A Revelation!
Oct 27, 2009
I just realized something last night. Whenever I drink my protein shakes, I feel like I am on track - making the right decisions. But whenever I eat something (ANYTHING - even protein!), I feel guilty - like I have failed for the day. I don't know if it is because I feel like more than a couple bites is too much or (in the case of veggies or fruits) that I shouldn't be having these (my surgeon says mostly protein with very little added veggies or fruits). It's not like I load up on fruits and veggies. I might have 1/4 cup of berries or 1/3 of a banana or 1 cup green salad - and I think these things are important. And maybe my surgeon does think that is okay - it is just that he always has stressed the protein, protein, protein and it was like veggies and fruits are an afterthought. Now, don't get me wrong - I eat plenty - and I don't think I eat too much (other than those days I graze!) - I have never gained weight back, but my weight loss has stalled because of my grazing at times. But I need to get over those guilt feelings when I eat. It is so hard to develop a "good" relationship with food - I mean, it's my enemy! Right? Wrong. Only those added sugars and refined carbs are my enemy - and overeating even the good foods isn't good for me. This is what I'm working on now, and backontrackwithbarbara.com has been great this past week. I hope it continues to be as supportive.
