I felt like I was getting sick, so I posted a dieting while sick post on CalorieCount. It's a great site where I can track how much I eat. I felt my lungs and throat getting worse, so on Friday I stayed at home and now I'm home sick for the week. Still working from Wednesday though. On Sunday I also had my period and the cramps just got worse and worse. Could hardly breathe, the slight feeling I had in my lungs intensified at the intense cramps and then just everything started coming out of me... you get the picture. So my mom called an ambulance and I got a shot. I guess it may be a bad sign if I'm not bothered by needles anymore. So I fell asleep after they left and in the morning I felt much better, but my stomach took such a beating that I couldn't eat anything for 2 days, just crackers. Have you seen the calories on those??? Though I only ate 1 box a day, so that would be around 1300kcal. I'm starting to eat normally, but yesterday I was so full of breakf...

Originally on CalorieCount: I ate 1300kcal yesterday. Today I don't really want to eat that much, just keep it 1200kcal, because my bar was red. But breakfast was porridge and a little piece of chocolate. I'm not sure how many calories that was, because it's a hand made sweet. Based on other stuff I'd had, I'd estimate it around 100kcal. It's not big, but it is like a Mon Cheri, but a hand made version. Sadly, I can't find any data on Mon Cheri either here. Maybe they don't have that in the US. So I searched around on Hungarian sites and found that I was wrong, it's only 56kcal, so I'm sticking with that. Then I also had some more chocolate as my colleague brought some from Switzerland. Seriously, who can resist that? I'll base my estimation on the Milka bars I usually buy. So yeah, we'll see what all this will amount to. I may go to 1300 today as well. I think what I'll do with the chocolate is that I'll use for the whole a...

Originally on CalorieCount: I've decided to up my calories to 1200kcal. I did loose more when I ate more. I have dinner to go and 140kcal to eat. I hope my milkshake and a peach will be enough. It will be weird. I may start eating meat again, maybe for breakfast. On a topic someone wrote that they would make a big piece of chicken over the weekend and eat that throughout the week. Maybe I'll do something like that. Of course, I would only make a little bit as I live alone. I also uploaded some more recent pics to CalorieCount. The one I had was kind of older, but we did take a couple on August 20th, so I put some up from those.

Originally on CalorieCount: Okay, so over the weekend, when I ate a lot, I lost 1kg. Great. Now I'm back on my 1000kcal a day regime, okay, maybe a tiny bit over by like 30kcal, but anyway, I'm back to eating strict. I even got out the scales and measure everything exactly now, where before I would just measure with my eyes. I gain 3dkg a day. What? Isn't loosing weight supposed to be about calories in, calories out? I'm supposed to burn almost 1500kcal a day just by existing. Then I added what I normally move about in a day and that's an extra 200-300kcal if I don't go exercising. I also belly dance on some days, which is an extra 447kcal / class. So, I'm supposed to have a calorie deficit of about 700-1100kcal a day on weekdays! So why am I gaining? And I only eat 3 pieces of small cookies a day, 32kcal each, no other sugar added. Otherwise I'm eating vegetables, dairy and whole grains. So what the heck??? I should be shedding pou...

Originally on CalorieCount: Weekends are my problematic days. When I'm at work and get my daily vegan lunch, I'm fine. I can also keep myself away from the chocolate vending machine that is like 10 steps away by thinking of my colleagues. What will they think if they see overweight me buying something? By the time I get home I'm usually too tired to think of eating, so I just drink some milk or something. For the weekends I try to not keep any food around. Though I do occasionally buy some biscuits for my breakfast. If I had nothing sweet at all, I would tend to pig out on something more. But this weekend I did have a 12-piece box of lemon creme biscuits and a whole bar of Milka chocolate with mints. I should not have bought that bar, but I thought I could keep myself to only eating one row a day. How wrong I had been. Come Saturday and I started off wrong. I ate about 6 biscuits, 84kcal each. Then I had lunch, which was fish, about 570kcal. Then I saw...

Originally on CalorieCount: Today I ate too much, 1181kcal. I was fine all day, but after work I wanted to buy a new smaller black bag and also my dance slippers are falling off my feet, so I had to get new ones. The same shop sells both in a mall, so I went there. However, the weather has been crazy all day. It looked like rain in the morning and then the sun came out. I took some caffeine pills and a headache pill, but I still felt dizzy. My blood pressure is so low and in weather like this it just plumets. So I had this monster headache and then the world tilted under my feet. I just had to get something coffee-like in me, but nothing hot. I stopped at a McDonald's Café and I saw this Iced Mocha. I just couldn't resist. Just by looking at it I knew it was 300kcal. Actually, 310. But it did taste really good. I didn't add sugar, but there was some in the whipped cream. Then I got home and had an apple, 90kcal. So now I'm way over my 1000 limit.  ...

Originally on CalorieCount: I'm currently on a diet where I'm eating under 1000kcal a day. This does seem very little, but since I've decided to order food from a vegan place, it has been more doable. Before I only had a raw salad for lunch and I was constantly hungry. Now, I eat a good mix of vegetables and some good grains. These grains, while filling are actually low in calorie. But what does fit into 1000kcal? All the measurements are in grams.
