My doctor says I can start running. Been wanting to since I was 13 but couldn’t. Just gotta find some good running shoes now.

My mom annoys me sometimes. Last night she said “your eating soup and you just had a TV dinner?!” The TV dinner had 350 calories, and the soup had 140 calories per can. The only other thing I had to eat yesterday was 2 fruit snacks. I was still less than 1200 calories for the entire day after dinner. She’ll sometimes eat entire bags of potato chips in one sitting and I won’t say anything. It just annoys me that’s all. Plus I don’t think it’s very healthy for the thoughts I’m dealing with. I for sure needed both the TV dinner and soup last night.

I lost 8 lbs. I'm really happy about that. I had been feeling better so I stepped on the scale. I'll continue with eating well. Exercise is another story. I never have the energy.

I had about 1,240 calories today. I may have been a bit off since I had some of my calories at 1AM. So I’m pretty hungry right now.

I really like the banquet Salisbury steak TV dinners. I’ve been having them the last coulple of nights. My old therapist who was kind of heavy and liked to eat and never was talking to me about what I should eat, she wasn’t critical at all, said I shouldn’t be eating Banquet TV dinners. Yeah they are pretty unhealthy. I just like the Salisbury steak ones and the chicken tender ones with the brownie.

I had a rough night. I was sleep eating. I don't know why I do that. I had turkey, cheese and muffins. I feel full now. I'm sort of disgusted with myself. I don't know if I'm not eating enough the day before. I don't do it all the time. But on the days when I eat too light, I'll make up for it at night. I will try to do better today.

I’m officially out of the overweight category according to my BMI and in the normal weight range for my height! 😃

I went on my first run in 11 years this morning. It felt amazing. I got super winded basically immediately but I did make it around the block. I stopped once for about 15 seconds and walked. It took me 6 minutes and I burned 44 calories. I feel like that is a lot for just 6 minutes. My goal is to get to 5 miles several times a week. Today my intake calories will equal to about 1,250.

Id say thats in the ballpark. My rule of thumb for walking is 100 calories = 15 minutes = 1 mile. So you did about half of that? "They say" that the amount of actual work you do, whether you run or walk, is the same, its just how much time it takes.

It still felt great and I feel like running will be my path to weight loss and serenity. I’m glad I finally can now.

I did some more stress eating last night. I ate grapes, cheese and muffins. I threw the rest of the muffins away. I just can't have junk food in the house. I feel angry with myself. Though I know I should show myself some compassion. I will make sure I have a decent dinner before going to bed tonight.

I didn’t do too bad today. My new meds are a nightmare. I had coffee for breakfast and a Little Debbie Christmas tree, some chicken tenders for lunch, and some popcorn for a snack. I only had one soda, lately I have had 3 or 4 a day. I’m not too hungry for dinner. I’ve had all my usual meds and then some. Somethings wrong just not sure what yet.

I've been mindful of what I eat. And I've been sleeping better at night, which helps me with my stress eating. I'm not able to move around that well because of a foot injury. So exercise is not possible at the moment. I will just continue watching what I eat.

I got on the scale this morning and I’ve lost weight since the last time I’ve weighed myself. Which is weird since my meds have been making me so hungry.

I managed to lose 24 lbs in about 2 months. I’m not sure how per se. But I bought a pumpkin roll last night so god help me.

I lost 5 more lbs for a total of 13 lost so far. I feel pretty excited and very motivated. I feel much better. And it's easier to get around. I'm under 300 lbs now. So I'm very grateful!

695 calories in so far. Dinner will be 490 calories making it just under 1200. I took an almost 2 mile walk this afternoon. 1.97 miles. Burned 204 calories. I am not in shape but it’s much much easier exercising now that I’ve had my surgery. I was not wiped out at all like I would have been before.

I’ve had just about 1200 calories. I didn’t do any exercise. My weight is about the same.

I ate well today. I didn't exercise. I slept most of the day.

I cut out regular soda and coffee. You sure can eat a lot more when your not drinking a big 470 calorie coffee. My calories equaled to around 1200 today. I stopped taking my antidepressant because I didn’t like the hunger side effect.

I decided to try a plant-based diet. I'm gradually cutting meat out. I'll have some cheese and eggs. But mainly I will eat fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. I'm hoping it helps me lose weight and get healthier. I will also make an effort to do chair aerobics every other day. I really want to do better.

I am still off 2 of my meds. Boy do they make a difference in my appetite. Lately I’ve just had English muffins, bran and corn muffins, apple butter, canned ham, Atkin products, and cereal. I haven’t gotten any fast food in about a week. Haven’t gotten coffee either. Just unsweetened iced teas with flavors and Splenda from Sonic. I also haven’t had any soda in 3 days.
