::Hi, Charlie!::

You may have noticed that I've been pretty absent here. Yup. Let me invite you back to the main blog here: Diary of a Mad Overeater 2.0. I'll be blogging there from now on. Thanks!

Day Zero

My name is Charlie, and I'm a compulsive overeater.

::Hi, Charlie!::

I wonder if I'll ever really find abstinence again.

Day Nine

My name is Charlie, and I'm a compulsive overeater.

::Hi, Charlie!::

Today's food:

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 oz. ground beef, 4 oz. cottage cheese, 1 tortilla, 1 cup peaches, 1 tbsp. nuts

Lunch: Out to a restaurant called Louie's. I had the Santa Fe Salad. Then I stopped and got an apple afterwards.

Dinner: 2 cups salad, 1 brown rice tortilla, 4 oz. taco meat, salsa, 1 oz. cheese

Snack: 1 bag 100-calorie popcorn, 2 tbsp. nuts, 2 Keystone Light beers, 3 cheese sticks.

Yeah, that last snack was excessive. I think that's a problem with my addict mind. I hear that I can have "approximately" 400 calories for a snack, and sooner or later I'm gonna "approximately" blow right through that.

I'm ok, though. I'm here. I'm doing this thing, one day at a time.
