A day in the life of a (recovering) emotional binge-eater

Aaaah! A brand new day, and I’m off to a fresh start! yawn!

08.15- 1  cup tasteless coffee with low-fat milk and 1 sugar, 2 eggs scrambled with peppers, lovingly sprinkled with parsley and Parmesan

Tucked into over morning paper (gossip section) or paperback.

Yay! Now why can’t everyone eat a healthy breakfast? (Kim Kardashian has such a big behind!)

10.00- 1 mug tea with (supposed) low-fat milk and 1 sugar

Hmmm…better get started on work now…

11.00- (Loo and mirror break)

No hunger pangs! This breakfast theory really works! I feel thin already!

13.00- 1 large tuna salad, 1 small bag chips

It’s amazing how you can feel full on a nice healthy salad. That’s really all you need. I don’t know why we stuff ourselves silly. And all those antioxidants! Very good for skin. I’m proud of myself! Yay!

Maybe I shouldn’t have had the chips…hmm… but that’s okay. I’ve been really good this past week. I think I deserve it.

13.30- 1 Galaxy hazelnut bar

Just a teeny-weeny dessert. Won’t break the scale or anything! Besides, I’m hitting the gym in the evening. I’ll burn this right off!

15.00- 1 10-days-old pear found in back of drawer

Feeling a bit peckish. Will eat fruit. Very healthy for self and regulates one’s sugar levels.

15.30- 1 cup coffee with low-fat milk and 1 sugar

Oooh…must fight afternoon slump in productivity.

16.00- 1 Snickers bar

Still hungry…think I need more energy. Snickers must actually be good for you, what with all those nuts. Very good source of protein.

17.00- 1 small bag chips from vending machine

Just a small bag, hardly anything at all.

17.05- 1 more small bag chips from vending machine

What a ridiculously small bag! It had all of 8 chips in it! That can’t be a serving size! Must remember to call customer-service number on the back! Taking advantage of hard-working consumers…hmph!

17.30- 1 large bag chips from store downstairs

Oh, what the heck. I might as well get the big one. I’ve already shot my diet anyway (but I’m going to the gym so I’m still in a good place… I think).

18.45- 1 cup coffee with low-fat milk and 1 sugar, in front of telly

Need some caffeine to get me into my sweats…oooh wait! Grey’s Anatomy is on now?

19.30- 2 pieces baked chicken with small side of vegetables, 1 glass of red wine (to dilute stray blood clots coursing through vessels)

Oh no!!! My LBT class must have started already! I feel so fat and bloated! Damn! Well, it’s too late now. I might as well have an early dinner. I’ll go to gym tomorrow for sure…oh look, Masterchef Australia‘s on now!

20.00- 1 small tablet of dark chocolate

More antioxidants. Plus it will actually help me lose weight.

20.10- 1 more small tablet of dark chocolate

Just one more…I promise I’ll stop after this.

20.15- rest of remaining dark chocolate bar

May as well as finish off the whole pack. Don’t want to leave any temptations lying around for tomorrow…

21.00- 1/2 tub of pralines ‘n cream ice-cream left over from weekend

Ugh…I feel so sick…why do I do this to myself? I hate myself…sob!

22.00- Oh well, didn’t Scarlett O’ Hara say tomorrow’s always another day? What’s good for her should be good enough for me!

  1. i am so relieved to know its just not me who tries to justify carb and sweet cravings:):) and oooh… so believe in that exercise bit, if its my exercise day I eat all day preparing my body for the torture and then after exercise i eat even more to reward my body for the torture that it has just gone through!

    we take justification to a whole new level:D
