Topic: RE: WDY eat Sat
Thanks Holly - I didn't post what I ate coz it would have taken all night to write it down - little bits of lots of stuff
I must admit, I do feel that some others may judge what I eat, so it's good to know that you wont. I have found this post really helping each time I join in, so want to keep doing it.
Hey Andi,
no I'm not clever enough to chose and enjoy one thing - I think the worst was buying a bag of chocolate and toffee candy, and I ate most of the bag throughout the evening. I eventually stopped when I realised that I wasn't really even tasting it anymore, but stopped way too late. What a waste of calories.
Thanks for not flaming me. It's good to know I'm not the only one who 'treats' every now and then - I just did it for the wrong reasons this weekend, but I learnt my lesson.

So what will you do on Monday or Sunday night to get yourself ready for a good week? I bought myself the large bottles of water so i can make a concentrated effort to get my minimum fluids in. I am going to pack myself lunch and snacks so that at work I don't make poor choices in the gift shop! I've got myself signed up for a kick boxing class on Tuesday that i'm all excited for. I just started a new job and the kids are back to their school/sports schedule so i'm not sure when to get in my exercise but I know that i need to get it in. At the end of the month my dance classes start up again and I know that will be a thrill for me so if i can watch the weight long enough for dancing to start up i'll be fine. ANDI

I don't usually post to these because I choose not to not because I feel that anyone will judge me, but thank you so much. I chose to eat foods that made me sick and I got sick...i knew it was going to happen just not on what quantity. I miss jelly beans and the sugar free ones are lethal for me, the gas could take out Rhode Island i tell ya! Lately my eating is erratic because I don't take the time to plan properly, shame on me, I eat well when I take a few minutes and make my breakfast and lunch! ANDI

I decided a while ago that I was going to junk out. The boys and I had been good, so we went to the store and bought a couple of bags of junk... chips, chocolate, jelly beans etc the boys were picking and so was I . I picked all the things that I had been thinking that I would like to eat and wasn't. I figured that I would get it all out of my system in one fell swoop.
We got home and had a feast of crap. The boys were in heaven. They are 10- 11 and 12 yrs old so it doesn't take much to do this
I couldn't eat all that I wanted, I had to be careful to eat a little of everything so that I could get each thing in. It was heaven... I don't dump so there was no dumping, only the familiar feeling of having way too much sugar.
I haven't wanted to do it since. I tried last night to get out and get some icecream as a reward for doing well over the week. The kids were acting up and we stayed home instead and my Saturday reward was pretty uneventful.
I hope that you don't post your food because you feel like you will be judged by it. I am the last one to judge someone elses eating. I wanted to have this thread so that I could be open about what I was eating and therefore having to think about it before I do it. If people only write down what they eat when they are good, then how to we support each other?

Yes I find that my demons are still my demons ( chocolate, yea you chocolate! I'm talking to you). Of course, like everyone else I was hoping in the back of my mind that this craving would not return postop and until about 8 months post op it did not.
Also I know that everyone is individual and we shouldn't compare ourselves with others but its only human nature to do so. If we didn't compare ourselves with others or an ideal ( even if just in our heads) most of us would still be preop and not post op.
I think I have the same rationale, illogical as it is, to eat poorly as eating well isn't working.
Okay enough whining. I will really try to live the rules and not give in (at least not as much) to head hunger.

Did you enjoy any of the foods you ate? Eating poorly is bad if you didn't even get to enjoy the foods that you chose to pig out on. If you had one really good piece of chocolate don't you think that would have served you better then having a ton of junk? It's all about the choices my sweety baboo!
On Friday i had a fabulous party to go to and I ate poorly and paid dearly. Thankfully my boss has nexium on her or i'd have died from heart burn.....fried calamari, parmagiano reggiano cheese and prosciutto are all the appetizers (I got to eat them twice due to the wonders of vomiting!) but i did not eat dinner and I danced all evening which was great and I had a bite of tira misu which was just fabulous and due to feeling like poop i only had a bite! The scales did not tell of my adventures (probably because I puked) but i've got bad belly bloat if that counts for anything. Hugs, ANDI

I am with you, I am becomming spiteful, I went down another size and I think that gives me carte blanche to do as i like, uhhh NO it does not. I am reading an amazing book (i'll email you the title as it escapes me) about a woman who lost over 150 pounds with weight loss surgery and how to keep it off. She has enlisted the help of therapists, exercise physiologists and nutrional counselors and there are some awesome tips in it....what's nice is that there are also activities that you do that keep you on the right track. I am a great journaler but i've gotten away from it and that's key to my success, if i write out my fears, strengths and weaknesses then they don't seem as powerful as when they aren't on paper! Hugs, ANDI

these are kittens Ruthy, I don't have the patients or the time for puppies, this is a HUGE year for our family, the oldest boy has his bar mitzvah coming up, he's a starter on the football squad, the middle boy is taking skating, hebrew class and school and my princess starts her hebrew lessons and school and she is undecided about dance or gymnastics. ANDI
Topic: RE: Weekend Plans?
kittens or puppies? I LOVE the names - and runts are my favorites too. We have a little kitten who is the runt of a litter of 5 - she is going to a friends home today and I just know I'm going to miss her. We have been calling her baby.

As you'll see from my other post - I daren't itemise what I ate here - it would give you all too much of a shock!
Needless to say, my day was full of carbs, little protein and lots of junk...
The day is over, I can start over. What a great creation a new day is
