Food

Food drives me batty.

I have to eat, but food has become such a chore that makes me nuts sometimes.

Yesterday I ate (all nicely tracked by Spark People):

Breakfast
Oatmeal - 130 ml (uncooked)

Morning Snack
Peanut butter Popsicle - OK it's just a tablespoon of peanut butter on a spoon but I savour it and eat it like a Popsicle

Lunch
brown rice - 120 ml or so
a cup of frozen, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower

Afternoon Snack
the scrapings out of the jar of peanut butter that I didn't realize was as empty as it was

Supper
a cup of string beans
French Fries (just a few)
Chicken leg
Sweet potatoes

Evening snack
125 ml of Planters fruit and nut trail mix
Peanut Butter Popsicle (see above)

My goal is to eat 6 300-400 calorie meals a day.

So I'm thinking I did pretty good, ate all day long, ate decent food, nothing too 'evil' and I come out with 1303 calories instead of the 2000 I'm suppose to be aiming for!

[For those of you who are old school and think the best way to weight loss is less calories, perhaps if you system wasn't screwed up from years of you-yo dieting to the point where you body refuses to burn stored fat and you end up gaining weight and having no energy]

My greatest fear is going over thanks the stupid voices in my head.

Today it's lunchtime and I'm only at 400 or so calories, I"m off for another peanut butter popsicle!
