Pledge - Day 11

Didn't get a chance to update last night. I wasn't feeling great and just wanted to watch TV and not think about this!

Breakfast was the same as yesterday (cereal and a banana):


Lunch was similar to yesterday (turkey and tomato on a 100% whole wheat bagel, veggies and hummus, a cup of strawberries and grapes):


Snack - string cheese and a clementine:


I started to feel pretty crappy as work ended and actually fell asleep on the train and missed my stop! When I got home I just crawled into my bed to read and let some advil kick in. I suddenly started to get extreme urges for comfort food. It came as a pretty big surprise how strongly I associated feeling badly with eating. I really tried to fight it but I ended up grabbing a handful of cheese sticks and a handful of chocolate chips and eating them quickly. It's so stupid -- like that doesn't make me feel better. Actually it made me feel worse and guilty. I know it wasn't even close to the terrible damage I could have done but it was still upsetting.

I waited about an hour then made a real dinner. I had a bowl of turkey chili with some cheese and tortilla chips crumbled on top.


I'm working from home today so I'm curious to see if that makes eating easier or harder. We shall see!

  1. You've gotta change up the picture a little bit.... all your blogs just look like soggy brown cereal!

    Cheese sticks and chocolate chips??? That's not comfort food silly! Definitely not the worst but why dont you have like a bowl of whole wheat pasta or a can of chickarina when you get that craving... I find something hot always helps.

    Hope you're feeling better!!! What was wrong??

    1. Haha well that's what it is -- soggy brown cereal!

      Weirdly enough cheese sticks are comforting for me cause they remind me of home. Chickarina soup is a big one but I didn't have any!

      I'm feeling alright...I'm not sure what's wrong, just feeling a little off the past few days. It almost feels like I'm on the verge of getting sick but not quite there yet.
