Anyways, with a party comes tons of food and cake... which i took no part of at all! thats right, not one chip, one slice of pizza, on sliver of cake, NOTHING!<br /><br />breakfast- Strawberry shortcake yogurt<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-791LczLHldamtRLuuZNj8n_nvAm_CIRy89ifeBy-gqbpnLlDpysypyW7c41EGDYJLiawZ72EyIFRMqjz_swgV4Mek49zz-qWaBwG0Bn8irQr8l_WFXkzXKXjG3_8aiquSxY9MWmWOhM/s1600-h/dougs+birthday.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-791LczLHldamtRLuuZNj8n_nvAm_CIRy89ifeBy-gqbpnLlDpysypyW7c41EGDYJLiawZ72EyIFRMqjz_swgV4Mek49zz-qWaBwG0Bn8irQr8l_WFXkzXKXjG3_8aiquSxY9MWmWOhM/s400/dougs+birthday.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br />lunch- we grabbed some Chick-fil-A on the way in to Cleveland (per dougs request)... i had the points so I enjoyed a Chick-fil-A chicken sandich with medium fries. sooooooooooo good!<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9dERZo5EMSaPlz0ixNMzxjR8yxCItsU-uj8XdMinTurYeMOKAnwRLOQzru9s8GloSL7ZqZVPtN0mleGeMXOcGRz4R9XWnml6xtO07w_m_IUImIA2ASvdiHNNkeQNMeMBxT_bX2x737ZU/s1600-h/dougs+birthday1.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9dERZo5EMSaPlz0ixNMzxjR8yxCItsU-uj8XdMinTurYeMOKAnwRLOQzru9s8GloSL7ZqZVPtN0mleGeMXOcGRz4R9XWnml6xtO07w_m_IUImIA2ASvdiHNNkeQNMeMBxT_bX2x737ZU/s400/dougs+birthday1.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br />dinner- this was tough. we had the party room at laser tag which was filled with pizza and pop... i can't tell you how good it smelled and looked.... and i debated the whole time we were there but decided not to dig in. so during the way back to dougs house we made a side trip to subway so i could pick up something that i was able to fit into my points, as i knew there would be nothing but cake and goodies.

theres that feeling again... sort of.yup, this week hasn't been a good one. i could easily say it has been and pretend i ate fabulous this week... but the truth is i didn't write everything down, i didn't weigh everything out... and sometimes i weighed stuff out and kept right on pouring long after i hit the serving size. why? i can't tell ya. tonight i just finished polishing off 3 servings of chocolate covered raisins in one sitting.<br /><br />i'm an emotional eater. and for some reason this week has just been one of those weeks. nothing major has gone on yet each day i've found some reason to indulge in an extra 2 cookies, or a few more chocolate covered raisins. <br /><br />a few days ago i found a haircut that i fell in love with.... it's super short and unlike any haircut i've ever had. i printed out pictures already and have them in my purse... i want nothing more than to call up my hair stylist and book an appointment next week to chop off my hair.<br /><br />but. i'm in a debate with myself. i feel i need to loose a good 30 pounds (at the least) before this haircut would look even remotely good on me. my face is huge. i am huge. and chopping off my hair is only going to accentuate this. <br /><br />so here i am again, angry with myself for letting myself get to this weight. an ashamed and horrible feeling you can't explain to anyone else. and i tell myself that i promise from that moment on i will be good and i will drop the weight and i will be SO MUCH happier 50 pounds from now. and in the whole flurry of feelings where do my emotions push me? to eat more. to calm myself through food. <br /><br />i can think of 4 events going on in the next month that i do not want to take part in solely for the fact that im ridiculously embarrassed of my weight. i dont want to be seen by people looking like this. most days i don't even feel like a person. if you are fat, the world treats you different. i've been 50 pounds lighter before... and i know i got treated a heck of a lot different by people than i do at my current weight. it's an unsettling truth that i carry on my back every single day i leave this apartment. <br /><br />the looks people give you. the attention they give you. the overall way they treat you. <br /><br />of course i wish for good health. of course i wish to be thinner. and every day of my life will be a struggle to get there. and hopefully one day i'll find my perfect balance in my war against food and exercise and all that is involved in the mix. but in the mean time is it too much to ask to be loved and appreciated for the person i am at my current weight?