shadowkatApparently there's an app for MyFitnessPal that I need to figure out. Since I don't use it on my computer. I suck at tracking things personally - which may or may not be work related. That was my problem with Weight Watchers...I lacked the discipline to track things.
Also have decided that I'm addicted to sweets...as in york peppermint patties, chocolate, ice cream, and wine. Must stop. It's not good for me. Broke my promise to myself today and bought chocolate (RitterSport coconut/milk chocolate bar), Talenti's chocolate and Caribbean Coconut Gelato Bars, wine and Jenni's Chamoile ice creame. Ate a quarter of the chocolate, one Talenti Bar, and two glasses of wine. I never going to lose weight at this rate.
Frustration and depression lead to eating/craving the wrong things and making the whole thing even worse.
Plus increased irritability. Sugar is indeed the root of all evil. Unfortunately it's also more addictive than crack. Not that I would know...never done crack. Have enough issues with being wired.

Date: 2013-07-31 11:57 pm (UTC)My difficulty with the tracking programs is...I can't eat any of the prepared foods or processed foods, so have to put my own recipes into it.
Also gluten-free items. So it is more grating than for someone who already has all the items in the program. Fitness Pal was actually easier to use than Weight Watchers - which drove me nuts, even though it has nice ego boosters.
For me...I'm addicted to the following sugary things: 1) chocolate (york peppermint patties, reeses peanut butter cups, chocolate bars, or milk chocolate), 2) ice cream, 3)alcohol.
Outside of that...it's not a problem. I don't like non-chocolate candy, can't stand soda, and can't eat baked goods due to the gluten-intolerance. Gluten-Free baked goods are higher in sugar content and also I've found not as good. Pies, cakes, donuts, cupcakes, cookies - tend to be out, because the gluten-free version is either time-consuming and a pain to make (you need a bigger kitchen and more cabinet/freezer space than I have available) or just not that good.
And I tend to binge.
