Notes on today

Just a short one, but I thought I'd write up my intake for today. I haven't felt confident enough to do that in a long while. For some reason I wasn't hungry all afternoon. Even when I ate dinner I felt like I could have done without it. Either way, 

-2 rusk biscuits and 1 mashed banana with 100ml skim milk and 1tbsp gooseberry yogurt, 300cal (this is my new favourite breakfast. I let the rusks soak with the banana in hot milk, then microwave it for 30 seconds and eat it with a tiny bit of yogurt. Yummy)
-Diet coke, 0cal
-1/2 cup orange juice, 50cal 
-Soy cappuccino with 2 pumps vanilla, 120cal
-Caesar salad, 250cal
-1/2 bar milk chocolate, 250cal
Total: 970cal 

I know it's not particularly impressive, but it's the best intake I've had in weeks. I could have done without the chocolate, I know, but weirdly enough having a couple of cubes at night stops me from bingeing on loads of other carb-y crap. Considering there's wholemeal bread, peanut butter and cereal bars in the house, which on a regular night I would probably just gobble up mindlessly, I think I did pretty well. 

The trick seems to be eating a filling, healthy breakfast, then surviving on coffee, juice and cigarettes until dinner time. It's easy to avoid lunch when you wake up at midday, and no one's home until 5pm. Eating alone during the day has totally depressed me recently. It just reminds me that I feel lonely already. Eating alone, when lonely, is just too depressing for words. 

I need another hobby besides what I do and don't put in my mouth. I need to start writing again, properly this time. And I need Alfie back in my life. Where is he? Who knows.

  1. What an interesting idea for breakfast! I love creative foodie ideas.
    Under 1,000 is still a great intake, especially if you've been eating more recently. I think it's always best to have what you really want, like chocolate, than trying to drown out a craving eating everything-but-chocolate.
