View SUNSHINEANGEL54961's food & exercise for this day
First blog:
I started the program yesterday 3-10-07. Didn't reach my calorie target or my nutrition requirements. This is harder than I thought it would be as far as what to chose to eat with what I can afford to buy, and what I am able to eat as I don't have teeth. Normally I know I way over eat but I think I am over compensating now. Recording the foods I eat is proving to be quite a challenge as well. Will be doing a before pic after getting my hair highlighted today. Not looking forward to the pic as I hate having my pic taken due to the weight and the lack of teeth. My self esteem stinks. Really hoping to be able to do something about that with this program. I need this weightloss more than anyone could know, still can't believ that is me in the mirror..that big fat blob. I was so thin before. In my own defense, I had alot of help getting where I am with my weight. Being disabled and not able to walk much or do much in the way of exercise, the surgeries I have had to recover from helped me gain some weight. And worst of all, the deppo shot I was on really piled on the lbs along with alot of the meds I am on. Not making excuses, I did plenty towards this myself too....praying.

Im with the others try not to be too hard on yourself.. try to think positive.. think of all your good points focus on those more. I know it sounds cheezy but positive thinking is way better than negative thinking.
:)
:) and Hang in there. Come here for as much support as you need there are some great people here that will cheer you on or just listen to you vent 
:)
As for not meeting your Calorie or Nutritional requirement dont stress yet your still learning somthing new..... I did NOT meet my calorie or Nutritional Requirment the first week I did this either, it take some adjustment.
I still dont meet my Nutritional requirements (i dont eat meat so Protein is my issue) but Im learning and working on it. This is a learning process.. for the rest of your life (i know that may sound daunting, but it gets easier as you go along trust me
recording foods can be tough at first, but it is VERY important and if you keep it up soon it becomes a habit. I carry a small notebook with me so I can write down everytime I put something in my mouth. because practically we are not always near our computers, I can then transfer it to my online diary when I get a chance and not have to go by memory (which would be a dangerous thing for me LOL).
Keep Praying
we all need an outlet sometimes.
All the best
