Yesterday was terrible! I binged at night time and blew it w/ a waffle and syrup, then I figured I already blew it so i may as well have what I want and then I ate another pickle, diet pepsi, and some cheetoos. I know my problem is and always has been at night, so I have to power up to face that giant tonight! I will not starve to death, it is ok to be hungry sometimes, and find something to do instead, or gross yourself out on the PETA website or something, read the Bible. Journal what time, what you were doing and why you want to eat! Tonight I will be strong!!! Today is NEW!

Note- I think I will do better once I am working, I am trying not to stress eat. I do that sometimes. I am in between jobs in a poor economy, and have PMS. Again not excuses, but want to note what's going in my life so I can look back to see if it makes a difference, which I know it does. Also have been wheining off of my 50 mg. zoloft over the past two weeks.
TIPS-
Prepackaged, frozen meals - Weight Watchers has "Smart Ones," there's Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, and now the South Beach diet. I buy whatever looks good and/or is on sale, not because I am following a particular diet. These foods are healthy and offer variety.
Canned soup - Read the labels. Companies usually list more than one serving per can, so the calories and sodium are more that what you see at first glance. Healthy soups are costlier but the cans are larger and they're chunkier. Regular soup is fine as long as you keep track of calories, fat calories, and sodium.
Rice cakes - Plain rice cakes are only around 35 calories. Unsalted ones have very little sodium and are healthier. Other flavors are available and quite good. Even though they have a few more calories, they're worth the extra treat.
Lowfat cottage cheese - Add a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese to your diet to balance it out. You'll get dairy benefits and only about 80 calories.
Light yogurt - Light yogurt has more calories than what I'd like, but it's a treat. Pick your favorite flavor and reward yourself when your sweet tooth kicks in.
Popcorn - Currently, you can find healthy mini-bags such as Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop® that you just pop in the microwave. This will add only 100 calories to your diet and quench your desire for munchies. A perfect snack.
Pickles - Load up on dill pickles and dill slices. This makes a nice "side dish" or snack and helps fill you up without giving you calories. Other pickles, such as "bread and butter" give you calories, so make sure you read the label.
Cool Whip - Are you an ice cream addict? Next time you have a craving, eat some frozen Cool Whip Light instead.
Sugar-Free Jello - Available in a large variety of flavors, you're in for a refreshing treat. Prefer pudding? look for Jello pudding cups that contain a mere 60 calories per cup.
Light Bread - Wonder light bread has only 40 calories per slice. Regular bread is around 60 per slice.
Condiments and spreads - Did you know that mustard has zero calories? The calorie content of ketchup varies by the brand. Either way, you need to count and add them to your daily list. Mayo is packed with calories so it's best to stick with the fat-free version (Kraft is my favorite brand.)
Butter or margarine is another no-no but you can find brands that offer fat-free spread although they sacrifice taste. Look for low-cal sprays for tasty veggies and grilled-cheese sandwiches. For a welcome change, spruce up a salad with healthy salsa sauce instead of salad dressing.
Beverages - Water is very beneficial to feeling full and satisfied. Your body needs extra water when it's eliminating fat, so stay hydrated. Tea, diet sodas and sugar-free drink mixes add variety and all count towards your liquid/water intake. Fat-free hot chocolate is perfect for chocolate cravings and warms you up on a cold winter day.
The main key to lose fat is to make sure that your body burns more calories then it consumes.
I would like to help you out in your fat burning process by giving you a list of low calorie foods.
