(~23P, 6.5F)

** Hot Tea/Powdered milk**

9:30- PWO 1/4 cup FF cottage cheese, 1/4 cup 4% cottage cheese
(13P, 2.5F)

12:15- 4 oz. pork, 1 TBSP dressing, some FF cream cheese, 1 strawberry, sugar-free candy
Veggies: cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce

4:30- 1 cheese stick
(7P, 6F)

6:30- ~ 2 oz. chicken liver, lots nuts: (pistachios, peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds),1 SF/FF jello, cookies, crackers, 1 strawberry, FF cream cheese, whip cream with the PB!
(?P,?F)

9:30- cheese, mixed cereal (soy cereal, oatbran cereal, fiber one cereal), 1/3 apple, 1/4 cup milk, PB, few crackers, some honey

Okie here were my suggestions..
ID drop the dressing, honey, FF cream cheese and limit the sugar free candy until the wedding. these products can actaully make you retain water with the added sodium, fillers and artifical sweetners.(those cookies and crackers should be cut too).
another suggestion a couple weeks prior to the wedding would be to cut out dairy products.. as lactose tends to make peoples skin appear thicker and hold more water. You should notice a diff after a week or so.
are you having any higher carb days?? with oats or brown rice of that sort. you may want to bump your protein up a bit too, doesnt seem like your getting quite enough.
these are just my opinons hun.

Thanx
you'r suggestions sound great... the cookies and crackers were cheat meal
I can't increase my protein intake like I used to. ( I had some problems before) and it's recommended not to be on a high protein diet.
a week before the wedding cut all dairy products? I will do that

What is this jello, cottage cheese thing? Is it a desert? Do you mix cream cheese with it?

I melted the blueberries and cream cheese in microwave.. then mixed it with the jello and on top added some cottage cheese

Nothing like killing your metabolism and putting yourself in starvation mode.

Sara, we have been through this time and again. Why can't you understand this? You are anorexic. Stop dieting for christ sakes.

Jodi, for the past few weeks I have been binging and gained lots of weight.. I need to clean up my diet and lose all the water from my stomach...

I gained 10 lbs. for the past 2 weeks, and I know tha's not the 10 lbs. that I wanted to gain!

And you think starving yourself is the way to do this? For shame, you know better than that.

sara...i hope this doesn't anger you. i don't post much in your journals but i've read along for ages.

i truly believe you have an eating disorder. i would urge you to talk to a professional. i see a definite binge/starvation pattern here and i'm worried for you.

Thanx for all you'r concerns guys especially jodi, nikegurl
I think I can handle it, I can fix my eating habits by myself and some little help from you guys. I will go back to eating carbs as soon as I lose all that water weight and my clothes would fit the same like they used to.
All I'm confused about is my fat intake... how much should I consume when I'm at a low carb/ low protein and want to lose BF

Hey Sara-- Your meals look good today!!

When is this wedding??

Do You make your own atkins bagels??? Whats the carb intake in them???

I do suggest you up your protein!!

Hey Stacey. I'm trying to clean my meals, I had lots of fats in 12:00 meal.. I'll decrease the fat in my next meals
the atkin's bagels are already made.. the bag comes in 6 bagels
1 bagel= 200 cals, 20 protein, 4 fat, 20 carbs, 11 fiber (total carbs= 9)
I had lots of protein in my 12:00 meal counting the bagel cereal and tuna they all high in protein especially the cereal 13 grams and the bagel 20 grams.
