Cereal.
Lunch, 1:30 p.m.
Mandarin oranges (I drained the syrup), Strawberry
Nutri-Grain bar, Honey Nut Cheerios, and applesauce.
Dinner, 9:30 p.m.
I was starving after my softball game. This is a footlong
turkey ham sub from Subway, on Honey Oat bread, with
lettuce and American cheese. I had a handful of Baked
Lays, too.
Not pictured: Afternoon snack, 5:00-ish. Leftover mac-n-
cheese.

I have been enlisted to comment on your blog, Sig, but I can't. Your diet makes my stomach hurt, and I can't shut up the voices in my head that are SCREAMING at you. And for the record, your diet is VERY VERY broken. I've seen more pieces of pie than I have seem anything (naturally) green, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a vegetable at all, and I'm coming to Alaska to throw away all those Nutra-grain Bars
Excuse me, not pie. Cake. And B-Day cake is acceptable, but not 3 or 4 pieces of it. Not to mention the day before you had a few, too. Try rationing with yourself: If you have this peice of cake, you CANNOT eat out of the vending machine (or some sort of similar idea). And force yourself to eat at least 1 vegetable/day. A few baby carrots or something. CANNED FRUIT DOES NOT COUNT AS FRUIT. It counts as candy, whether or not you drain the syrup. Ok I have to stop. I thought this would be a problem for me (stopping I mean).
There was lettuce on the sandwich, which is totally a vegetable!
Also, I just read your recipe for frosting down below. I refuse to bake with shortening. I definitely use real butter and cream and all that, but shortening repels me. It just feels awful sliding down my throat - which is why I hate Twinkies and other snacks of that nature. It's also full of trans fats because those are necessary for a fat to be shelf-stable at room temperature. Or at least that's my understanding; I'm no nutrition expert.
I agree, Erica. I'm all for not using weird substitues and just going with real food, even if its got fat.
I have it on good authority (my sister, who else) that Sig picks off the lettuce from her sandwhiches.
If there is a food-documentation curve, you are ahead of it.

Food documentation is one of the oldest (and most effective) tools that nutritionists, and MDs, have used to effect people's eating habits. The simple act of coming to terms, concretely, with how one eats usually does the trick.
Ok, this is getting out of hand. I thought this blog was supposed to force you to eat better! I swear to Eilistraee you're actually getting WORSE. First of all, a nutri grain bar is not breakfast. Truth be told, you'd probably be a helluva lot better off if you ate those huge dishes of pasta for breakfast rather than so late in the afternoon/night. But you shouldn't be eating them at all at this point, anyway. But if they're so damn hard for you to give up, eat them in the morning until you've weaned yourself off of them. And only if you're gonna be active. Softball is an activity. So is iceskating. Do more of that.
Although seeing those pics of your food has actually lessened MY appetite...so thanks for that, I guess. :-)
Four years ago, your sister would have been right about the lettuce. When I moved to Alaska I started eating Subway a lot more -- like, twice a week during the school year -- because it's the only restaurant on the campus. (The cafeteria doesn't count -- yuck.) I got sick of the weird looks I got for picking off most of the lettuce (or not ordering it in the first place). So I started eating some of the lettuce, which eventually lead to eating all of it. When I'm feeling really adventurous, I get tomatoes, too. Yes, it's pretty damn rare, but it does happen on occasion. Pickles are also an occasional occurrence.
Its a start, I support it!
If your excuse is that it's too expensive to eat healthy, check out this article. 20 of the healthiest foods under $1

Also, it's not like a 1000+ calorie Mexican dinner is cheap. You could have easily spent that $5-$8 on a day worth of expensive healthy foods at a grocery store.
I notice you have a lot of (illogical) excuses and justifications for your eating habits. Learning how to take opinions and constructive criticism will be huge on the success of your diet.
My biggest opinion would be to balance you calorie intake over a day. For instance, if a typical day involves you waking up at 11a and going to bed at 1a, have a 300 calorie breakfast at 11a, and eat 4 additional 300 calorie meals every 3 hours. This will train your body to burn calories fast and prevent you from getting hungry or over eating (google it). One of my friends lost 80 pounds doing this.
Along with your high sugar / high saturated fat diet, you’re eating very light breakfasts, and extremely heavy dinners, even right before you sleep. By doing this, your body will get extremely hungry by lunch/dinner, and you'll end up gorging. Not only that, but your body will actually hold on to the calories you eat longer because of this.
As mentioned in the earlier comments, eating a larger breakfast will actually train your body to burn calories more efficiently, and prevent over eating and over hunger later in the day.
Eating a larger breakfast (300 calories) is hard at first. Your body is so used to eating small breakfasts that when you eat a larger breakfast, you'll most likely be really hungry later in the day. It will take a few days for your body to adapt to eating a larger breakfast and additional 300 calories meals every 3 hours, but once your body adapts to this, you'll find that you'll be less hungry later in the day and less likely to crave high calorie foods (cheese pastas, cake, pizzas, late night mac 'n cheese snacking, etc.)
Good luck!
