Well Ive let myself go

I haven't said no to anything chocolate, cake, sweets deep fried food absolutely anything for the last 7 days and I reckon I ve put on at least 5 lbs. So this is my first day without chocolate or deep fried food. I am going cold turkey.And do you know I wasn't hungry half the time I ate the food. If It could be described as food?I ate one sweet then another. Couldn't really get enough. Sat down and grazed. Well what happened I put on weight and I suffered internally.(ie I felt like crap). So today when I'm hungry outside meals I have fruit lots of fruit. Starting tomorrow I'm gonna start a food diary. Date,time,location,company, level of hunger (1-5) food and liquid, level of satisfaction (1-5).
Anytime I get hungry I will also make a note in order to see what signals food hunger to grade whether genuine or cravings.
I'm gonna stick to food intolerance plan for my food.(or to the best of my ability)
And half an hour exercise.
Im gonna start a new plan of action for the new year....

Weigh In

Well I am still 16 stone 1 lb still haven't done a fat percentage. Have to get organised. Today I have a food hangover. I went out for a meal with suppliers and colleagues. I had lobster(first time ever),4 different types of bread, fillet steak(sauce,garlic potatoes and Christmas pudding with ice-cream. That's a lot of food, a lot of different tastes and it was late at night. So today I am suffering. I feel as if I had been drinking.Also did I mention I have had only 11 hours sleep between the two nights. So everything is going against me. All self inflicted.Still that was the last Christmas party. I am officially finished for the year. Starting again today....

Should I take a break for Christmas?

I had a colonostomy Tuesday. All clear except for a small fissure which I have to discuss with the surgeon during the 2nd week of January. So they recommend water,fruit and fibre.I was thinking of having a break for Christmass, but how long is Christmass it is really only one day ie the 25th of December. So I will take a break that day. So I intend to try have fruit and homemade fruit juice(as prescribed by the food intolerance diet) in the mornings, only one main meal with a large portions of vegetables. Minimun amounts of desserts(fruit only if possible).

I thought about food combining, but it seems to be a little bit unfounded.I have seen it in other diets(which were not exactly healthy). Still it might be worth two weeks attempt.
Well I haven't weighed myself this week yet....I will do it tomorrow.

Weight In

Well today as expected... I didnt lose weight......I gained 1 lb... I am now 225 lbs or 16stone 1lb. This is due to my eating habits of the last week. I think I will have to maintain a food diary for the next 3 weeks.Christmas can have a bad effect on the weight.There are always lots of opportunity to gain weight....So if I eat, I will write it down.I think I will have to organise a diary.I will have to research it and decide what I will write, well other than food for example mood, times or location and Im gonna go back to the weightwatchers point method. So I'm gonna start today.

Self-Inflicted Food poisoning

Sunday night and Tuesday night I poisoned myself.
I ate at McDonalds on sunday nite.... I felt sick the next day and had a bad taste in my mouth.
Well I had damn all to eat all day was working 6am to 2pm that day and I my eating patterns were all over the place. Lesson learned.
I bought my girlfriend, her son and my nephews to cinema the I had nachos and.... I bought funsize packets of sweets (chocolate) for the nephews. Of course what did I do... I ate about 6. I know from my experience that chocolate affects my bowel movements. So I havent really recovered yet. I have experienced severe discomfort since then.Tomorrow I will be ok
Why do I put myself through this everytime, I know its is bad for me, and it doesnt taste that nice. What makes me eat this shit.....
I dont expect to have lost any weight this week.....
