I am up and down!

May 02, 2011

Continuously I am up and down on the scale, which is directly related to my emotions...as a logical person you would think I would be able to control this a little better since I know what the problem is!  I cannot stop myself from eating 6 Oreo or a snack sized candy bar (or two).  The only difference is that it is 3 Oreo's then 3 more in 15 minutes where before surgery it was 1/2 bag of Oreo's with a quart of milk.  Now it is a bite sized candy bar not 1 or 2 candy bars.  Logically it doesn't make sense to self soothe with food, but I don't think logic enters into this equation at all.  Some weeks, I am perfect to the "T", and I lose 4 lbs or more.  Then I have a great success and seem as if I am sabotaging my weight loss efforts.  What do I have to gain (but weight) from eating that comforting little food?  I really have to get my head on better.  The good thing is I have a weight loss partner at work that tries to keep me in check, though she won't deny me if I really have to have something she just reminds me to journal my food intake.  Even though she is close to her goal weight and I have 90 lbs to go we both strugle with the exact same things (She has not had WLS though).  I weigh on Thursday so I have 2 more days to get  going in the right direction....wish me luck!  Be well everyone.   S