<br /><br /><br />tonight. i was so proud of myself. for about an hour. i had asked if greg wanted taco bell or pizza for dinner because i just felt like it... and he said taco bell, so i assumed on his way home from work he was picking it up.... he didn't. which, fine. i didn't need it so i took it as a sign. he offered to go out and get it but i know that i don't need it, and i will make due with what we have in the house.<br /><br />great. good girl courtney.<br /><br />so 5 minutes after getting home, greg and our roommate take off to a party for the night. i search our pantry, the fridge, the counter. i can't find anything appealing. nothing. finally i settled on some pulled bbq chicken on a slice of bread. it was no taco bell, but it was ok. then i said to myself that i would eat one serving of chocolate covered raisins because i didnt go to taco bell.... but in pouring that first 30 grams out i felt that maybe i needed 2 servings.. which then snowballed into pouring three. i just sat all alone on the couch and watched a movie and ate my raisins.... lonely, a little sad, and just feeling blah.<br /><br />did i even really enjoy them? probably not as much as when you only have a couple and you really take the time to savor each taste as not to rush through them... i had my own little heaping container and i might as well have swallowed them whole... <br /><br />now i'm done chowing down on raisins... my movie is done.... and i'm left with the same disposition as before i began eating. i'm alone, depressed, and wishing i had someone to hangout with. emotional eating at it's finest.<br /><br />and now madison has just left the most awful present ever in the litter box and if i don't go scoop it i think i might die.<br /><br />happy friday night!xcourtxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16334053383311550552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155055458643831850.post-11545849707400745412009-05-11T20:58:00.002-04:002009-05-11T21:17:26.332-04:00monday

look forward to opening tomorrow! <br /><br />today marks the 7th day of my photo food journal project, which concludes the time i said i would devote to doing it. i have mixed feelings... part of me really enjoyed it, it slowed me down and made me think more about my choices (as having to get out the camera, set everything up, find good lighting and get a good angle prevented me from randomly grabbing something and shoving it in my mouth in a moments notice... i had to really want it to go through with the entire process... i had to work for it in a sense.) and then the other part of me was driven nuts because i had to concern myself with all these other things just to eat one simple bowl of soup or whatever it was i was shooting... and half the time my food was cold by the time i got around to eating it... or greg was already done with his before i would take my first bite. <br /><br />it is neat to look back on my week and literally see everything i ingested. there was not one morsel or crumb that went unphotographed, so i'm really quite proud of myself in the end. both for the fact that i was honest with myself, and for that fact that i remembered to record it all via camera.<br /><br />so do i just let it be a project for the week as it was intended? or do i keep rolling with it? i'm unsure, but come tomorrow at breakfast i guess we will see if there is a camera lurking at my table.<br /><br />without further a do... here is what my body survived on the past 7 days... along with a lot A LOT of water!<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto

6Today was a good food day! greg and i actually sat down at the kitchen table, not only for lunch but also for dinner. this is a big thing in itself as we eat in front of the tv 99 percent of the time. so to have 2 meals in one day at the table together was a welcomed change. now if only i could get him to slow down because he likes to vacuum his food down as fast as possible and the world needs to slow down and enjoy their food! (i'm a super slow eater... i like to take my time and savor each bite!)<br /><br />breakfast- Quaker brown sugar oatmeal squares<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0lDgpEn1yy8CEJ8FJliXjZv6mZGCHxumHwBuByYdM2YgrqrXiI1kU1uvBPL8oX0KKxcPviDv_P00QnbVvRXYflbKGyY53EyD0PzvVCf1NajpYXeKcbzmBo3ZBUHWdEE7ZfAQHz2usKmc/s1600-h/Collages.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0lDgpEn1yy8CEJ8FJliXjZv6mZGCHxumHwBuByYdM2YgrqrXiI1kU1uvBPL8oX0KKxcPviDv_P00QnbVvRXYflbKGyY53EyD0PzvVCf1NajpYXeKcbzmBo3ZBUHWdEE7ZfAQHz2usKmc/s400/Collages.