Say "Cheese"

I was watching a program late last night regarding eating disorders in women.  One of the featured women in the story explained that she can look at any photo taken of her since the onset of her ED and can remember how she felt about the photo, what she was wearing and what it took to get into those clothes, and where she was in the cycle of ED at the time.  Can you do that?  I can!  I hope for the day when I can look at a no-strings-attached photograph of myself!

Still Under the Weather

I live in Oregon and it's gray.  And foggy.  And dark.  Gray and foggy and dark don't exactly make for the happiest of outlooks.  It's going to be an adjustment since it's my first winter on the west coast.  I think it's time to hunker down and just make the best of it!

Eating Out

Today I had a hankering for a steak - I'm thinking I might not be getting enough iron and may start taking a supplement.  In light of that, though, I decided to take the opportunity to have a night out with my boyfriend (who has been extremely supportive of my diet changes and has even joined me in eating frozen meals so that I don't feel deprived).  We decided on a steakhouse that serves steaks as small as 6oz.  I also had a couple of small shrimp.  All in all, it was a lovely evening and I plan to cut snacks today to make up for the larger portion I ate last night.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal, raisins

Snack:  70 cal Cheese Stick

Lunch:  Healthy Choice Steaming Entree - Chicken Marsala (yum)

Snack:  Trader Joe's Rice Crisps

Dinner:  4.5oz of a 6oz dry-grilled lean steak (giving the last little bit to a dinner partner always helps!); 2 small dry-grilled shrimp; steamed broccoli; green salad with cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers and 1T of ranch dressing; three 3/4" croutons; 2"x2" pumpernickel bread
