Having a bad food day BLAH

Well hi guys, This is me complaining. I have been in a funk. The last 2 days I have made bad food choices. I feel really guilty. I'm eating because I'm bored. Whats wrong with me..there is lots of things that need to be done but I don't have the energy to do them because I'm not eating right. I'm sticking to my portions but I didn't put protein first and I'm just eating whenever I want to..I need to stop this its very bad and I have worked hard to break this habit. Its been raining so no walking outside and the Gym is closed until wed because they are moving locations so I'm just stuck with nothing really to look forward to. Also being at my dad's is hard because they eat foods I'm not used to eating and some times I feel like there is a good choice to make. Also they all give me flak about not eating enough and stuff like that. I know they just worry but I'm doing ok. My weight loss hasn't really changed since I have been here but I do feel a little different. I need to get out of this funk and start making the right choice. Am I alone in this? Thanks for reading, Rebecca

I'm there with ya. I didn't even eat until 3 pm yesterday. I was just so sick of figuring out things. When I woke up this morning I'd lost 1.5 lbs from yesterday morning. Then I felt guilty. I got my fluids in but I just didn't want the hassle of eating. Then today I made mini cini muffins for my daughter. There were no no-nos in there so I had one. I went to see my grandfather and he wanted to go to this fancy-shmancy restaurant for lunch. I found nothing on the menu so I got a plain turkey sandwich. I took the meat out of the bread, took one little bite and it was awful. So much for that. I was bad and had 2 french fries. But, all in all it's better than the plateful I would have had before. We just got back from the diner and I got a cheesesteak. I was a very good girl and just ate the steak out of the roll. I probaby had 1/4 of it. They're pretty small. So now I sit here feeling blah because I made no good choices today. I'll try to get back on track tomorrow but today and yesterday I could care less if food passes these lips. I'm getting the water and the sf kool aid in but as for chewing.....no thanks. I'd rather pass. Hang in there Rebecca. It's gotta get better than this! * Cyndi *

(((( hugs to you both)))) i know exactly what you are going through, and for me, when i make a bad food choice i feel like i am going to pay for it. like, an extra pudding cup.... that blows the whole surgery. i know in my mind it wont, but the guilt is really harsh. but you will get back on track. i can imagine how hard it is to have all your food choices scrutinized too... that would be really hard to handle! well, just wanted to send some love and tell you that i've been there!

Seems like were all having out slumps lately. I was feeling/eating great until a couple of weeks ago. My mood swings have returned with a vengance and I just haven't felt like myself in a bit. Eating has become a chore and I just don't get the same satisfaction from eating at all. No apetite and all food just seems blah to me. Hand in there Rebecca, it'll pass. Just make the best choices you can, it's always better than the opposite. I know I retaliate every once in a while and have more veggies than protein, but what can ya do? Hope you can get yourself out of the funk soon...you're doing great!

Don't feel bad Rebecca, You are probably still losing and every once in a while we go a little nuts. I went with my husband, my son and some friends to "KNOTT'S BERRY FARM" for their Champange Brunch. OH MY GO**** was delicious and I ate small portions but all the wrong stuff. I sat on the pot for two days and was miserable but I lost 2 pounds so that gave me the incentive to start fresh with just protein and I am back on the right path. We are all just human and need to remember that we want this surgery to be successful so we have to think "Good Food". Hugs, Esther
