Accountability TUESDAY

Yes, I know this is MONDAY but I am starting this today so it is here for us to POST tomorrow. My eating has been so bad. We had graduation parties this weekend and I ate cake and am CRAVING sweets and junk. I have picked ALL day and I have to STOP or I will be right back to where I started. So I am using FITDAY tomorrow and I am posting tomorrow night my day HERE. I have NO idea why I am doing what I am doing..I am sitting here thinking WHY did you do this to go back to old habits? I REFUSE to gain back my weight and I REFUSE to weigh what I do now. See you ALL tomorrow night Diana

Diana.. I am right there with you.. had the same talk with myself.. my job sometimes just is more stress than I care for. I won't go into details. Tomorrow is our starting over point.. you and me.. ok? I took a long part of the evening to write a really huge journal entry and get real with my feelings/emotions etc.. its time to step up to the plate, own it and just DO IT.. no more excuses.. enough is enough. I'm here for ya sista.. we can do it! I got my new nano ipod today!! If that doesn't keep me energized to move my fanny I don't know what will! My scale is up up up.. I needed to see you post tonight.. thank you big hugs. See ya tomorrow.. right there.. Love ya surgery sister!

Thanks Melissa..I sat here in tears and thought WHAT THE H*LL am I doing. I am sooo making BAD choices. A 200 calorie bagel and cream cheese is not the right choice for breakfast followed by a taco bell taco for lunch and another for dinner..hello they were COLD. I am soo bad at me and I am the only one who can change it. So tomorrow is a NEW DAY for ME!!! Thanks sooo much Right back at ya sista!!!

Aw ((((Diana)))) know that you are human and mistakes happen, don't beat yourself up. Instead make a pact with yourself to just do better and try harder, you can do it. Looks like many of us have come out of the woodwork.. look at what your post stirred up! I am so happy to know right now that I am not alone. It is so STRESS relieving to know that. NOW... lets reel it back in.. take the control - we are better than bad food choices and weight gain as a result.. we deserve more happiness than that. We have a tool we have been blessed with! We just have to WORK it.. work it with me Diana.. we can do this together. You are not alone.. I am with you 100%. I will see you here tonight. Be proud of your post.. you have managed to bring a few others out that are struggling also. I know I am tearing up over it.. it makes me happy to know that we are all still a family and want to conquer our problems/addictions and together this strong family CAN do JUST THAT! You rock.. see u tonight! *hugs*

I need this too. I went for my 18 month chckup and am up 2 pounds since I was there for my one year. I need to curb it before it getsout of control. I never reached my goal, but am way past the my doctors and I want to stay that way. I did really good uesterday until I got back from the gym at around 8pm. I then proceeded to eat goldfish crackers and canded nuts. Feel like the rest of my day was awesome just to F up at the end. Need to find a way to curb evening eating. Any ideas? Amy

Hi Amy! Start fresh with Diana and I today! I just finished a warm mug of decaff coffee with protein powder. I am gonna be very diligent this week to "detox" off the crap carbs. I have been eating way too many of them. Gonna try Susan Maria's (bariactriceating.com) protein train for 3 days. Take it from there. I am learning I don't need so much milk with my protein shakes and get just as much satisfaction with them. She recommends doing a protein shake every 2-3 hours for 3 days. Add 1 light meal in that is lower carb if need be. I will do salad/veggies and grilled meat with husband in the evenings. I can do this. I need to quit craving the crap. Not sure this is feasible for anyone else but if you wanna try it, this is what I am doing this week. Then I am going back to my balanced eating plan on Friday or Saturday. Did you purchase the beck diet solution book by chance? It helps me remember to "buckle down" when I start making stupid choices. Keep posting with us.. don't disappear on us again ok? I have disappeared one to many times and you can pretty much guess.. If I am not here.. I am not doing well. I am admitting this now. Meet us back here tonight.. be accountable with us! We can do this! This board has always been such a supportive network of people. Be sure you get your water in too and vitamins.. I find that when I slack on these.. the rest is just poor also. Hugs! So glad you came on today to admit your are struggling along with us. Together we can change that. Love ya Amy!

Lord....everything that you say....i say ditto.....i had 3 ----count them 3 protein bars Monday -i am craving sweets too.....Naturally i was not going to tellyou all what i had done.....but it appears we are all struggling........Tuesday is a new day.....(but i have already had 1 protein bar) I am going to call it PMS this week --but stress is the evil that i am battling.....i need a new stress reducer.......exercise should be the answer but i cannot talk myself into it.....i need to call my therapist........before it is too late and i am tipping the scales at the big 300 again........ B: CC yogurt protein bar (1) S: 4oz Turkey 4 oz RF cheese L: Protein Bar (2) S: Protein Bar(3) D: 6oz fish spinach s: watermelon s: apple with peanut butter cal 1690!

Hang in there dawn. I hear ya.. those protein bars get me every time! I have a few that I keep on hand that I don't care for that much.. sad huh. This way i don't eat them. I keep em there for emergency outings or if my blood sugar crashes in my purse if I am out. I also keep one in my gym bag. So far not eating those.. b/c why eat 200 calories of something that isn't wonderful tasting? It works for me. I have had to eat one during a crash before and when that happens I could care less what I am eating as I just want to feel better and hurry up and get that sugar level back up again. It is good that you are figguring out your triggers.. I would say get those bars out of your house.. it isn't worth it my friend. If you are like me at all, you just won't keep your hands off them good enough and they will always be there calling your name even if you are being strong and saying no, why have the stress of them sitting in your cabinet? one less decision to have to make. It isn't there, you aren't gonna eat them. Ok meet us back here tonight. I am protein shaking it this week with maybe a light meal/snack in there each day if I need it. I have been looking at those who have done the "protein train" on susan marias site and they have been having good success with it. You drink a shake every 2-3 hours (without milk) and they are MORE than satisfied and lose the cravings.. that is what I am talking about. I need to detox and I need to drink more water.. I am so puffy. Retaining tons of water fro not drinking any! See you here TONIGHT.. ok? be here.. make yourself committed. Looks like there are 4-5 of us at least that are admitting we are struggling now.. ladies we need to nip it now.. we are 18 months out and we lead the path.. its do or don't time.. I feel. I see too many postops at this point make bad decisions and end up crying on the graduate board about a 40 lbs minimum regain.. this won't be us! Not if I can help it! See you here tonight.. you can do this Dawn.. we can do it. Reel it back in. Take the control. Hugs and Love you!

I am going to a t-ball game tonight so i wont be able to meet with you guys....Today has been better.....(i have had 2 bars though). The night time eating and snacking has been the worst for me....if i can get up, get out and do stuff.....(not restaurants) i will be better off.....i want to stop the caffiene too Melissa......but i am just not there yet.....trying to fix the eating first....that protein train sounds like just the trick...! Talk to you later

I need to use them as a meal replacement not was a SNACK as they add up. I am going to get a box of the 100 calorie ones to have as a snack and I am going to bed early as the nights are KILLING me..it is 642 and I should go now
