Eating on Day 7

I've been thinking about what I've eating and it seems I'm stuck on carbs which is a bad thing.  I would probably be losing more weight if I was eating more fruits and veggies but we are trying to eat up all the food we have in the house first before I go stock up.  Here is what I ate today.

Breakfast:
1 small bowl of bran cereal with 1 banana and skim milk
1 medium cappuchino

Lunch:
1 peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Snack:
1 rice krispy treat

Dinner:
1/2 cup jasmine rice
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup macaroni and cheese

As you can see a very heavy carb loaded day but I still don't feel like I overate so thats a good thing. 

Eating on Day 6

I've made it almost a week and no binging and purging so I'm really happy.  Eating was still good today but I could improve what I'm eating.  Here's what I had.

Breakfast:
1 small bowl of bran cereal with skim milk
1 large cappuchino

Lunch:
1 Chex Mix bar
1 pack of cheese crackers.

Dinner:
1 small pizza with ranch dressing

Snack:
1 peppermint patty

That will probably be all I eat today because I feel like I've had enough for the day.

Eating on Day 5

Today has been a very busy day between school and running errands after school.  Here is what I had to eat today.

1 small cappuchino

Lunch:
1 Fiber one bar
1 pack of cheese crackers

Dinner:
1 fried chicken breast and wing

Snack:
1 cup vanilla pudding
1 small bowl of bran cereal with skim milk

That doesn't look like much food but I'm not hungry.  If I get hungry later I will have a snack.
