Food Journal

Once again, it's been a while.  As in the past I haven't had much luck with losing weight and being healthier.  Will I ever succeed? Who knows! Maybe! Maybe not. But I do really hope so. This blog has been sitting here just waiting for me to come back and say something.  I've wondered if writing down what I've eaten each day will help me; keeping a food journal.  I've heard that it works for some people and at this point I'm totally up for whatever ideas I come across.  I'll also try to keep a journal of what I feel like in general.  So let's start here:

Friday March 13, 2015 
I work at my local supermarket now in the deli and tend to have to go into work at 5 am most days.  So today I woke up at 4:30 and went into work at 5.  I didn't eat anything until my break around 8; bad I know.

-sweet&salty nature valley bar
-1 egg, 1/2 cup orange juice, M&M's (peanut)
-chips and salsa
-2 chicken/cheese wraps
-1 can mt. dew
-a bit of ice cream
-1 bag popcorn
-1 bowl green grapes
-air head candies
-2 bottles of H20

It's about 8 at night so I'll probably eat again before going to bed but hopefully nothing too bad and not too much!!

Overall I feel like crap most days.  I'm sluggish and feel tired at work and at home; if not mentally, then physically. My knees hurt as well as my back. This is the most I've ever weighed in my life and it's starting to get the better of me. I was always used to just having a high metabolism so I didn't have to worry about it. Of course, I wish now that I had nipped this gaining weight problem in the bud when I was 19 and a freshman in college, but it's too late for that. I can't change what happened then; I can change what happens now. I'm the only person holding me back and I hope I'm finally fully realizing that. My addiction to food is becoming a worse and worse problem and it needs to stop. I'm a bored eater so if I don't keep myself occupied I just eat a bunch of crap.  Hopefully I can get myself into a good routine coupled with much better eating habits as well.

I guess we will see how it goes........again
