Fell off the Wagon.

Had a really BAD weekend foodwise, Ate way too much of all the wrong stuff, did not drink my iced tea... Stressful and very busy weekend, what with my mom moving in (that is the good part) and all the work we had to do this weekend... I don't even want to THINK about food today...feel way too icky... And I really hate how easy it is to slip back into those old ways of dealing with stress (with food)... So I will try a semi-liquid diet today, just to get all that crap out of my system. Will have my protein cofee for breakfast, drink lots of iced tea all day, and maybe have some yogurt for lunch...Don't know about dinner yet.. And I wil ltry to stay away from salt....I ate way too much salt this weekend and am so bloated I cant even get my rings on. SOOO feeling like my former self, it's not funny...out of control eating really brings me back....Fell off the (food) wagon big time..I always used to say food was my drug of choice, and it is so true. I am an addict. I can never forget that. ... Well, the good part is that I have the ability to get up and get back on track...I will do that today....Used to be a time I could not get back on track once I fell off...That's how I got to be Morbidly Obese in the first place. I will also make sure I get moving today...Exersize was not a problem this weekend, carrying all those boxes down from the third floor of my mom's apartment was quite the exersize!!! But it has also left me achy , so I need to get moving to work "the kinks" out of my system...SO I will Walk, Walk, Walk today... Did I mention I HATE feeling this way!!???? Love, Dorota

Hi Dorota, I know what a horrible feeling it is to stress eat, and then it isn't really comforting because you feel so guily as you are eating. I never used to feel guily in my previous life before WLS. I found food as very comforting and felt that I deserved to eat 4 or 5 cupcakes! Now The guilt is not worth it. I still battle with eating everything on my plate and really need to buy smaller plates. Good luck with getting back on track and walking! Sandy

thanks...went ok today, although I always pay for a binge like this weekend...been feeling like crap all day and barely ate enough...and everything I did eat sat like a stone in my pouch.....And the guilt is making me crazy too......

Just make sure you get enough protein in. You can do that in liquid form. Right? Don't want to sabotage things by going the other way too far either. Just an observation. And remember... you are human... T.

Hi Dorota It is not too late to go back on right track. You did the right hting by being honest and admit it. You are also using your tools to keep your track . I am proud of you for this! You know we are not perfect and make your mini goal wish list to help you to stick your mini goal for reward! Hugs Kathy K

maybe getting another cool boots for reward!!!! LOL

BOOTS....Now you're talking.....I have my eye on these red leather babies...

thanks sweetie...And I did make sure I got enough protein in....must remember, am still human....must remember, am still human...

I pass on part of a "daily" that my 87 yr old mom sends out each day (hence daily)... The Buddhist meditation teacher Pema Chodron, in response to someone asking why we continually forget, says: 'We forget and remember, forget and remember. That's why it's called PRACTICE.' And so we must practice every day and retrain our minds and hearts, and most importantly, be present for WHATEVER it is. There is a marvelous quote that says: If we're supposed to learn from our mistakes, then we must need to make a lot of them." ......................from SARK's book, Transformation Soup. BIG HUG!

How true..... And an important lesson for this here broad.... I still fight that old feeling that if I am not Perfect, I am a failure....ANd NOBODY is perfect...so, why the heck do I feel the need to be so special??? lol So, practice, practice, practice...and drink my icetea!!! ANd, have I mentioned that I love you to pieces????
