#meal plan
Today i cracked open this magnum of Valentina : my favourite hot sauce for eggs/ breakfast!
Egg sandwiches are so fucking good, as long as the bread has got some grains in it.
Lmao my dumb ass really thought I could stick to my reasonable 1000cal/day meal plan without bingeing
I’m such a fool
I managed to do it for 2 weeks without bingeing tho (which I’m kinda proud of btw!), but I’ve quickly cut out my breakfast and decreased my dinner to <200 cals on the 2nd week (so I was eating ~500cals/day)
I felt overwhelmed by the idea of eating nearly 1000cals bc I don’t workout and always think I don’t need/deserve that much food.
And tbh I don’t see any changes in the mirror neither in my clothes so I thought I should speed up my weight loss
BUT I’ve binged on Friday evening of my 3rd week and ate the leftovers of this binge the next day too
Then I kept my meal plan for the following week, but kept it at ~500cals instead of 1000. And yesterday I had to buy chips and beers bc I was spending the night with a friend at their place. I knew when I was going to the store that I would buy binge foods and would eat it before seeing them.
I ate too much and was really guilty and depressed, and also ate too much at their place. And today I went back at my place and ate some cookies I bought for the binge.
So basically I’m a piece of shit rn. All my restriction of the 4th week has been vain bc I ate more than the amount I restricted for 7 fucking days.
Next week I’m planning on eating under 500cals/day every day and I CAN’T binge on my 5th weekend I really need to have some self control.
I need to lose 10kg by the end of January 2021. I need to workout. I need to stop bingeing. I need to eat whole foods. I need to allow myself low cal treats without eating the whole grocery store.
I need to go back to my lw, which means I must lose 24kg.
Here is my current meal plan!
It’s low in fat and sugar, budget friendly (less than 30€/week), meal prepped
I eat less than 1000cals/day so this makes room for when I see my friends and it wasn’t planned (it’s beers mostly lmao)
- Breakfast (20-200 cals)
I usually don’t have time and just drink a coffee with milk but sometimes I make oats :
50g oats, 60ml milk, cinnamon, stevia (200)
- Lunch (400)
I make my lunches in advance (usually 2 days the night before) so it’s ready in the morning and I don’t have excuses like “oh I don’t have time to prepare lunch I’ll just eat at the cantine”
1 portion (200cals) of protein rich carbs : lentils, quinoa or red beans
1 portion (140cals) of protein : 2 eggs, chicken, tofu, tuna, soja meat
1 portion (60cals) of seasonal veggies of choice
Plenty of water, black coffee and tea throughout the day
- Dinner (200-400)
I’m lazy and don’t feel like cooking dinner and next lunches the evening bc I get home late, so I usually eat something light and convenient
Soup, fresh or canned veggies, fruits, pre-made meals or salads
If I crave something sweet, instead of buying and eating a whole cereal box or several cookies packs like I used to do, i now force myself to eat tangerines, oatmeal or chocolate covered rice cakes (they’re 60 cals each), and drink coffee or tea with sweetener and have a piece of gum
I’m not ready to buy sweet/fatty/junk foods again bc I know I’ll eat it in 1 sitting, so I stay away from it for now
If I’m really hungry, really craving something or feeling weak, I choose to eat!! I know eating more once or twice a week won’t be as bad as restricting too low and then having huge binges! It’s way worst to starve and binge bc y'all know it’s a never ending hell
And eating 1000 cals/day will definitely make you lose weight (it’s already a low intake), and it will be easier to keep it going
Goals can be reached with patience and consistency :)
Soooo after months of trying to lose weight and gaining instead bc i’m stucked in a binge/restrict cycle
I’ve finally decided to increase my planned intake! I was used to plan 400cals/day and always ended having massive binges multiples times per week
I’ve made a 1000cals/day planning for a week and didn’t binge once!! I haven’t succeed to maintain a realistic meal plan without bingeing for months!
I’m so proud rn, I should lose 10kg by the end of January by keeping it on, I really hope I’ll be able to do it!
I’ll try to be more active on tumblr to keep me motivated :)
