I did it again.  It has been weeks since I last updated this blog.

Frankly, I spent these past few weeks pigging out.  There were days when I went out for dinner, consuming very delicious yet calorie-laden food.  Also, I think I had buffet dinner 3-4 times.  And that’s a very conservative estimate.  Of course, I threw caution to the wind and went berserk each time I came face to face with the buffet table.  Who doesn’t?:)

I think I may have consumed a lot of food today.  I felt like eating too much carbohydrates.  I had white rice, ramen, and pastries!   I have to cut down on portions next time.

And I even added whole milk in my coffee!  Seriously, what’s with me today?   I’m doing all sorts of things to ruin my diet.  Sheesh.

It is a Sunday.  Nothing much.  Just had a very early breakfast of coffee and wheat bun before I decided to sleep.  My routine is like this:  it’s either I have a very early breakfast or I don’t have breakfast at all.  The only meal of the day I get to eat on time is dinner.  And the food item that can be considered a staple for me is coffee.    I may pass up on rice but I gotta have my coffee.  I don’t care if it is brewed, instant, black, or loaded as long as it has a healthy dose of caffeine in it.

I believe  I just encountered one major obstacle tonight.  I realized it is very difficult to keep track of   food portions when dining out with a group.  I mean, I find it easy to eat by myself or with my boyfriend be conscious of every morsel after morsel of food that enters my mouth.  But if you are dining with a group of people, you tend to forget your food servings as you try to keep up with the conversations.  Get-togethers can be a dieter’s pothole so I should learn to change the way I eat when I am with a group.  Tsk, tsk.

I got so hungry early this morning that I just had to eat something.  I had to choose between ripe papaya and white bread (hmmm…I wonder where did the whole wheat buns go) and naturally, I chose the fruit.  One good thing about where I live is that we never run out of papaya.  My whole family loves to have papaya during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Somehow, I think today’s progress is okay albeit I ate lots of mints the whole day.  Also, we now have brown rice at home (we couldn’t find any last month) so I am less likely to go overboard on rice which is, by the way, one of my weaknesses.
