TUESDAY 27/01/11
Feeling really low today. Don't know why but everything really seems to be getting me down. I have felt so much like just stuffing my face but have managed to stifle that urge to an extent. Went out and played table tennis this afternoon and felt great. However, afterwards we went to a bar and my friend wanted us to have a meal and a few pints etc. I looked at the menu and there really was very little I felt I could have. My friend had steak, chips, mushrooms peas etc and a few beers. I settled for a side salad (with two sachets of salad cream
) and a diet coke... However when I got home about 40 mins later I was instantly hungry so ate lunch (late lunch) like the salad etc had never existed... Then went on to have dinner etc as normal... and some yoghurt!
I am also being really unproductive with my academic studies since I started the diet, just mooching around and not really getting on with stuff - which is only adding to the stress and sense of depression! Hopefully tomorow will feel better.
Food diary for today:
12:00 - Medium Bowl of Special K with Semi-Skimmed Milk
16:30 - Lunch at a bar:
Side Salad
2 x Sachet of Salad Cream
11:00 - 2 x Hard Boiled Egg
2 x Lice of White Bread
Bertoli Spread
12:00 - 220g of Muller Vanilla Fat Free Yoghurt
P.s. Was meant to start counting calories today but as i've felt so rubbish I didn't bother. Don't think today has been too much of a disaster but I hope to get some kitchen scales on Friday, so will start the counting then!:wave_cry:

Please be careful. Even a person who isn't doing any exercise needs approx 10 cals per lb of weight just to function, so by reducing your calories to less than 1/3 of what your body needs is putting yourself in a very dangerous situation and your body will begin to store fat just a bit of friendly advice

Felt like I shouldn't have really had the second noodle pot but it could have been worse. I went to the cinema tonight and then afterwards everyone went to a pizza/kebab restaurant - I didn't eat anything as there didn't appear to be anything that was suitable! Really wish I could get more work done and do some exercise... Aaahhh!

Yeh I did have wholemeal wraps but the shop had ran out when I went earlier in the week so had to settle for the white ones. You're right though - may try and bulk out wraps etc with some veg!
