This week has not been too bad, most working days were just fine, the
weekend was not so fine (had quite a few drinks on Sunday night, a
friend came into town) and yesterday was just plain terrible: The
first thing I did after getting off the plane was to buy a small box
(12 pieces or so) of See's candies and eat the whole bunch, this
followed by a couple of normal meals but ending the day with an It's
It ice cream sandwich and four Oreo cookies. Yikes. Gotta get back
to making food diary entries right away, that helps me not binge.
I'm setting up regular reminders so that I remember to make entries.
That should hopefully help a lot.

Sunday: Regular breakfast, a fairly regular lunch, a heavy afternoon
snack (probably 450 kcal of some cashew brittle), a wheat bun with ham
and cheese for dinner, a small portion of popcorn and a large portion
of peanut M&M's for an evening snack. This is _not_ what Sundays are
supposed to be like.
Dinner was linguini with roasted red peppers, mushrooms and shrimp in
a basil cream sauce. This was a fairly large serving that I reduced
by eating all of the shrimp and mushrooms but only about 2/3rds of the
pasta. Still felt quite full after the meal.
