Back on Track

Who wants to help me start a support line to get back on track.  I need a WLS trainer to kick my butt instead of making me feel okay about making bad choices. I have been in a cycle of eating, feeling depressed, being lazy because I'm depressed, then eating some more.  A little weight has slowly crept up, 3 pounds in about 2 weeks.  I can't get my stomach fixed if I'm like this. No more excuses.  Confession time Last night I had some bites of a Reeses, I didn't even get sick.  Then I had a weigh****chers meal, but I ate the pasta in it This morning, I ATE DOUGHNUTS.  Am I crazy, I got sick but I ate them.  What is wrong with me, I've worked so hard to do this.  I can't fail.  Anybody else need help???  I'm 22 months out Thanks Mary

Mary, we all go through periods like this.  No, you won't go back to your old ways...I won't let you.  A little slip here an there happens, and I have a 5 lb. float up and down that I deal with even when I don't eat bad things.  Don't know why, my body just likes to go up and down. I have been trying to up my protein shakes to 3 to 4 a day (getting better at it).  I keep hearing if you get your protein up your cravings for the wrong things gets better. Keep your chin up.......

Thanks Susann,

   As of 1:00pm today, I straightened out.  I am drinking a double protein shake right now.

I have some chicken I can cook for dinner.  Then a shake tonight.  Please don't let me sabotage myself.

Oh Mary!   I know exactly what you are saying.  Yesterday ...well last night was a terrible ngiht for me. Mike has been out of town all week and after I put the kids to bed I had this very familar feeling of loneliness and what always accompanied that......food! I can't even start to tell you everything I put in my mouth.  I was so upset, mad at myself. I finally just went to bed.  I decided that today was going to be a better day.  I have had a protein bar, and protein shake  and I went to the gym.. I am sitting here thinking about food.  It is truly a beast within us!! I know how you feel and I am right there with you!  We can do this.  Forget the donuts this morning and focus on the rest of the day.  I know you can do it!!!!!!!   Love you girl!!!

Thanks Melissa,    I've got to get the exercise thing going on.  And the sad thing is, I used to lifeguard and swim a mile a day.  I can go to my neighborhood pool anytime and swim.  That's it, I'm going to swim tonight.  Keep kicking my butt Mary

it must be in the air!!! I just mentioned this to my girlfriend this morning. I havent even had WLS, but this week has been BAD... Ive been out to each every day this week... OMG!!!

So this morning I went online and found a weigh****chers meeting near me! I have GOT to do something. And I told my hubby that I am going back to walking at night. I am getting to FAT for my FAT clothes!!! OMG!!! You know the thing about more protein/less carbs... Ketosis... and after a few days... the cravings fade!   UGH!!! I hate that I have this addicition... Id rather it be anything else... but I dealt it to myself so its up to me!!!  TONIGHT!!! I SHALL EXERCISE!!! AND I BROUGHT MY LUNCH TODAY!!! WOO HOO ME!!!!

OMG You are so right.  And isn't it funny how much better we feel when we cut the carbs out.  I'm with you.  I'm exercising tonight no matter what!!!  Thanks a bunch for the encouragement.  I don't feel like such a failure now Mary

Mary,

If you would like to meet somewhere with the kids and go walking I am so up for that. And I havent had a protein shake in forever now...so I'm gonna go in the kitchen and make me one right now.

We CAN DO THIS!!!!

Thanks for the inspiration...I needed it also.

Jen

Thanks Jen,     You made me get off my butt and make one too.  And I'm having chicken tonight with fresh squash.  I'd love to meet and walk sometime, we'll have to figure it out.  I also belong to the Crowfield pools and Scott and I spend lots of time there on the weekends. Mary

This is a photo of my favorite T-shirt that i bought online.  My PT said he loved it. It pretty much says it all... There is another one that says "If you don't want Junk in your trunk, don;t put it in your mouth!" It is so simple, yet so hard to do. No more coddling from me.  We know what we have to do.  Now we just got to do it! Kathy
