1/4 cup Dry arborio risotto rice

- 100g spinach (frozen or fresh)

- 2 cups Swiss Marigold Vegan Bouilion Powder stock (10g ) or another alternative vegetable stock

- Several large iceburg lettuce leaves

Method:

1. Prepare the vegetables stock and put to one side

2. Gently heat the oil in a frying pan, add the Quorn and cook for several minutes

3. When Quorn steak strips are mostly cooked add the crushed garlic and fry for a few seconds

4. Add the stock little by little and the risotto rice

5. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, be sure to stirr occassionally.

6. If spinach is frozen add according to instructions, but if fresh add when the risotto has been cooking for 10 minutes.

7. Serve in lettuce leaves and wrap up like a fajita!

Enjoy!
