I'm alone in the house for the next few hours.
Usually I would use this unmonitored time to methodically eat my way through the kitchen. Sometimes I would follow this with a nice, long vomit.
So for the moment, I'm just going to list what I've eaten so far today - with the hope it'll stop me, before I start!
Woke late, first meal:
18 blueberries
4 medium sized strawberries
PB&J
1.5 c. lettuce w/ spicy brown mustard
1/4 orange
1 quart water with a Benefiber Orange packet
Calories: 530
Second meal:
1 veggie burger w/white bun
salad w/ 1 tablespoon dressing
3 oz. carrots
0.5 c. blueberries
Calories: 360
Total so far: 890 calories
After typing and adding all this, I've decided to eat some popcorn later on and bring it up to an even 1000 calories. I have also thought of a better use of my alone time... exercise!
I'm going to pop in a DVD. Then later clean up around the house.
P.S. Thanks Falling_Starlight for your comment! Good to know I'm not the only self-conscious person out there trying to exercise! My family also makes crude comments about strangers on appearances, fat/skinny, stupid, etc.
**Update**
I had an indulgent bowl of popcorn with a little oil and some salt, then a bowl of cereal with milk. This brings my total calories for the day to approximately 1520. I'm very happy with that. Didn't go on a full-out binge, and I exercised a wee bit. At my size, I could lose weight eating that much.
The exercise attempt was... haha... yeahhh...
I spent more time getting the plastic wrap and security device stickers off the DVD than I spent using it! But workout dance DVDs are fun! I enjoyed the few minutes I did. Just got wheezy and had to stop.

I always had the tendency of eating everything in sight when i was alone too. But you make a wonderful point: exercise is a much better use of that time. Keep up the good work, and keep on using those fun exercise DVDs nothing's better than exercise you can actually enjoy.
