Okay, I over reacted a bit in my last post. I tend to get really upset and emotional when I loose control over my cravings like I did today. I just have to remember to stay positive and realize my mistakes and correct them. I still would like tips on controlling my cravings though. My friend told me to chew gum, drink water, or wear and elastic around my wrist and snap it every time I get a craving for junk food more than twice a week. It's REALLY hard, I mean my mom bought these chocolate/almond covered ice cream bars that are SO good. No wonder their called Irresistible. I must resist! Lol. Will power. I'm glad I went to the gym tonight, I'm actually still here... waiting for my mom who went to see my math teacher cause it's parent's teacher night. I got an overall average of 83%! Not bad for enriched secondary 4. :D Anyways...just want to reassure everyone I'm not going into a state of melt down... at least not at the moment :P

Okay, MAJOR set back. I just had four subway chocolate chip cookies, which have made me sick and extremely guilty but my calorie intake for the day, including the cookies is 1826 according to my nutrition counter. How can this be? Am I allowed to eat foods I like? Did I over do it? How can I stop my cravings! My mind has lost all control over my actions and I'm growing more stressed and upset by the minute. I don't want to obsess over the foods I'm eating but I can't help it, it's ruining my life and making me so depressed that I don't know how to handle anything in my life. How can I NOT care/think about every little thing I eat? And how can I control myself enough where I choose healthy choices because I want to, not because I feel I HAVE to.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

A maintenance range could be anywhere from 1800-2200 calories with an active lifestyle and wise food choices. You want to use your Spark Plan to help you stay on track with goal setting and achievement related to food, water and exercise.

I use to be overweight for my height and then these past few months I suffered from anorexia, which proved I was underweight. Now I'm 93 pounds, at 5'. This is a healthy weight and I don't wanted to go any higher due to the fear of becoming overweight again. I don't know how to maintain my weight though, I've either lost it or had to gain it... never keep it. I try to eat about 2000 calories a day along with at least half an hour of exercise. Oh and another thing, is acting exercise? Just wondering. Anyways, every week for the past month I've gained a pound or so. As an example of what I normally eat is, multi grain cheerios with 1% milk, glass of sunny d, a banana (600ish calories), sandwich, either Peanut Butter and jelly or chicken breast slices with low fat miracle whip, 2 source yogurts, and a nutri bar of some kind (presently vector bar), with water (500-600ish), snacks throughout the day are kelloge crispy bites, nutri bar (presently fibre source), a piece of fruit (like apples) (400ish) and supper is usually chicken with salad or pasta along with piece of fruit or something similiar. (400-700ish) This puts my grand total at apox. 2000, the highest possiblity at 2300. I forgot I have milk with supper too which adds another 100 calories. What should I do? I don't want to gain weight anymore but I always seem to be craving food. Should I drink more water... like in the place of snacks to fill myself up? Please help, I want to feel good about the way I look and not have to obesse about the things I eat and the scale or food in general. I don't want to have to think about food all of the time.
