Feeling better!

Jul 31, 2012

Today I feel good all around to see my weight steady at 270. I need to still get the motivation to get up and work out.  I was reading someones post about mindless eating recently and it really hit home to me.  I have always had terrible eating habits.  The biggest one is that I seldom ate throughout the day.  I would get up and do other stuff but eating was never a focus until dinner and then at that point I was able to get a second and sometimes even a third helping.  I am so glad to not be there although weirdly at times I get frustrated because I want to enjoy something I made that seems delicious but my pouch says enough. And... if I do dare and eat that one last bite, oh boy do I pay for it! 

Im noticing that my puking has really decreased and I really think its cuz I am actually paying attention to when to stop.  Why the heck did it take me so long to get it together?  I guess its cuz I just couldnt fathom me only eating a little bit, especially after so many years of sitting down and eating a lot!  lol  My mind needed to connect!  I still have to work on eating more frequently though.  I still tend to only eat once or twice and I know thats a NO NO! 

Today, I baked some turkey peperoni slices for snacking.  I have been snacking on potato chips A LOT lately!!!  TOO MUCH! The hubby has come into the wagon of also losing weight and getting healthy, now I can really eliminate all these fattening snacks and bring in more healthy stuff.  I have been finding myself researching more and more about bariatric friendly recipes and have found some cool stuff.  I am a very good cook and my kids and hubby absolutely love my cooking and I am an expert in seasoning and making food taste good.  I just need to learn what are the better healthier alternatives that dont compromise flavor which is big in my family.

Since the beginning after my RNY, I have been able to tolerate sugar well and oh boy was that trouble for me.  I was never a big sugar freak but do love my hard candy and chocolate especially at night.  I MUST learn to portion!  I dont want to eliminate things that I enjoy altogether because eventually I know me, I will end up binging!  So, its about managing it wisely.  So, things to work on this week is: Decrease fattening snacks and add in healthy ones, get up and moving, eat more frequently (set up some sort of schedule and stick to it). 

Wish me luck!  I can do this!  I WILL DO THIS!!
