I am having a really bad day

Hello All, Today, has been a terrible day for me and I am not sure why. Today all I have wanted to do is eat,eat and some more. I am not like eating a lot, I just want to eat at different time and its not all bad stuff, I mean still apples ,grapes and celery and crackers and I have drank 3 glasses of juice, I don't normally have any think for breakfast but my sugarless breakfast drink, today i ate fruit too. I am lose it no i am gaining it,Right? help , I go to my new Doctor on Wed. Give me some prayers, please. Gail

youre certainally in myprayers! If its any consolation, I felt like I ate, and ate, and ate today. In fact, I had breakfast twice! Had pineapple and cottage cheese , then a couple hours later (but still before lunch time) i had to have some yogurt/granola. Had some fish for lunch, then soup vegetable beef (healthy request) soup and a little more cottage cheese for dinner. Still well under in calories for the day, but sometimes I worry about my snacking (ie two breakfasts)

Darrah, I do have one thing on my side my allows no junk food in the house. She does the shopping so did eat things that were not 100% bad. I just wanted to eat. I feel so bleesed that you are keeping me in your prayers and you and your family in mine. Hugs, Gail Maybe its the heat !!!!!! I did drink all my water too.

I forgot the main words my wonderful , caring daughter does the store thing so that means no junk food. I think its getting late . I can't tpye all my words. LOL. I am going to bed. I think I need some sleep Hugs & Blessings, Gail

I still have those days too! I just try to make it a healthy choice and start fresh tomorrow! Heat and Nerves, that what I will blame it on for ya, LOL! Hope everything goes well at the doc's tomorrow- will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Hope you have a better day today!!! Practice, DRINK DRINK DRINK and maybe that will help. Hugz- your Dawn

Hey!!!! Love the changing pic in ya comments...how'd ya do that?

could be maybe your body was needing something and knew it....then to nerves due to your app with your doc....hopefully soon your to be a loser and think back to how good something was....i been having to stop at a rootbeer stand so finally i did and uck was nothing like i ever remember it tasting like...LOL...

Oh Gail I have been there so many times! I have been battling all last week with eating more than I should! I wouldn't beat yourself up too bad...at least the stuff you are eating is healthy!! Good Luck at the doctor!! Sam

I find my worse enemy is boredom...or sleepiness. If I'm bored, I'll munch..so I've learned to get up & get busy doing anything that requires both hands. If I'm sleepy & trying to stay up & watch TV with Bill...then it's a big time struggle! I want to spend time with him, but I've found myself eating just to stay awake! So...I guess my advise would be to listen to your body more. Alot of people eat when what they actually are is thirsty. When you want to munch, drink some water & wait a half hour. See if doing something active will take your mind off of it. If after a half hour you see that it is a 'hungry', not just a 'I want it', then go for it...in moderation! I think to be successful, sometimes you have to make a deal with your body . Give it a little of what it wants ( a sf cookie) but make it give you an extra 1/2 mile walking in exchange for it. Looking at what you ate...I'd say the worse thing you had was the juice. Most juices are loaded with sugar. Switch that to ice cold water or Crystal Light. Try keeping low/no fat cheese in the house to go with those crackers and right now is the season for melons, so enjoy them while you can! Add some low-fat dip (Kroger has some really good french onion low fat dip) to your fridge to go with that celery. Sometimes, the taste buds need to think it is cheating..so give them the healthy version of a 'cheat'. They'll pester you less . Good luck! Sherri
