oh ok...thanks ,-)
so rushing thru your meals! .......yeah a major disordered eating behavior with
me PRE and POST op as well. Its so common in overeaters...it takes a while for our brains to get the message...ya've overdone it....SO definately slow your eating down chewing to liquification 20 times per bite...count! .HELPs slow it down...and wait for it.....so your brain gets the message your done! ..Do an OH search lots of techniques to help master it!
Changing our behaviors is the solution!
I'd suggest you WRITE all your eating disordered BEHAVIORS down somewhere in your journal perhaps......that led to your obesity...because if YOU don't tackle em NOW during the rapid fat loss phase....while ya got yer training wheels on...they may come back n bite yer butt....thru-out your journey
Every single disordered eating behavior I had pre-op...I had em post op too!...only caged by restriction! Me...I suffer from SORES! yup ...SORES!! I made an acronym of my eating behaviors ...to remind myself EVERYDAY.... its amazing how much I have em under control...since I recognized em! Here's my sores breakdown..
S top
O vereating to discomfort... so what its a bite or two
more ...its still overeating!
R ushing thru meals..not chewing to liquification
E ating while distracted...tv puter reading talking ...not paying attention to my satiety
S kipping meals...overeating next meal, a culprit in weight regain...cuz our insulin gets so outta whack
It helps me anyway! Having
a PLAN and
strategies in place to conquer my eating behaviors help me too! i.e. When on the road...I have snacks beef jerky,/protein bars/roasted edamame/sf gum in the trunk of my car. At home I have my go-to foods...if Im horribly hungry..instead of eating my DHs
cheesecake pastries starin at me...I'll eat a few chicken strips/greek or carbmasters yogurt w/ a scoop of protein powder...and it quiets the beast...because they're safe foods for me....and I can then control that beast called hunger...instead of it controlling me!
If ya have a counselor, therapist great too! On that stalls n plateaus blog...some links on emotional eatin too may help!
Im sorry Sara....we all make so many many easily correctable mistakes, as you have found and you do seem to grasp the concept...that this is a whole new RElearning process.....I don't want ya to feel like Im puttin ya down for making your mistakes either ok!...read as much as ya can....tools are everywhere...which one you pick up n use, that WORKS effectively for YOU... is ultimately UP TO YOU! ..............CUZ BABY YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY!!.... get on the right track...and rock that sleeve!!
