I have not been eating as much as I need to the past few days. What I do eat is not as balanced as I'd like. I know that with the 3 or 4 significant stresses these past couple months, I am just having a hard time getting into my food. This is not usual for me. I generally eat over my plan and have to make a big effort to portion control.
Here is what I ate yesterday:
B- my usual- 2 c whole grain cereal and skim milk
S- skipped
L- 1 oz cheese (eaten shreadded from the bag in front of the fridge) and 10 baked chips (ate in front of pantry.)
S- skipped
D-3 bites pizza, 4 fries and a few bites of apple crisp- we went to TGIF.

Today:
B- cereal and milk
S- skipped
L- made a whole individual veggie pizza and ate most of it- threw some out.
D- have nothing planned- thought I'd give Sophia a sandwich. This is not like me.

I need to get back into my good pattern. I know it will help me in terms of stress reduction.

Sandy,

Considering what you're going through, you don't really seem to be doing too badly. I agree w/ Bee, don't add stress to your life by worrying too much about what you are eating.

That being said though, eating the way you normally do, and having a plan, may help you feel more normal, and maybe you need some "normalcy" (if that's a word) in your life.

Try to make a plan, and try to stick with it, but don't beat yourself up if you don't.

Please try not to be too hard on yourself. You have so much going on right now.
Just try to get enough nutrition right now because you will need the fuel to get you through the stress.



Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
