Eating again... probably in the triple digits... I haven't weighed myself in awhile and honestly haven't thought about it. I'm not sure I want to know. I want to continue not caring as I've been doing. My diet is pretty steady, though my dietician tells me I need more dairy and way more fruits/veg. I do get her POV but I really don't want to increase what I'm eating. My day at home usually looks something like this:

Breakfast: 1-1.5 cups cereal with at least 1 cup milk
Coffee with milk and/or cream and Splenda
Diet Pepsi with my meds

Lunch: Some sort of sandwich (2 grains and 0.5-1 protein, and if it's a fake meat sandwich I use mayo so that would be 1 fat)
A piece of fruit
An individual size Greek yogurt
Probably more diet soda

If I have an afternoon snack it might be junk food (like a chocolate bar or a Jos Louis or some cookies) or it might be like a granola bar and fruit, or a granola bar and yogurt, or whatever the hell I have in the house that seems good as a snack.

Supper: 1 protein and 1.5-2 grains. Usually this comes in the form of 4 chick'n nuggets and fries, or 2 veggie dog weiners and fries. I'm trying to make myself have pasta with my soy ground "beef" but so far it hasn't worked yet. Sometimes I have dessert... or within an hour or two I'll probably have chocolate if I didn't have it at snack already.

Evening snack: Again it could be anything. Is junk food most of the time, though, because at night is when I tend to want junk. My dietician wants me to start having cereal and milk for an evening snack and sometimes I do this out of sheer laziness. (Or sometimes I have cereal and milk for supper as well as breakfast because cooking seems like "too much" so I just don't bother.)

I mean, I don't think my meal plan is THAT bad. Yes I do need more fruit and veg but I really don't care about the dairy... and the fruit and veg is harder because it's so stupidly expensive. And again with not wanting to increase my portions anywhere. I feel like I am eating plenty!!!! Maybe a snack needs to become something that includes fruit or veg... *sigh*

Whatever. I'm doing a lot better than I was and I seem to be making progress mentally as well (better concentration, more interest in stuff, etc) so I think this is actually going decently well. Maybe someday I'll be able to accept more increases as a permanent part of my mealplan (instead of just sometimes when I'm out, or whatever). Maybe....
