lunch- shredded apple and carrot salad…

BRUNCH !

- went groceries shopping and when i got home i was starving.i needed to eat something that wouldn’t take long to cook.. so i made a salad out of 3 chinese cabbage leaves, one sliced white radish, a bit of cheese, a handful of black olives and one boiled egg. i ate that with a slice of whole wheat bread with seeds…and it was soooo tasty. best meal i have had this week and pretty healthy i would say. gosh i feel so full now!

Lunch!nom nom

i baked some potatoes and boiled some peas..fast and very tasty lunch. also healthy, if any of you care about that :)

got hungry, even though i had an egg and tomato salad for breakfast, vegetable soup in the afternoon and a bar of chocolate with nuts and 2 apples around 5pm..it’s 9:15pm and i’m watching The Good Wife and nibbling on some almonds.fun times, enjoying the new episode :)

planning ahead…yummy breakfast awaits me.there still are 7 hours until morning. i’m only thinking about food because i had a rather unfortunate encounter with what you call emotional eating,or rather i was so tired after not getting any sleep last night, that i needed to stuff myself to keep going- i didn’t have energy to stand or think. i’ve been feeling sick ever since so i need to think ahead what to purchase in the shop tomorrow, so i can patch up my poor tortured stomach.what better way is there than having a healthy Australian breakfast?if my eating habits would define my nationality i’d probably get very confused and find that there’s not space enough to name all the nationalities i would belong to- well in short i’d be international :)

today’s lunch: chick peas with mushrooms and rice

snack of the day..not very tasty but at least it’s healthy..

Thought of the Day

need to get this off my chest, or at least admit it to someone other than my parents and best friends: I have a FOOD problem. ever since i can remember i have used it as a method to calm my anxiety, because you see, i have grown up with confidence issues- everyone has them these days, just the way everyone has or once had an eating disorder. well it’s not much of an eating disorder, because i’m not anorexic, nor bulimic..i just eat allot when i’m sad or lonely or just annoyed at something, or whatever. i think of it as being weak, i’m sort of out of control when it comes to controlling how much i eat. i mean i do eat healthily, it’s just that everyone in my family gains weight very easily..

ok, here’s the thing. 4 years ago, when i started university i gained 22 pounds in just one year. everyone thought it was because i was eating so much and that it was because i was adjusting to uni life. nope- i had thyroid problems, more exactly hypothyroidism which is why i was gaining weight extremely fast. so last summer( 2011) i managed to lose all the gained weight- meaning that i’m 141 pounds at the moment, at 5’9” …pretty awesome achievement i say.it’s just that i think my thyroid problem, although the doctors said it magically disappeared, must be back, because i am eating healthily, exercising every single day but lately i’m starting to feel so exhausted and hungry all the time, it’s like my stomach is a angry baby, constantly making noise and asking for my attention…i’m kind of scared that i’ll gain it all back..i know i probably sound like i whiny teenager, complaining about her figure, but it’s not just about looking good, it’s about feeling healthy, my back not hurting all the time, being able to stretch and fit in clothes i’ve always wanted to wear but couldn’t..not having to worry that the pair of jeans is not gonna fit..it’s such a relief..i don’t wanna lose these things, after working so hard for them. another thing i wouldn’t like is this struggle of maintaining my weight to completely take over my life..because it’s a treacherous road, once you think of it constantly for 4 months- and you do nothing else but work out like a maniac and eat in small portions and only 3 times a day, leaving 3-4 hours in between meals and there’s no eating after 6pm..you get sick of it after a time, you feel like that’s everything you’re life is going to be- paying attention to what you eat

breakfast :)…got a coconut from the market yesterday and spent about 2 hours struggling to crack it with a stone and a screw..managed to make a hole and pour the liquid into a cup but it was damn hard to peal off the entire shell..they should make a whole exercise routine out of cracking coconuts…does wonders to your arm muscles
