Will Tomorrow be Better Than Today?

I have two days of eating to report on. Yesterday was not a good day. Come to think of it today was not a good day either. But anyways, yesterday I was running late and had no time to stop and get coffee, which is good. But then I ended up eating a McChicken meal around 11, which is bad. I got the sandwich with no lettuce and it looked like they used a fourth cup of Mayo on that thing. Instead of scraping some of it off I licked it up. Disgusting. Mayo in theory to me is nasty, but in reality I love it, love it, love it.

Then for lunch, (you might ask me what the McDonalds was and I would reply "breakfast of course"), for lunch I had pasta, spicy red sauce which they sauté with 2 ounces of butter (to get the sauce to stick to the pasta) chicken and buffalo mozzarella. Sprinkled with a couple ounces of pecorino romano of course. I had a bowl of ice cream with Chocolate ganache for dessert. I skipped dinner (like I saved myself some calories) and opted to just finish the bag of baked lays and drink a couple cokes.

Today I started off good by not stopping at Dunkin Donuts to get a Cappuccino Blast. However I ended up at work ten minutes early so I went to the Starbucks across the street and got a Venti White Chocolate Mocha. I know it is still summery out but this morning it was raining so it seemed like a hot coffee day. It was so velvety smooth on my lips…. Anyways, later on someone offered to go to McDonalds again and I ended up eating the same exact thing as yesterday, a McChicken meal. Only this time they gave us an extra sandwich so Barbie and I split it. So she ate fries, coke a double fish filet sandwich and half of a McChicken! The difference between her and I? She weighs about one hundred pounds and five pounds of that is probably her long hair! I hate skinny girls!

Later I had pasta, chicken, mushrooms, cream, marsala wine, and Parmesan cheese. Yummy that was good. I did not eat the whole dish though the pasta is too much. I only ate it until the mushrooms and chicken where gone and a few more spoonfuls of sauce. For dinner, I had four pastor tacos with cilantro, onion and lime juice and a couple cokes to wash it down.

The things I pick at are the hardest to remember. Both days I had a piece of chicken scaloppini, snickers crumbles and individual bowtie pasta dipped in lemon butter sauce (to make sure it was made correctly of course). Tomorrow I think I will work on not picking at anything and go from there. Maybe if I start with baby steps!

all that pasta you're describing is making me hungry.

Follow the zen/purity diet...

Eat until you're 70% full. Eat small portions whenever you get PHYSICALLY hungry, not really emotionally or psychologically hungry or needy. Eat veggies, chicken, fish, etc...you're aiming to get your body used to the feeling of GOOD food that is pure and comes straight from earth, that doesn't load your body down and processes easily. It'll make your body feel pure and good, like you're in balance i.e. zen.

Then comes the best part of the purity diet, but do it in moderation: When you have a desire for something more fattening, a desire so intense that it's 'pure'...just eat it...but again in moderation.

Best of luck. This is what I do, after eating emotionally for years. I still eat emotionally and pick things to eat that wouldn't be the best for me..but I can try to balance it out later with exercise and better food...I get hungry every 3 hours after following this, and my metabolism increased.

Try feeling zen!

I had a Zen diet once smothered in grease, deep fried, and injected into my bloodstream like a karmaic donut dream...
