And so after days of dieting, I decided to binge-eat last night.   I was doing well until I had a very large Vietnamese dinner of spring rolls, sizzling beef, seafood hot and sour soup, and bagoong rice. Dinner would have sufficed but my usually insatiable appetite was back with a vengeance.

Over coffee at Jose Rafael (a coffee shop near where I live), I had two different types of pasta, eggs, and whole wheat toast.   The food was so good that I just couldn’t help myself.  I attacked the food like a predator going for the kill…seriously!

I also got a new theme.  I got tired of the old theme so I decided to install a new one.

And so this weight loss blog, Losing 30 Pounds, finally had a  makeover.  Let’s hope that I’ll be a really big loser.  In terms of weight loss, that is.:)

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.
