day one (ish) of calorie tracking. i had an issue in hs but it was resolved by the time i got to college. tragically my parents have started commenting on my weight again. was supposed to start in vigor today but things happened.
cw ~137 last i checked
gw 120
limit 1417 cal/day
not that while ik this isnt technically an eating disorder & more just basic dieting im just gna b using this blog to talk abt dieting & post my goals & progress or w/e
#tome calories from dressing/seasoning dont count like thats overkill wahwahwah omg what if i make my few small meals of the day taste yummier gasppp perish the thought!!! ppl who brag abt how they dont even season their food bc theyre sooo locked in r just dying for attention
right day one properly. diet coke for breakfast (im a cliche, i know) carrots & ranch for late lunch/snack . 28 cal consumed 1473 left. planning on having a homemade taco (will b approx. 500-600 cal) for dinner, which will leave me w 800 & some change cal :) yay! also might ask my friend to pick me up some drinks, but i usually drink white claws or just liquor (mixed w my dc ofc) so if i have one or two tonight it wont mess me up too much
- diet soda (not a very healthy choice)but a tasty one
- gum! i love gum especially when ik i just wanna eat something because im bored đ¤
-safe foods!!find ur fave low cal food heres some of mineâŹď¸
tuna packs (70-120 cals) i love adding stuff to these! also a good source for protein
pickles for obvious reasons (0-5 cals)
popcorn!!! thereâs so many low cal options its kind of a âvolumeâ snack to me (80-160 cals)
club crackers mini aghhh i love theses another âvolumeâsnack in my opinion cmon 34 pisces for (140 cals)
gold fish LOVE (120cal)
shrimp is a nice choice each shrimp is like under 10cals (70-100 cals)
LIGHT string cheese i honestly like it way better that the original (50cals)
monsters or any other low cal energy drink(also not a very good choice) (5-20 cals)
cucumbers i rec adding something on top like lemon pepper/juice, Chamoy, tajin or any other low cal topping (10-45 cals)
pita crackers!! another must for meâiâve found that iâve cut out corn chips since iâve tried pita crackers theyâre great for dips or just a side snack(130cals)ďżź
(i have lots of more food recommendations if yâall want more!!)
- check your weight daily or a few times a week i find this helps motivate me especially when i eat more than i should and start gaining.
-make sure youâre taking some kind of vitamin/supplement every day!!(you donât wanna develop any more of a deficiency)ďżź
-do something that burns calories like walking, an at home workout, just dance,etc.
-TEA try making a cup of tea instead of feeding into ur hunger pangs
-read!!(one of my personal favs;) distract yourself with a book, especially if youâre a ao3/wp girlyđ¤(iykyk)
-musicđ§ i love listening to music and just scrolling through pinterest or organizing my phone
-SCROLL ON TUBLR(like the last tip ^)
-go outside. you can find a place to sit get some fresh air i like to go out on my trampoline and watch videos/music:)
-hobbies!!!find yourself a hobby i like to distract myself by making kandi bracelets i also like to paint or any other arts and crafts.
-FASTING!! fasting is a major part of my daily life now i fast every day for at least 15-20hr a day
-watch yt,a show, or a movie. i like to distract myself with long forms of media. (i recommend watching some lolcow commentary on yt đ)
-clean/organize! you can clean or organize things in your room,bathroom,kitchen,etc..
-self caređ i recommend taking care the outside of your body<3 (cause girl I know the inside ainât doing too wellđŁ) if you need motivation or ideas go on TikTok or YouTube watch some sc video:)
-make sure you have a meta day(basically a day for your metabolism where you eat at a normal calorie intake this is to make sure ur metabolism doesnât crash)
-after a long binge when you decide to restrict again, make sure you do it slowly (restricting your calorie intake too fast can also cause your metabolism to crash)
