I am sicker today and slept most of the day. I started on vitamins with breakfast and have been taking Zicam. Today I ate only 800 cals of food and 250 of juice or so. No exercise. The bad news is I finally weighed myself and I totally wish I had not!!! I weigh a lot more than I predicted. I haven't weighed in for a few months and since my clothes fit about the same I thought I couldn't have gained too much. I need to weigh again because I think something was fishy! Anyway I am trying to find lower calories choices for breakfast and lunch and trying to stay away from candy and desserts. I have a problem with cookies and brownies. Even when I make safe ones they are so many calories. I also want to exercise harder but already do it for as much time as I have. I am going to try to eek out more time when I get better and maybe exercise twice a day. It is very hard for me to lose weight because I already do everything I should pretty much and I need to eat so often. Please wish me luck!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Steph, don't think of a chocolate bar as falling off the wagon. It seems like your calories are low enough the rest of the day that you can handle a little sin, haha... as long as you don't screw up your guts, of course.
*I* think you did fine today.

Breakfast : a muffinm a small one though Lunch: Small portion of penne pasta and rataouille and chili sauce mushrooms in work canteen Snacks: some crackers, 4 gummi bears and one chocolate caramel. I got home late and had a hard day at work- so I hunted for CHOCOLATE and ate it(2 teenie bars that are 200 cals altogether- my tummy felt all gurgly and yuck afterwards as I wasn't at all hungry when I ate it), diet 7up (doesn't bother me )
Dinner: Went to wagamama and had Chicken Tama Rice (chicken tama rice chargrilled chicken with egg, ginger and wine sauce, courgettes and shiitake mushrooms. served with japanese style rice )and a fruit juice
Exercise: None, working late and just shattered, have a sore throat/sinus thing going on too and my asthma isn't great so feeling just a bit wrecked.
So calorie wise I burned more than I ate (barely) but am not in the weight loss zone. No surprises. Must be good again.

cinnamon life w/ a tiny bit of lite soy milk 1/2 c apple sauce (unsweetened - always the case, but i realized i never say so)
1/2 fake bologna sandwich (on white, w/ reduced fat mayo)
microwave-baked sweet potato
oatmeal
mushrooms & tofu in hoisin sauce w/ white rice
amy's soy cheese pizza (2 servings - 3 per pie, 290 cal each ) teddy grahams
wednesdays are tough. i work till ten, and though i get dinner around six, i get home tired and hungry. i intended to only have one piece of pizza, but not-quite-full and tired and wanting to relax, i had another, and then the teddy grahams. (didn't even count those - straight from the box. probably at least two servings.) i think it also had to do with a generally low-calorie day until then. (after the nighttime eating, i think i was around 2100 or so calories.) so how to not have this happen again – make sure i eat enough during the day on wednesdays, and choose a more satisfying, less calorie-dense nighttime snack. (also, the soy cheese pizza, though delicious, probably shouldn't be bought again – even on a different day, it would've been hard to stop at one 290-calorie serving. it's also just higher fat than i need.) i did, though, to make up for things a bit, drag myself out of bed this morning, even though it was on less that six hours of sleep, for the gym, which i probably wouldn't have done without the pizza & teddy grahams. not a perfect fix, but making up for what i can.

Hey Guys,
I've been having really bad attacks lately, so I feel like I need to start posting again.
*toaster waffles with whipped vegan butter and raspberries
*avocado sandwich on flax bread, carrot sticks, pita chips, and hummus
*luna bar, decaf coffee with soy milk
*baked sweet potato, cup of split pea soup, and a small salad, with blackberry sorbet for dessert
I don't know how I manage to eat so much when I'm in so much pain...

I am worried about, but the other stuff.. 1) I think my calories are def too low 2) No HEALTHY food 3) Packaged food.
When I am exercising, and trying to eat healthy I don't really beat myself up about chocolate 'cause I know that is my big weakness but I can't do the other stuff AND have the chocolate.
Oh well! I appreciate the encouragement very much, I am doing better so far today.. despite being real sore from the dentist, argh!
Cheers, --Steph

Perhaps, Julia, you might consider modifying your diet if you are having "really bad attacks lately" ?
Personally, I don't see a quantity problem. In fact all the foods you listed are quite healthy, although some sound like major attack triggers (i.e. flax bread, the high IF content of the berries, the fat content of avocado & vegan butter, hummus, split pea soup). If you're not feeling stable, your body might enjoy at the very least a modified BTC diet.

Hey, chocolate (the real stuff!) is highly anti-oxidant, Stephie! However, if I were to indulge, I'd definitely hold out for the good stuff versus a chocolate bar as a quick energy fix.
Maybe a little planning re: lunch to keep your energy steady/stable?

Hey Kate,
First of all, I really appreciate the way you respond to everyone's posts...you are always so helpful, yet so gentle and sweet!
I know I really should be cutting out some of the higher fat and IF foods from my diet right now, but I am having a lot of difficulty regaining weight that I lost during my struggle with an eating disorder, and my nutritionist has cautioned me to stay away from the BTC diet, even in the short term...however, I'm sure there are some slight alterations I could make in my diet that may make a difference. For example, the berries definitely have to go--even though they're nutritious, they give me a lot of pain, and they're not very high in calories. Avocados have never given me problems (my triggers tend to be more of the IF foods like apples, broccoli, whole wheat, etc.) but I think I'm going to have to switch the bread for that sandwich, and see if it makes a difference.
Again, thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post and offer your suggestions...I read your posts all the time, and I really appreciate your presence on this board!
-------------------- Julia

Maybe you could work the berries into a smoothie? Add a banana or some rice milk? Compliment them with some angelfood cake? I know--it's hard to find calories & meet at least your basal metabolic weight with stuff that doesn't make you sick.
Maybe more SF sources during the day and veggies that sound a little more safely prepared might ease the attacks? Less avocado and more SF with the avocado? (Use it as a sweet potato or potato topper? A divine sandwich spread?)
The only way I was able to gain weight from my ED was via tube feeding. You do eat very healthfully & I admire the colour & nutrients within your menus! Perhaps some sort of beverage/safe liquid supplementation might ease/assist your weight gain program?
Kate.
