I do not know why I do it but every once in a while I suffer from self sabotage. I will go for about 1½ weeks – eating right, now I am even exercising. Than wham I eat a double cheese burger meal.

I had to go out of my way to get it too so that is not good.

I am eating Vegan because my body does not process animal products very well. I will get blotted and feel very bad physically for a few days after eating this. It is seriously not good.

I do not beat myself up for the mistake – I k...

Thursday, 29 April 2010 13:39 Most of us know what foods to choose - and which to avoid - when trying to lose weight. But the average American gets one-fifth of his or her calories from drinks, so it pays to take a look at the liquid refreshment you choose. It's especially important to stay hydrated when it's hot outside, so keep drinking…wisely. The clear diet drink winner is, of course, water. It's the best way to keep your body cool and hydrated, your tum...

Let me start out by saying that I do not agree with all of these rules. I am switching my eating plan to totally vegan – so I have chosen not to eat any animal products. This was done for reasons other than weight/fat loss. I know and understand that this is not the choice made by everyone will make the same choice so the section about meat was left in the original article.

I have discovered that I feel much better when I eat Vegan. As long as i eat at home this works great but when I eat out I mostly have to modify the email (asking for no meat) and go vegetarian.

I have found a web site that has a great program for starting to eat vegan

I ended up eating food I should not have (Crab and cheese) but still did not do too bad. (Only about 500 Calories but lots of bbutter and fat)

As I was paying I found out I can order the sides (roasted potatoes ect). Now I know next time what Iwill eat.

Ok – it has been a week since I ate badly. I got my eating back on track by Tuesday. I have still felt a bit tired and constipated all week.

Today that seems to be going away. I have read that it is bad to take a lot of products to help with elimination so I have just keep drinking my water and eating health in the hopes that my body will get back on track.

It has taken a week but I am finally feeling my body get back to the way it should be.

At least I now know what will happen if I ...

I really blew the eating this weekend. I started eating poorly (with McD hashbrowns on Thursday and ending with Sundays dinner of french fries and a funnel cake). I know I did not gain any good points.

Worst than that I did not drink my water.

When I got up on Monday I was feeling really bad – bloated with a heavy stomach.

By the end of Tuesday – when I had got my eating back under control – I had lost 1 pound and was feeling much better.

My daughter and I went out to lunch yesterday. Instead of the side salad (vinaigrette dressing) and fruit with an English muffin (plain – add a little jelly) I had planed I got a boca burger with no cheese and french fries. The planed meal would have been about 400 calories, 10 g Fat, 61 g carbs and 6 g protein.

The meal eaten was 770 calories 15 g fiber, 34 g fat, 107 carbs.

The result – I was too full, did not get in all the health food I normally have in the afternoon. Snack is ...
