I Officially Suck!!

I do not know what is wrong with me! For almost 2 weeks now I am eating all the time. I start out with great intentions but end up failing everyday. I haven't exercised in over a month. I have had a lot of stress recently, kids, hubby, money, job, you know the usual stuff, but the stress seems to make me hungry. I have been eating close to 1500 calories a day for about 2 weeks now. I even woke up in the middle of the night and ate some Teddy Grahams. I went on a field trip with my son on Tuesday and I was so happy to be thinner and not be the "fat" mom that I was going to use that as my new motivation. But it is not working, i.e. the Teddy Grahams last night. So far today I have been doing good, but I can hear that candy jar across the office calling to me. I need to find a way to get myself back on track. I think I will try that 5 day pouch test starting Monday and see if that will work. Sorry if this seems to be a mess of jumbled thoughts. I am now done rambling.

Amy, you are not alone. I am doing the same, it's horrible and it got to stop inmediately. Focus on what you have accomplished so far and that should guide you thru. Go back to basics and stay focused, remember that NOTHING FEELS AS GOOD AS BEING THIN FEELS. Take care and do not beat yourself up over this, just keep on going, one day at the time. Hughs, Beatriz

Thanks for the encourgement. I keep trying to remember that mantra, but sometimes the craving just beats out of me.

Hi Amy You actually posted how I feel but am usually too embarressed to post. I have been making the WRONG choices for a while now. I am sooo addicted to carbs and see myself falling into my old habits. I have such a LONG way to go to get to goal and I WANT TO GET THERE. I feel like the BIGGEST SLOWEST LOSER and am tired of it. Sooooo, lets do this together. We have a support team here on the Dec boards and since we both are in the same "snack" boat lets support each other. HUgs Diana

I definitely can use the support and prayers. I know the right choices and I want to make them but that monster just won't back off. So far today I have avoided that candy calling my name and I WILL make it through this day. Lots of hugs, prayer and support to you too!

Amy, I woke up this morning and all I have thought about today is food, food, food. I too am under some stress and also it is almost time for aunt flo to visit. But also with all of that I don't want to start making excuses on why I am eating more I just want to nip it right now!!!! As alot of you know I have struggled with the carbs from the very beginning but I just can not afford to let this thing get out of hand again. None of us can! We have come to far to turn back now. I will pray for you guys and you pray for me love to my December sisters and brothers mini me

Thank you for the prayers and I will definitely add you to mine!!

Amy: I appreciate your jumbled thoughts....and it looks like you're not alone from the other posts. I appreciate your honesty....some days are better than others, for sure. Every day I want to make an excuse not to exercise, I remind myself of the day that I wanted to job but couldn't because of the pain in my knees. I then get down the stairs and GO! I wish you the best, and remember to WORK YOUR PROGRAM! You can do it! Behind you 200%. Regards, Megan

OOPS...typo, that is JOG, not job

Thanks Megan. I am going to do the 5 day pouch diet starting Monday to try and get back on track. I am going to wait till then because we are going to Disney with friends this weekend and I don't want to set myself up for failure. Plus I think it will be easier to stick to it at work so I can limit my access to other foods. Thanks again!
