Starting over after not journaling for at least a year!
I've decided because my parents are coming on Friday for a month, I will need help...they can trigger stress which causes me to over-eat!

I have been doing well for the past couple of years, working out and keeping control of my eating. I should be proud of myself, but still the fear of gaining weight lingers. I am probably the same size I was in high school, but it lingers....

Today I ate;

breakfast: cereal-half Vive, half All Bran with skim milk, 2 cups of coffee, calcium chew.

lunch: ovaltine shake with skim milk/banana, ww bagel with low cal berry jam, calcium chew

snack: 3 fig newtons

dinner: jamaican rice/beans, 3 bean salad, ww bagel with lite veggie cream cheese.

snack: mango and a few low-fat crackers, camomille tea.

water: 9 bottles

I did an interval-training workout and an ab workout.

Didn't get out much today as it's FREAKIN humid here...didn't want to leave the a/c!!!!!

My parents arrive tonight...I feel the anxiety...I feel like I want to eat everything in sight...but I am determined to keep control here...they don't like it when I take the time to work-out during the day...but I have to...I am just gonna have to work around it...take that hour for myself...insist!!!!!

Serenity now, insanity later........
