Being accountable!

I've gotta "fess up"!  I've been letting the carb monster creep into my life as well as grazing!  The scale shows it too!  I'm up about 4 pounds in the last 3 days!   (I know, I know, it's not that much!!!)  BUT.......I think it's time to get back on track!!!  I ALSO haven't been doing much for exercise, except for skating last weekend!

SO.........BACK on track today!!!!!    NO MORE GRAZING!!!!  I'm cutting the carbs out (even that yummy oatmeal cake that DH made yesterday!) AND.....I've already done a 5.3 mile walk/jog  and some arm weight lifting!  Gonna go find some skating this afternoon!!!!  WOOHOO!!!

Thanks for letting me vent/share and helping me get back on track!!!!!!

Enjoy your day!!!!!!
Hugs!

Hey Ruth..

Getting back on track is definately a must do.  It may only be a 4 pound gain but we know how 4 turns to 10 then to 20 and so on and so forth.  Ask yourself what is eating at you?  Perhaps there is something bothering you that you are not aware of or don't think is a big deal.  Just  check in with yourself.  Hope you have fun skating.  Can't wait to get back to doing stuff like that.  I love to skate...ice or roller.

Oh yeah, 4 pounds may not seem like much, but it IS a slippery slope if I continue to do what I've been doing!  Cutting out the carbs, junk, and grazing WILL make a huge difference for me!  I think I've just gotten lazy the past couple of weeks because I know I  need to be maintaining!  It's weird how once all the weight stops coming off and the scale is holding pretty steady how the motivation to keep working out and watching EVERYTHING I eat just kinda falls to the wayside!  This is SUCH a learning process!   I AM determined to get this all back under control though!
Thanks for your input!
Off to find some skating!

Hey Ruth.  I am also a grazer.  I've been trying hard to stop.  Things like keeping my hands busy with sewing and when I really, really want to eat I exercise.  Problem is the it doesn't work all that great.  Once I'm done with the activity I'm back grazing.  I wish you luck Ruth and I'd love to hear about your progress!

There are days when I graze but grazing has not really been a routine for me.  My issue has always been what I eat.  And amounts. I was never an aware eater.  I always watched t.v. while eating or read a bood while eating.  Another problem of mine is emotional eating.  I ate to celebrate, I ate to feel better when sad, when I was angry, any emotion I felt I was eating.  What a vicious cycle that it.  Hate myself for being fat and then add to the destruction by eating.  And then I also over-ate just because stuff just tasted so damn good.  I cannot have a lot of stuff in my house because i know myself too well. Good luck to ya. You'll get back on track.

Yeah, one of the reasons I chose RNY was to hopefully have the dumping syndrome thing to help police me from myself and eating the less healthy things.....imagine my disappointment in not dumping (at least so far) and having to be responsible for my actions.

Ruth Ruth Ruth,
I saw the picture of the old you  and I must say I realy like to new Ruth much better... Please don't go back to the old girl ..Your so much more beautiful as you are now... Always remember how hard you have worked to get here and how easy it is to fall back behind..
That's why were here to help each other.. I do-not want you to fail..
stay away from the D E V I L that makes you cheat.. Think of the great tool that Dr. Loggings has given you.. and never stop using it... I hope someone will pick me up,  when I fall of the wagon.... Please keep up the fantastic work... Don't give in ...
I care about you..
Pat

Thanks Pat!  and to everyone else too!
I am "back on the wagon" so to speak!  Getting rid of those carbs that are no good!  I will NEVER allow myself to get back to that "old" self!  I've come too far and worked too hard to ever let that happen!  I know I have this wonderful tool and I WILL keep working it!

Thanks for ALL of your support!!!!!!!
Hugs!
Ruth
