Need Swift Kick in the Keester

Okay, this is the "tell all" post.  I've seen many others and really thought I was Teflon and wouldn't ever fall prey to the evil old habits.  I have had a rough few weeks emotionally and also having lots of knee pain.  Well tonight, I decided to have a good old fashioned pity party and ate more than I could imagine possible since my surgery.  I knew better than to do it all at once so I spaced it out so El Poucho wouldn't go crazy.  I'd love to say I or at least dumped, but no.  All I did was a huge disservice to myself.  I know what the trigger was and now I have to address it.  I'm calling in the AM to get an appt with the shrink and try to get my head screwed back on.  I ask you to keep me in your thoughts.  I get so much from OH and am thankful you guys are out there tonight.  Now to get back on the right track. 

Hi...I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.  I congratulate you on knowing you need help and going to get it. Things will be okay. Don't beat yourself up about it.  Keep us posted on how you are doing. Hugs, connie d

No kicks from me, only HUGS and prayers!  BTDT myself a few times with the old habits.  A word of warning, it gets more difficult each time to get back on track.  I wish you well! Debbie

I'm right there with you, so if you get any good kicks in the @##, please pass them on to me!  Why is it we have to 'test the limits'?  I think this is not unusual, but you are so right to address it.    I just went to a support meeting & I think that helped.    I can't even say I've been thru any troubles lates, except that I seem to want to graze all day long & sabotage my success.    I'm with you, it stops here, it stops now.   Not saying I'll not make mistakes again, but gotta draw the line somewhere.   BTW, I don't get sick or dump either.    When they come up with wls for the brain, I will be the first in line.   Sending you HUGS, no kicks for now.

You are taking the right steps and you will be fine. Food has been our fix for so long, it is crazy to think it will not rear it's ugly head from time to time. Tomorrow is a new day.

I agree with the others. Good for you getting the help you need. And yes this is the very best place to come to for advice and support! I know going through the emotional stuff I'm dealing with right now is SOOOOO hard without my drug of choice......good ole food. Can't stuff the pain or feelings down anymore with food since surgery and trying hard to learn NEW ways of dealing with my "stuff". Not easy, but I'm into this for the long haul. Today I choose HEALTH !!

Good Luck and keep us posted. Hugs,

We all do things we should not but recognizing it and doing something about it is brave and commendable!! Take care.

Debbie, Don't know if we've "met" yet. Hi, I'm Karen C. I just checked out your profile and photos. Absolutely stunning transformation! Don't you just love it? Karen C

Hi Karen how are you. Thank you for the compliment. Looks like you are doing great also!!

Nah - we don't pass out keester kicks, only hugs and kisses. There have been times that I can't even pinpoint the trigger to my demons - they pop up out of no where. Next time you decide to have a pity party, invite us. they are easier to endure with good company. Kisses Annette
