food

the thing about eating healthier? all i think about is food.

on thursday, day six of my staycation and for the SECOND time in six days, i ate an entire bag of old dutch ketchup chips (the 225 g bag) in one sitting. two things occurred to me, as i licked that delicious, tangy, red chemical-seasoning off my fingers:

a) i am obviously having some undiscovered issues that i'm dealing with by eating; and
b) it's time to start being accountable for my eating habits again.

so, i counted my calories for thursday and did the initial weigh-in and measurements. i've gained 7 lbs since january, although my measurements haven't changed too much.

i've been pretty good about not bingeing, although that half-eaten bag of ketchup chips that still in the cupboard was calling me today. i staved off the craving by munching on chocolate-covered macadamia nuts (only 4 - that's 98 calories - oh, god, i'm becoming one of Those People).

i've also been doing TV exercises - a mixed-bag of weights, yoga, cardio and boxing. not all at the same time.

all i really want to do is melt off some of the fat i've gained in the mid-section. the reason i got the stupid navel ring was so that i could keep myself in check. after all, a navel ring isn't sexy if it's trapped in between layers of stomach fat. oh, i just shuddered at the mental picture.

my other motivation? the sexy dress i got for the Christmas party this year. it'll be hard to act like Crush should be eating his heart out when i'm too busy eating everyone's leftovers and wishing i had worn a empire-waist dress instead of a sheath cut.

time to count today's TCI.
