What I've learned so far from doing this challenge is that I can not try to be perfect anymore. I haven't changed my eating for this much at all...I tried to be super perfect with the alcohol and popcorn at first and I started obsessing over it. It puts my head into places it shouldn't go. I am happy eating well most of the time, and indulging in a few things I really enjoy. I've also learned that I do, in fact, eat well most of the time. And even though I have a diet that is considered really good by most people, and try to work out 4-5 hours a week, and sleep well...I still have extra weight. And I need to keep focusing on the habits themselves, and doing what is good for me, even if the scale never seems to move anymore. It's the least I can do for my body after all the shit I've put it through. One day it might be fully recovered and at a place where it trusts me enough to let go of the extra weight. or it might not. I'm wrapping my head around that and learning to be comfortable with it.

But it was that or chocolate or bread or wine. I could have stayed down there eating, but took myself upstairs and took a shower instead. I should have had my 8pm food at 5pm. That would have gotten me through those last 4 hours better!

8:00 40 oz yerba mate tea with spices and 1 tbs each coconut oil and butter
11:00 2 hard boiled eggs, 24 oz green veggie smoothie (cucumber, celery, chard, 1/2 green apple, lemon juice, turmeric and ginger root, kombucha, aloe juice, hemp seed and chia seeds)
32 oz water
2:00 2 cups homemade chili (meat, tons of veggies, tomatoes, and spices), plus 2 cups of green beans with olive oil, balsamic, and roasted coriander seeds
32 oz water
6:30pm...Small salad (same ingredients as last four days) with 4 oz chicken and homemade evoo/vinegar dressing
I've been really hungry at night. Night time was my nemesis. I'd come home from work and eat dinner and then usually have popcorn and wine. I tried not to eat right when I got home because it had only been 2 hours since dinner, so was trying to figure out whether I was truly hungry or whether my body is just trained to want to eat at that time. I drank water and did chores. When my stomach began loudly growling at me I said 'fuck it' and made something. At least it's not popcorn and wine.
9:00pm 2 oz chuck steak, 1/2 cup blueberries with 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut and cinnamon
11pm Up late studying. 4 oz red wine and 1 serving tortilla chips. Need to get my ass to sleep earlier. I have no willpower that late!

1:15pm 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes ... I didn't think about the fact that I'd be working out when I packed my snack. Usually after a workout I go for protein and veg. My bad. I will be starving by the time I get home!

3:00 STARVING! lol! 4 oz cube steak, 2 cups green beans with roasted coriander seeds, 1/2 avocado with balsamic and black pepper
3:30-4:00 Nap :)
5:00 been starving for the last hour. Too little fuel for the activity I've done in the last day. Ate 1 hard boiled egg and 12 hazelnuts. OHHHHHHH my fucking god. SO hungry that I ate half my dinner meatball while I was packing my food to go. then grabbed a handful of the chopped up salad veggies and ate it in my car. 32 oz water.
7:00 Big ass salad and dressing (just like last nights) with the second half of my 4 oz meatball (half lean ground turkey, 1/2 organic chicken italian sausage)
8:30pm Finally home. Gnawed on a 1 oz piece of steak when pouring a big glass of kombucha. I left out the tequila I wanted to add to it. Yay, me. Went upstairs and took a nice hot bath with epsom salts and lavender instead. I still want the shot of tequila. But at least I'm more relaxed about it now.

OH! Weighed and measured this morning. (178 pounds. Neck 12.75, Shoulders 41, Chest 38.5, Mid 34, Waist 32.5, Abs 36.5, hips 44, Thight 25.5). Paid Heather and had Quinn do my BF% (31.2) at 4pm today. (making note of that because Quinn suggested I try to replicate the conditions of the original testing in regards to hydration level for the most accurate re-test in 30 days.)
As for journaling about how I feel with my food choices...I've been eating like this for almost a decade, so I know I feel better. There's not a lot for me to learn in that regard. To be totally honest, this is huge for me in another regard. I am a recovering bulemic. I lost all my weight in a healthy way, but then became bulemic (I am a recovered addict, so I tend to pick fucked up ways to manifest my issues). So anyway...my biggest trigger for my bulemia was actually orthoanorexia...or simply, I was way to strict about my diet. I micromanaged it down to the micronutrient level. And all it took was me having an apple that I wasn't supposed to have and I'd failed...worthless stupid complete and utterly hopeless failure...so I'd go on 4-5 day food rampages eating my body weight in crap and purging. So when I started recovery in October, I had to learn to NOT be so strict with my diet. Which terrified me...in my head all it took was overeating one time and I'd wake up weighing 200 pounds more again. Not realistic or feasible, but terrifying none the less. So today was the first time since mid October 2014 that I've weighed myself. I've gained 20 pounds. And I'm ok with that. I abused my body with food for decades...compulsively eating until I weighed almost 400 pounds, then becoming bulemic for 8 years after I lost the weight. I had to eat how I have been for the last 9 months to teach myself that I could. To teach myself that I was still a good person, even if I choose to eat some cheese one day or a piece of bread another. But I've come a long way and am in totally different headspace now. I no longer feel like my self worth is tied to my weight in any manner. I've learned to love myself unconditionally...finally and thank god! :) And I'm ready to try and get some of this extra 20 pounds off. So...probably more than you need to know about me, but I figured it was necessary information if you're going to be reading about my feelings toward food right now. For me, the being strict and journaling and everything is treading into uncertain territory. Wish me luck. lol!
