Off the Wagon

I kinda dropped off the face of the dieting world today by eating. A lot. I won't bother counting...its too much, but I will be back to counting again tomorrow. I need to practice more self control...

Fat Fail

I was doing so well today until a friend offered me spaghetti...and it went downhill from there. It's hard to this quick from the lifestyle and eating patterns of a pretty hearty guy who admittedly loves his food to that of what could essentially be considered anorexic. I started the day off with a can of oysters at 170 calories and then I ate about 2 hours later a bowl of ramen at 210 calories (noticing any staple foods yet?) which put me at 380 for the day and I was perfectly content with not eating for the rest of the day...then a (female) friend offered me spaghetti she cooked herself and who was I to refuse (AHEM) and so I ended up eating about 460 calories in that...thank goodness I didn't eat seconds, but it still gets worse. So for now I'm at 840 calories...Then my roommate decides we are going to McDonald's where we split a 20 pc chicken nuggets and we each had a frappe, which probably was well above 500 calories. I honestly probably ate a lot more than that. I call today a fail, but I will not eat any more tomorrow than I need to. This is the trying time if I can make it through this, I'll be golden.

Back To Counting (Cont.)

Oh No! Double Posting!! However shall i be punished for this heinous crime? Ha Ha. Anyway, Here's my count for today. At noon, I ate an apple and then I was forced to eat at work, which ended up being chicken strips, like it will always be when I'm at work now because I get two sides with it which are apples. The kicker about today was that my supervisor was eating with me and she was concerned that i wasn't eating much so I was forced to eat when I was with her. That ended up being 350-ish calories putting me at 450-ish counting the apples. When I got hungry again later (because I could get hungry again because my stomach was stretched) I ate a bowl of ramen which was 210 calories, capping me off today for 660. Not quite the low 400 I had two days ago, but it's just a small step back. Nothing I can't overcome. I do have to say, however, that I did receive quite a few hunger pangs today because my stomach was stretched.

Back To Counting!!

Guess what, guys!!! I'm posting this from my brand new Acer Notebook PC!!! That's right, I won the pie eating contest, but at what price, you ask? Well, I wasn't really counting, but my roommate had my back. We ate one pie as fast as we could (thank goodness) and he reported to me later that the pie was 400 csalories PER SERVING...there were five servings. Plus, since I had already given up counting for the day, I kind of indulged...as in 2 brats (lets just assume here that I wasn't counting calories), a half a plate of potato wedges, 2 funnel cakes with a mountain of powdered sugar, ice cream, and fried chicken. Now in my defense, I was not eating this just to eat because i wasn't counting. you think if I had not cared about what I was eating, I would be able to tell you I ate it? No, my purpose for gorging myself was so that my stomach would be stretched out for the contest which I thought would be a lot more than one pie. Anyway, as I said yesterday, I was WELL above 1000 cal. probably well above 5 or 6000, which concerns me, because if I could lose control that fast, what am I in for when I start eating regularly again? I suppose this has become the new norm. At least I'll be thin. If i could lose weight. I feel like I should be seeing changes already but that's just me being impatient. I really know better than to anticipate because anticipation breeds disappointment, and disappointment breeds failure. As I promised, I went back to counting today, but I'll save that for another post. This one's kinda long.

Ok folks, if theres anyone out there, if you believe strongly in what I am doing or even care the tiniest bit, I am sorry, but tonight I forsake my journey for my love of tech. I am entering my colleges pie eating contest tonight, which will put me well above the 1000 calorie mark as it will likely be a very fattening pie and quite a long contest. Most likely this will be in vain because my stomach has shrunk so much that when I ate a small salad today (the first time I've sat down to eat since starting this) i almost threw up, and really I only needed to eat half of it to be full. If i can't eat a small salad, then who's to say I'll win a pie eating contest that is likely quantity over time? Anyway, I will be back to calorie counting tomorrow since it would be pointless to post an obvious failure. But wish me luck that this regressive endeavor not be in vain. Thanks and I'll post about my worthless failures tomorrow.
