THROW YOUR SCALE. Throw mine. Please.

I am several days into journaling my food intake.  

This is what I do when I get on the scale and scream -- I stop, drop and immediately start writing down WHAT IS GOING IN MY MOUTH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I recently gained weight, after maintaining for what felt like forever.

My last legit weigh in that I posted was in the summer.

Checking in

I weighed in -- and figured I'd share my yesterday's day of  "God she's boring" food with you.  "You must do tons of exercise to eat all those calories - " someone asked on Facebook yesterday.  Yeah. No.  I don't.  It's just that I think I eat pretty BIG FINGER QUOTES "normally" /BIG FINGER QUOTES  in calories -- anyway -- because I am maintaining a normal body weight.  

I am maintaining my size.  It's been a year.  I eat what I want, when I want, in the quantity I desire.

I am a result of doing just that.  It's highly technical.

• Weight - 162 lbs. (On my fancy-schmancy new scale that will be it's own post.)

^{Anyone care for a bowl of bean soup?  I can't possibly eat all of this, because I will implode.}

• 7am -  Coffee, Almond milk, repeat... la la la...
• Lunch - 1/2 Spinach Souffle, sliced ham (The souffle was an afterthought, I cooked it, didn't like it and ate the burned edges only.  Texture aversions ahoy.)
• Snack - Ritz Veggie Crackers (YUCK, SALTY! These are awful... Then again, I'm used to my Wholegrain Crackers...) a pile of melted mozzarella, which I attempted to peel off and eat instead
• Snack -  A piece of rolled up ham straight out of the fridge
• Dinner - Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Soup , sliced roasted chicken breast (I have a VAT of beans in the fridge.)
• Bed - Blue Diamond Growers - Almond Nut-Thins Nut & Rice Crackers

Again?

• 7:30am - Espresso, Unsweetened Silk Soy (40)

• 11:30am - evol Burrito Cilantro Lime Chicken - Mild Salsa - Probably not going to finish it, as I am peering at the last 1/4th of it and pfffft.

• 5:00pm  - Out with exMr -  1/2 small steak quesadilla ---peeled off most of the tortilla-- to eat the goods, a couple bites lettuce, about 1/2 teaspoon sour cream (because it makes me die... Guessing 300-400)  2/3 of a Corona Light Beer, gave up when I felt it... (80)

• 7:30-8:00pm - On the way home from tractor shopping -- two bites of a donut from exMr's bag.  Mmm, donut.  (100-150?) 

• 9:00pm - Espresso, Unsweetened Silk Soy (40)  1 string cheese (80)

• About 1200 calories

 

 

 

What are you eating, MM?

I'm seeing it again, those  "What does Melting Mama Eat In A Day, In A Week?" searches.  I know it's the whole Bad Girl thing.  

People think I'm in here eatin' Doritos and Dunkin' Donuts.   #assumptionfail  It's BIG MACS honey.

I don't post my intake much because I am so very boring.  I'll throw it out there, a couple days, here and there.  I cannot possibly do it every day.  I will make you stab your eyes out with boredom!
