Research

So I've been doing more research and I am devastated to find out that my beloved Oreo's are high in calories- really, what else could I expect?- 3 Oreos 160 calories!!! 

I found a great website which tells me what weight I need to be at each week in order to achieve my end goal! YAY! It even says the exact amount of calories as well!! I love this sight. Tomorrow I'm going to print out my table and pin it up where I can keep track but my parents won't find it. I've decided not to start until I get back (in february). But I WILL start eating less and start to put some of the things I've researched into practice.

Start weight; 73kg’s (160.9) EWW Puke!

I'm going away soon so hopefully by the time I get back this number will be smaller.. even if it's not by much.

The great thing is, I actually felt full! Like really really full. I could have probably eaten ¾ of the sandwich I had for lunch and been nicely full but I felt like I should eat the rest and not waste it.

I really hate to waste food. Especially since so many people in the world get none. I think that’s one of my eating problems. I make sure everything on my plate is eaten even if I’m full. I’m going to change this habbit, even if I will feel guilty.

Today I chucked out half a vanilla (my favourite type) cheesecake, ¾ of a pack of timtams (they taste like crap anyway so this didn’t bother me too much), 1 full packet of mint slices. There is still plenty of junk food- aka chips etc- in the pantry, but because my sister isn’t home anymore there will be less in the house and once those are finished off- by my parents hopefully- there is no need to buy them again.

I’ve been looking at Jamie Olivers’ website for more healthy easy recipes because I do most of the cooking in our house. Some of the things are just so fatty I can’t even look at them, but others are really good.

Things I’m trying to stay away from; Pasta! ( I <3 carbs!), White bread, potatoes- because I now realise how many calories they contain!, rice, pastries, cakes & deserts.

I’m going to start doing the calorie-counting thing because I’m supposed to eat no more than 1600 per day. It will be interesting to see how many I actually eat :S

Breakfast; 1 glass of pepsi max (300mls)

Lunch;

2 slices of Rye bread

lettuce

3 mini roma tomatoes

lamb

mint jelly

margarine (one side of the rye bread only)

Dinner;

1 glass of pepsi max (350mls)

Salad- 2 slices of tomato, lettuce

1 ½ tsp Balsamic vinegar for the dressing

1 1/3 cup Carbonara short pasta

2 tbsp frozen peas

¼ cup of chicken

Other; 1 bite of a white nectarine.. I couldn't stomach any more

I brushed my teeth after lunch so I would snack until dinner came around (I found it on a pro-ana site) and it actually worked! I'm going to do this when I'm able to. Uni is starting up again in just over a month so most of the time I'll be there which will be harder.
