5DPT, Day 3 ~ This is crazy

You are doing great!!! 128 # Wow you are little. Keep up the good work.

We had beggers night Tuesday night. I will fess up, I had candy, I enjoyed it, and the next day when I went to get more I just told myself that it is a new day trick or treat is OVER, NO MORE CANDY FOR Tena. I gave the left over candy away. I did good yesterday. Even though our church had Trunk or treat, I didn't have any candy. In about three weeks time I have lost 9 #. Could be better, but Hey, I didn't gain 9#. I will be out 5 yr's in March 2008. I haven't felt this good about my diet in three and a half yr's. I am eating right again.

Everyone have a great day, Oh wow I just thought of something. This is Thanksgiving month. OH BOY!!! We will need each other for the next couple of months.

Bigs Hugs to yall

Tena, yes it's November and Thanksgiving but think of all that turkey.....healthy protein and I only get in during the holiday season, my husband doesn't like turkey, lol. Congrats on the -9# that is great.....one day at a time together remember we will overcome our shortfalls.

Oh yes I love the turkey too.

I struggle with the same thing some times.  One of my coping mechanisms is to make a food plan in the morning, pack only those things to take with me, and just pace my eating throughout the day.  I eat 6-7 times per day - small meals and planned snacks - which keeps me from ever getting super hungry.  It also helps when I start craving something to eat because most of the time I've got another "feeding" coming within an hour or so.  In some ways, I feel like I do eat continuously, but since I make a plan almost every day, I make sure I'm eating healthy things.   If I do allow myself to get started with processed carbs, I definitely want more, more, more, so I have to be super careful about that.  Most days I'm successful, some days I'm not.  But I just take it one day at a time...   Good luck on your continuing journey -  Kellie

Dana, I know exectly what you are talking about. I fight it too. I tell people I had GBS, not brain surgery, cause I think about food all the time.

YOU ARE DOING GREAT, YOU CAN DO IT, GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR. (TELL YOURSELF) I'M GONNA DO THIS!!!

It is so great to see you back on here.  I have been wondering about you.  I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone.  If I didn't have to eat I would be great.  LOL.  It is like if I don't ever put any food in there I do fine, but once I eat it starts it for the day.  Food is on my mind from then on.  It is a daily struggle to stay on track.   Melissa

Melissa, it's good to see you too, life is settling down some so I can come to the boards a little.  After Christmas I'll have a new computer and we be here as often as I can, I miss yall.
