squamgirl - I definitely had a weekend or two like that while I was swaying. It's sooooo hard to stop eating again once you get a taste of real food. I also agree that pizza isn't the worst cheat - it would be far worse to eat a hamburger or steak.

Yummmm Squamgirl your making me feel really hungry. I'm having a pig out night I'm making a sauce with chorizo sausages in penne pasta I can't wait and choc mint ice-cream
Oh my goodness Belle! I LOVE chorizo!!!
My food from yesterday:
late breakfast: fruit leather, popcorn, crystal light
snack: ds and I both ate a mini twix BEFORE lunch to celebrate his birthday
lunch: fruit leather, pb&j, popcorn, crystal light, swedish fish
dinner: small homemade burrito, no-salt white corn tortilla chips
dessert: chocolate ice cream- again celebrating ds
night-time snacking: swedish fish, popcorn, crystal light, white chocolate truffle
Calories: 1248
Sodium: 924
Protein: 28
When DH is out of town, I have a harder time with the late-night snacking. I'll try harder to be good tonight :)
today
lunch: pitta with philli + grapes, cucumber
afternoon snack: mars bar
tea: Mediterranean rice with some chicken and "healthy eating" korma sauce, some organic white choc
Yesterday's food:
late breakfast: toast with a smidge of butter, hot chocolate
lunch: pb&j, swedish fish
afternoon weakness: two bitty pieces of BBQ chicken, no-salt tortilla chips
dinner: small homemade burrito, no-salt tortilla chips
evening snacking: two fruit leathers, popcorn, swedish fish, crystal light
calories: 1288
sodium: 1192
protein: 29
Again, evening snacking was a weakness. At least a lot of it was popcorn, which is filling but doesn't have many calories, no sodium and not too much protein.
DH is home now, so hopefully we'll be too busy with projects for me to snack all night :)
even with the snacking you're still very low (possibly too low) on the calories so I wouldn't necessarily stop the snacking
Squamgirl I hope you don't mind me asking but what is Swedish fish?
Belle- swedish fish is a candy that here in the States you can either buy from bulk bins or in bags.
Here's a wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Fish
They're a good way to get empty calories.... no fat, no sodium, no protein.
I like the mini ones, red only :)
Goodness, I never thought I would be eating empty calories on purpose. :)
Yesterday's food:
late breakfast: toast with jam
snack: wheat crackers with cheese, almonds
lunch: apple, yogurt, graham cracker
afternoon snack: fruit leather, popcorn, swedish fish, crystal light
dinner: two pancakes with buttermilk syrup, swedish fish for dessert
evening snack: popcorn, swedish fish, crystal light
calories: 1217
sodium: 1069
protein: 26
I didn't cut out the snacking and tried to get more calories because I know I've been too low. I can't seem to get my protein higher without going high on the sodium. I've got to get a better handle on eating.
My skin has broken out in a few different rashes that itch like crazy. I have to wonder if I were to eat properly again for a few days if it would help them clear up.
