Instant oatmeal
A few Tic Tacs
1 frozen dinner
Veggies with dip
1 pickle
1 large gummy candy
A large packed handful of Doritos
1 bowl rice
Some roasted duck
Some on choy
A couple of sips of frappuccino
Exercise: Walked 2.48 km
I didn't do so well today and it all started with eating the less
healthy frozen dinner instead of the lean cuisine-type meal with about
200 calories. I'm going to throw the rest of those dinners away to
create more room for the healthier versions. I don't know how to cook,
I think I should learn.
Tomorrow's plan:
Instant oatmeal
Lean cuisine-type dinner
A banana
Dinner with less than 200 g of rice
Exercise: Walk at least 2.48 kmCurrent weight: 118.6 lbs (guess I gained two pounds of water again)
Goal weight: 95
First mini goal: 110 lbsDeneb*

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Guacamole and chips
Some Pringles
Too much Bunny bread while I was cooking
A bit of meatloaf with vegetablesOh, and a snowball. Yes, yes, I know it was bad. But we hadn't been to the snowball stand all year. I got the second smallest one...

I found another place to post my food journal. I'm still writing down everything I eat. It's been 13 days now. I hope to do this for many months.
When I reach my first mini goal of 110 lbs, I'll post it here.

I posted that I was 110 lbs more than 2 weeks ago. Now I'm 112-113 lbs and have been for more than 2 weeks. I think the 110 lbs was a result of dehydration.
I'm averaging a bit over 1200 kcal/day right now. I have my binge days where I eat over 2000 kcal.
My weight loss has stalled. I'm going to try to reduce my intake to 1100 kcal/day. I really have to do this. My BMI is nearly 23 and for Asians anything over 23 is considered overweight. We actually start developing health problems above 23. I'm aiming for a BMI of about 19. 95 pounds would be just one pound underweight for me. It would be the perfect weight for me.
I'm going to try to go two whole weeks eating 1100 kcal or less per day. If I succeed I will reward myself by taking a bubble bath.

I ate too much again today. So far I've eaten 1344 kcal and I've yet to eat dinner. I think I'll eat a hard boiled egg for dinner.
I've decided to go on a 14 day 700 kcal low carb diet to hopefully get rid of my cravings and binges. Hopefully I will lose 5 pounds after the two weeks, with 3 pounds being fat.
I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow to buy some lean protein.
After the 14 days I plan to go back to my regular 1200 kcal/day way of eating that allows all foods.
I can do this! I must do this. I'm going to do this.
Starting right now, no more than 20 g of carbs per day.
I'm going to burn some fat!
I'm going to try to exercise 30 mins everyday.
Must burn fat!

> Deneb*Deneb, have you consulted your doctor about such a restricive caloric intake? From everything I've read, 1100 calories a day are not enough to sustain a healthy lifestyle. And I think that it's recommended that you increase your daily activities, are you exercising regularly?

You must also enjoy life. Going on the way you are is setting yourself up for major dissapointment, binges and no enjoyment from food at all.
Try to eat fruits and veggies throughout the day and allow yourself whatever treat you like in the day. The approach you are describing is not known to be a successful one. It might be that you just need to get to a gym and focus on toning, with weights, and not so much fat removal. Maybe you could go for a consult at a gym!

I should exercise more. I haven't really been exercising.
I don't feel hungry eating 1100 kcal a day. I'm not sure I need to eat more. Maybe if I take vitamins it will be OK?
When people are trying to lose weight, they usually eat 8X to 10X calories their weight. I weigh 112 lbs, so I should eat 1120 kcal/day. 8x would be too low for me.
No, I haven't consulted a doctor because I think my way of eating is pretty safe. My pdoc told me not to diet, but she doesn't realize how overweight I am. Plus she's a pdoc, not a GP.

You yourself have said that your pdoc doesn't think you should diet... why would you dismiss her opinion? Do you have a primary healthcare provider?I guess I see it as self-medicating; you have decided how many calories you should take in, and what BMI you should be - even though, I noticed, you are actually below the top end of the healthy range you quoted.
It would safer and better for your health if you would consult with a GP, or even better, a nutritionist on this, to prevent you developing a problem of any kind because of your drasticly changed eating behaviours.

I'm not that familiar with the ideal weight charts, but you sound far from overweight.
You might feel better overall if you cut out junk food and balanced your diet between proteins and carbohydrates, with lots of fruits and veggies and plenty of hydration. Combined with some exercise. I bet your skin would glow and you would be beautiful in good health, and you would naturally fall into a weight that is attractive on you. And it might help other aspects of your functioning.
I can't imagine that an extremely low calorie diet is helping your study habits. If I tried to live on that many calories a day, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on work for ten minutes at a time.
I think it would be not only healthier, but lead to a more beautiful Deneb, to try to be rounded in your diet and in your lifestyle.
I know. Do as I say, not as I do. :) But I'm going to try. Really. I'd kind of like to be prettier myself.

P.S.
Not that I'm saying you aren't lovely just as you are. Because you are. You're quite lovely from your pictures, and look neither under nor over weight. But at your weight, you can't be trying to lose for health reasons, so I imagine your goal is to look as attractive as you possibly can be.
I often try to look as unattractive as possible. :(
