Dan Nied's Fortress of Weight Loss: Day 141
Published May 14, 2008
That’s where the bulimia idea came in. It got me to thinking about the perils of this weight loss, and how I need to steady myself before I unknowingly bring a whole other world of problems to my life. It’s not really worth it if I trade obesity for bulimia. Instead, I’ll have to figure out how to eat like a normal person.
Anyway, back to the diet. Good Monday and Tuesday, eating-wise. Yes, I am still eating the same basic foods (cereal, sandwich, salad, fruit). I won’t apologize for that because I actually look forward to each of those meals. However, I do understand the value of shaking it up every now and again, but it seems that I go through phases with my menus, changing them up every couple of months to whatever I like. I remember in the 100 Days, I went through a stretch of Healthy Choice sausages (which I can’t find out here) and a few weeks of nothing but chicken breasts.
I figure at least now I am eating a ton of fruits and vegetables, and also eating Egg Beater omelets (with fat-free cheese, mushrooms, and onions) once or twice a week for breakfast.
And I’ll say that salad is the best part of every day (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, broccoli, cottage cheese, low fat thousand island, a few fat free croutons, and fat free cheese). And the fruit at night, well it’s good, but it also helps me poop. (And that’s one of the more important parts of my life).
As for my weight, Sunday’s little episode swore me off the scale for a while. On the elliptical, I am punching in 262, and that sounds about right. My next weigh-in will probably be on Saturday or Sunday, but I’ll probably get curious before then. So I’ll let you know.
Still looking to get under 260. That will be a fine day when it happens.

Keep up the good work, Dan. It's very important that you see these dangers signs as they're happening (and then eventually before they happen) as to stave off bulimia.
Did you ever go out and get the Biggest Loser Cookbook? I think I'm going out in the next few days. It's been harder and harder to get my parents to stick to healthy food and while the lack of switching it up doesn't seem to bother you maybe it'll help them.
