CherokeeAlex's Journal

[CherokeeAlex]

I finally decided to start one of these after waffling about it for months.

Background: I am a 22 year old female. Highest weight was 213 pounds. Currently at 178 pounds. Goal weight is 150 pounds.

Diet: I've always been athletic but gained a lot of weight after a horrible breakup because I binge eat. My binging has been under control for a year. I really need to eat more fruits and vegetables, but they bore me. My portions are usually good unless I'm eating pizza. I love pizza. I drink alcohol maybe once a week, often less.

Exercise: I am on the local fencing team and we fence once a week for two hours. I have a Wii Fit and try to use it twice a week for at least an hour, but I'm pretty bad about it. When it's not freezing cold out, I will run for a mile or two. But it's freezing cold right now.

No, I just eat until I feel full. Calorie counting makes me feel like I'm cheating myself out of something. Being mindful of how full I am works better for me. Also, I'd note that I didn't eat anything after that rather large lunch on Sunday. I didn't need to; I wasn't hungry the rest of the day.

Food today:
Fiber One cereal with skim milk
2 cups black coffee
1 large salad (mixed greens, feta cheese, shredded carrots, ham, croutons, balsamic vinagrette)
1 piece pepperoni pizza (which I so didn't need for lunch)
large diet Ginger Ale
3 pieces homemade pizza
1 diet Coke
8oz. V8 Fusion

Exercise: 30 min Wii Fit

Tomorrow I'm going to start bringing lunch to work. The salad is healthy, but I have to break myself of eating pizza every day. Plus it's expensive to always buy.
