Day 391

Two updates in two days = not too shabby! I feel like I'm re-living all I went through last year seeing as my dad's going in for the surgery in 2 weeks. I've been more than a little apprehensive about the whole thing just because while both my parents have been great in "supporting" me, they have done nothing to help me food-wise. They continued to buy junk food and maintained their horrible lifestyles. I've done what I can but it's still been one of my biggest obstacles to date.
I love my dad to bits but he has got to be the most stubborn human being on this earth. I'm exactly like him in fact. People warned me that hunger returns after surgery, that the surgery does not cure anything, that you can easily regain weight and I listened to all of that but figured it would be somehow different for me. He's in the same mindset and won't admit it.
He's done research and when I first told him about my initial consult he told he contemplated the same thing. Both my parents are absolutely clueless when it comes to nutrition. When I asked my dad how many grams of protein he should aim for after surgery he said 30. Oy. He knows nothing about food, he can't cook at all and I just can't help but think...if my mother did't really support me, how the heck is she gonna support him? My entire family needs a crash course on food.
That's my Monday rant. I'm sitting here at almost midnight and I feel like I'm starving. I had a pretty good day food-wise:
Breakfast - Fresh fruit
Snack - Starbuck's SF Soy latte, berry parfait (320 FREAKING CALORIES!!!!!!!!)
Lunch - Protein bar
Snack - Banana, 2 pickles
Supper - 1/6 slice whole wheat crust spinach chicken pizza
Snack - 2 apples (made applesauce with splenda/cinnamon)

Just under 1000 calories, 20g of fat, 154g carbs, 48g of protein.

Day 390

I know, I know. I'm a horrible blogger! No excuses really. I've just been the same old crazy busy. I had a nice 1 year surgiversary and an even better 21st birthday. I finished exams at the end of April and started summer classes 4 days later. Even those finish in a couple of week. I don't know where time goes. Things are going well. I'm moving out next weekend so I have been packing up and throwing a lot out.
Eating- meh! I have great days and not-so-great ones. Good thing about moving will be that I'll finally be able to control whatever comes into my kitchen. I'm really looking forward to walking down to the farmer's market every weekend stacking up on produce for the week.
I start my advertising internship next week also (day after I move, go figure) so being out of the house all day and making lunches hopefully will work on my side. I do better when I'm busy with less time to snack and more time spent on planning. Time will tell! If I fuck up now I'll have no one to blame but myself.

I'll try updating again this week before the move :)