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br />lunch- greg and i ate grilled english muffin sandwiches with turkey and of course cream harvarti, pita chips, and a giant bowl of vegetable soup.<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitg7nWt_i-KRXT6QB3M3J-p1xY-czLbx3SDDfscnB8gB-dHyZk9lyrHS-ceXxgyBjy6w5IdZzSMoruENpsrMfXFPYa51JJiT-ceGzBwpLbdcd_3tA3vOVWwSmZAz9AyaoSMb7_ztpkrd0/s1600-h/day61.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitg7nWt_i-KRXT6QB3M3J-p1xY-czLbx3SDDfscnB8gB-dHyZk9lyrHS-ceXxgyBjy6w5IdZzSMoruENpsrMfXFPYa51JJiT-ceGzBwpLbdcd_3tA3vOVWwSmZAz9AyaoSMb7_ztpkrd0/s400/day61.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br />dinner- i was especially excited about dinner tonight as it has been planned for 2 days now. inspired by one of my dads favorite dishes, we made whole wheat pasta topped with broccoli and Marzetti's blue chesse italian vinaigrette dressing along with shrimp skewers which we marinated in chiavetta's before grilling. this meal took about 10 minutes to make and was SO good.<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd9UvlEK0KkRPOZYs-PFQc3s8xhJsQPOANF_JXsTCqM7FPK490SAaW69E_NOO1VFPja8VhE86R5HXTBmcTgTdVT9a5iBVga4YAXiGP0TpqE1eUfXubU8t7zCxkPmAOD-MsUnz5AmM5uX4/s1600-h/day62.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd9UvlEK0KkRPOZYs-PFQc3s8xhJsQPOANF_JXsTCqM7FPK490SAaW69E_NOO1VFPja8VhE86R5HXTBmcTgTdVT9a5iBVga4YAXiGP0TpqE1eUfXubU8t7zCxkPmAOD-MsUnz5AmM5uX4/s400/day62.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><div style='clear:both;

Tonight I decided on a "last night binge" of sorts as tomorrow when I wake up I'm attempting a fresh start at a healthy lifestyle. My fella, our roommate and I got TGIFridays and then capped it off with coldstone creamery for dessert. I just finished my last bites of the coldstone about 35 minutes ago and I can't tell you how ridiculously awful I feel. AWEFUL. This was sooo not worth it. And man oh man if I could just bottle up this feeling, I would be one skinny bitch. How genius would that be? Seriously... think about it. like, the spray bottles we use to spray water on our kitties when they jump on the counter, or when our dogs are on the couch?? if we could just spray this gross awful stomach turning bloated regret-filled feeling in our faces whenever we are feeling like a binge, and then all of a sudden remember this without having to go through the process of eating to get to that point?! ohhhhh man....... but let’s face it, I’ll wake up feeling fine in the morning and within days be craving what I can’t have again. Then again I shouldn’t say "cant"... rather I "shouldn’t" have, as it's all about making better choices.<br /><br />Over the years I’ve been a weight yoyo. I’ve gained. I’ve lost. I’ve found again. repeat multiple times. tomorrow is going to be my next stab at a healthier lifestyle.<br /><br />My project for the next week is to not only journal everything I eat, but to take photos of each meal so that at the end of the day, and the end of the week I can look back and truly see everything i'm eating. it’s going to be challenging and a little sobering but I’m anxious to get it going.<br /><br />and tomorrow marks the back to the gym routine for me as well. I was going 5-6 days a week for a solid month and a half before vacation... but then we were gone 2 weeks on vacation and then the 2 weeks since we have been back I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of real life again.<br /><br />but. tomorrow. there are no more excuses.<br /><br />on New Year ’s Eve this year I was in toledo with my best friends... and after the ball dropped I made a promise to myself.... and that promise was to compete in a triathlon this year. I’m not exactly positive when in my mind I began getting interested in them, but after reading the book Slow, Fat Triathlete last summer the fire was light inside me.<br /><br />so, although I’ve had a minor slip, I’m ready to get back on the ball. and I’m excited to wake up in the morning with a refreshed, renewed sense of self... and get back into that gym as if we were never apart. I know the food is going to be a challenge for me, but let’s face it... I proved to myself that if I don't hold myself accountable by keeping food journals, then I let my sweet tooth run away with my dreams of a skinnier, healthier, happier me.<br /><br />7 weeks and 2 days until the Triceratops Triathlon.<br /><br />Bring it.xcourtxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16334053383311550552noreply@blogger.com4
