but I’m having a REALLY hard time.
I was totally in control until 6pm today. Then it happened.
The pizza came.
Pizza + Hormones = Overeating DISASTER
Since Saturday, it’s like I am not happy unless I’m actively chewing on something. You would think the gross, heavy, “I feel like I gained 25lbs” feeling would curb it, but NOoooo. Right now I’m nibbling on graham crackers.
I MUST BE STOPPED!
Why Why oh Why?
Ok, this is stupid. I’m not hungry. The graham crackers are going away and tomorrow I’m going to refocus.
UGH! I feel gross.
However, I am being accountable. I posted my food journal using my new table generator.
It is now behind me.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...] -
Yesterday I decided to rediscover simple foods. Part of my cooking slump has to do with over thinking. So I did what I used to do, simply react to what I have on hand. This is what I came up with... Starting from top left around.., [...]

There must be something in the water, Roni – I’ve been the same way, but I’ve been like this the past 2 weeks!!!
Hormones suck.
BTW, Ryan is adorable – I have a Ryan as well! :)
Roni,,,EXERCISE,SWEAT..,,,,,,,Write down things you need to do for the season,,take your little guy out to see lights,,or a stroll to the mall,to see the decorations,,treat yourself to a non fat latte…and drink GALLONS of water..I leave on a cruise for 10 days Wednesday,,..sure hope I can use self control…Such a bummer when you just lose that control you’ve had..but it will come back,,you’ve come a long way!!
is there a non-fat pizza or something???lolz
Is your husband getting the pizza. If you feel you have no control, try not to have it in the house.
me too….my hubby was finally home after being at work for 2 months straight (he’s in the Navy) and we PIGGED out for 4 days…definitely had a two pound gain on Sun. Yikes…and now my kids are sick so I can’t hit the gym..it’s back to 20 points a day, writing it ALL down and doing things with my time aside from eating…I am trying to clean, dance with the kids…anything to keep myself out of that forsaken kitchen. :-) You’ll get it back….you’ve come a LONG way!
There’s something about that “control” thing… the minute I think I’m in the driver’s seat, I’m doing great, I’m flying along… WHAM! wth!!? what’s up with that??
I’m going to link back to you on this one, because I am having the exact same problem. I’m a model health nut during the day, and then my alter ego of human garbage disposal comes out after dark!
Anyway, thanks a million for the table generator! I need to get back on counting so I can take advantage of this great tool! You are so damn sweet Roni!
I totally understand! I had a period of a few weeks recently where I was just… munchy without any good reason. What stopped me in my tracks was eating a piece of light string cheese EARLY in the morning… and making sure to get all of my 8 GHG in WITHOUT fail. Oh, and more exercise. ;) Today is a new day my friend – you’re going to do great!
Some days overeating happens. Accept that and enjoy your pizza. At some point you won’t feel like overeating. It will happen sooner if you don’t fight it.
Roni – examine what is going on emotionally that is making you want to chomp
Roni, try eating alot of protien. And also I like to take xtra vit. c. it tends to curb some cravings. Are you getting enough fish oil. You may try taking 2x 1000mg. of fish oil at night, especially during pms. I find it helps keep me in control. You can do it. Have a hot cup of herbal tea,they have great holiday teas out now. Good luck!!!!
RONI, I LOOKED AT WHAT YOU HAD DURING THE DAY AND FROM WHAT I SEE YOU ARE NOT EATING ENOUGH. TRY EATING MORE PROTEIN AND TRY TO SQUEEZE IN SOME “SUPER FOODS” SUCH AS BLUEBERRIES, SPINACH, NUTS,SEEDS, OATS. THEY WILL KEEP YOU FULLER LONGER AND TURN OFF THOSE CRAVINGS. TRY IT ANYWAY. WHAT COULD IT HURT???
FROM, JAMI
I hear ya sista! I’ve been having the same trouble, only on the weekends. I do so great all week and then Kablamo! Fridays hits and it’s a free for all. Ugh. BUT at least you stayed accountable for your pizza fiasco and journalled it right? Kudos to you for that.
We can’t be perfect 100% of the time. The important thing to to control and limit the “off the wagon” times and compensate with gym time and lots of water!
As cheesey as it sounds…sometimes I have to resort to literally saying outloud to myself “I can do this!”…of course I make sure nobody’s in the room first…:)
I feel your pain. I think we are on almost the same cycle. I finally took control of my weekend yesterday and stayed within my points, but didn’t drink enough water. Hormones happen. My dad has a saying: Some days you eat the bear and some days the bear eats you. I have my own saying: some days I could eat a whole bear. LOL!
I made your delicata steak fries recipe with dinner last night and had leftovers for lunch today. Yummy and I love that you don’t have to peel it! Thanks for your blog. I love your honesty (and your recipes)!
Hey Roni -
I just found your Blog last week, but wanted to say I totally know how you’re feeling. I do the same thing. I can ask myself why I’m doing the bad eating, but many times I still can’t figure it out and keep putting hand to mouth. You hang in there. You’re doing a beautiful job and putting yourself out there for the world to see is not an easy thing!
Roni,
This is just one of those inevitable things that your body does because it wants to gain the weight back. It might be in starvation mode or something..you just never know. I think perhaps you could let yourself have 30 points a day for a while..or whatever you would like to up it (and be okay with it) until you feel like you can do it again. I think you have to be ready to loose weight mentally…I don’t think you can force it. You are still at a very good weight BMI wise, so don’t sweat it. Just be nice to yourself and try to enjoy what you do indulge in. I hope that helps. I am routing for you!
Hi! Just found your blog and am really enjoying reading it! You are such an inspiration!!!
Good luck on your way to your goal!!! :-)
I am telling you – pizza will do it everytime…it is the crack of food! Someone should study the combonation of carbs and protein etc to see what the deal is with Pizza. The same thing happens to me with enchiladas – if I make a pan I eat the whole pan and then I can’t stop eating for days!
Pizza Fiasco? Isn’t he a rapper? :)
Sometimes emotional stuff can make you want to eat, but sometimes it’s just the smell of a tasty pizza. . . .
