Bad Weekend
Hi Amy,
Thanks for posting this. I've also been going through some crappy eating habits. Seems I've been experimenting more with food, and found that I also don't have any dumping from carbs or sugar. Latley, Halloween candy has infiltrated my house and my mouth.
I also seemed to be able to eat more this week. In the past I would just have 1/2 of a packet of oatmeal, and the past few days I've been having the whole packet of oatmeal. Not sure what I'm doing to myself...maybe a 5 month rut or something?
But, hearing that I'm not alone helps me to be aware and get back on track. We've come so far, and sure we're not eating like the "old" pre-op days, but yes this is scary when start pushing the limits again. So, I'm going to buckle down and get back on track, start measuring again and keeping track of protien and calories.
Thank you for the honesty, and helping me "fess up" also.

No no..thank YOU Kelle. I think that's half what I was looking for in the post...other people who are going through the same thing to tell me I am not alone!!!! Don't get me wrong..all the words of encouragement so far have been great too!!!!
I am rededicating myself TODAY. Measuring...tracking....no more out of control "binges".
Thanks!!
OH MY GOSH!!! I AM NOT ALONE!! Thank you everyone for making me feel "normal" I figured I was the only one "screwing up". Carbs and sugar does not bother me either. But you are right - before I would have eaten a big Mac, Big fries, apple pie etc, been stuffed but still! Now I probably could not eat 1/4 of it. I haven't tried but what someone said is true. We can't beat ourselves up over eating something "wrong" We are human and just need to be aware of our portions. We have all came too far to go backwards.
Confession is good for the soul!!
heehee
I am finding that I am getting away with A LOT more today than I could three months ago.
now I know that honeymoon is not just 'my' honeymoon, but my pouch's honeymoon. today I sucked down a regular pop, I just know that blew my caloric intake limit.
repeat after me:
God? grant me the serenity to step away from the Carbs.
to accept that lean meats and leafy greens was my choice forever
the courage to call my carb sponsor when I feel the need to eat TWO hushpuppies from Long John Silvers the same day I sucked down a 20 oz RooT BeeR
and the wisdom to know that a 4 oz pouch can not hold 6 oz of chili, chips and cheese from Wendys!
amen
