QOTD 9/27/2011

Right now I am not on any type of exercise plan however i do TRY to eat healthy. I generally tend to do well the first half of the day and i progressively eat worse toward the night. Last night i find myself indulging in a box of Mallowmars!! So i ask you, what is your weakness when it comes to healthy living and do you have any tips to stay on track? I cave for cookies and ice cream!!

Nights are my downfall too! I am great at work bc I pack my 'feedbag' and usually dont deviate from it.

I love ice cream so much. *sigh*

Oh, and edited to add that I stay on track when I either work out at night and am NOT home, or brush my teeth early. It does work!

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

Funny you said that about the Mallomars because I bought a box too, knowing I should not have!!

For me, a big problem is snacks at night. I can be SO good during the day, but when I'm sitting around watching tv all I want to do is eat! And it's usually ice cream or cookies that I want!

Or if I am out to eat .. of course I want something that sounds delish, and it's usually not the healthiest item on the menu!!

I have no good tips to stay on track except never leave the home because I always end up eating outside. So difficult to stay on track. When I go food shopping I try to buy only healthy snacks and not buy anything fattening for the house.

I am a total junk food junkie! I love to snack, which is a problem since I'd rather snack on chips or jelly beans than vegetables. I also love ice cream and I refuse to ever give it up. The other issue at our house is we're lazy/tired and order in a lot. It's just easier most of the time, but the choices are not always the best.

Im a night time eater as well... anything sweet or chocolatey are definitely my down falls.

WW really helps me stay on track. When I see everything I ate on paper it really helps me to not eat stuff I shouldnt.

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

It's SO hard to stay on track!! I love food and when the food is in the house, it's hard to say no. So I try my hardest to keep cookies and ice cream and other treats out of the house. If FH and I are absolutely craving ice cream, we'll run to friendlys or carvel and just get one cup or share something so we don't overindulge.

Also, we are big with treating ourselves on the weekend. So if you are craving a brownie, just make it a point to wait til Saturday and have one for dessert!!

I've always found depriving yourself never works. Nor does getting overly upset for eating too many desserts. I always just try better the next day

Oh and my downfall more than treats is I love going out to dinner! It's just so unhealthy and everything I want at restaurants are loaded with calories!!!!

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

during the week while at work i'm golden, its the damn weekends that i gotta worry about. especially now with football season, all the wings, chips and dip and beer..... i'm in trouble!

i got a cal. counter on my ipod that i;ve been using and i can finally start working out again so i plan on starting that up again.
used to do WW but dont like the new program and dont have the money for that now. but still trying to live by those rules.

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

everything is my weakness...and work has been hell so i've been working late with no time for gym. :(

but food-wise, it would be the little things that add up...ranch, sourcream, cheese. Don't really need them to enjoy what i'm eating and could probably cut sooo many calories if I gave them up. lol

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

My guilty pleasure is ice cream! Therefore, I just don't buy any. As long as it's not in the house, I can't eat it. Poor FH but I don't care..lol

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

I love CHEESE <3333333

I weigh myself everyday so I do not let myself get off track too much. If I see myself gaining weight too fast then I calm down my eating a bit

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

Icecream! I literally sometimes eat it for breakfast!

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

I LOVE pita chips and hummus. Honestly it is so good but so bad for me. I should probably switch to a more healthy dipping food like carrots instead of pita chips

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

I'm so glad you asked this because I have been struggling with this and I'm so happy to hear I am not alone.

During the day I'm great! I fill my lunch bag with healthy foods, lots of fruit, salad for lunch, 100 cal snacks and big bottle of water. Everything is good till I get home....

I'm such a snacker! I move from snack to snack before dinner and look for something sweet after dinner too. My weaknesses are the 4 C's: chips, cookies, chocolate and cheese. And its bad when I have all 4 in the house at the same time

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

I find I eat at night too! I'm a huge dessert person. I haven't been on track for healthy eating in a while and really need to get back in the swing of things.

Re: QOTD 9/27/2011

I quit smoking just over a year ago, and Taco Bell and McDonalds were nice enough to support me with cheesy gordita crunches and chicken nuggets and then they snuck into my house and shrunk all of my pants.

I also found out that the amount of calories in my Starbucks are between 250 and 350 calories so I've cut myself down from one a day to 1 a week

When I manage to stay on track it's when I stay mindfull of what I'm eating, no eating in the car is my biggest rule.
