do you ever have these days

I am so upset with myself today...... I have been eating through out the day.   I don't know why either.  I have a bite or 2 or 3 of something then 1/2 hour later bite or 2 or 3 of something else.  Do you ever have days like that?  I am glad it don't happen that often for me    GEEEEESH

It's must be a tough time of year right now, I've spent the past week or so upset with myself too.  I say we give ourselves a break & realize we're not perfect & that we make mistakes, have a little too much to eat sometimes, and at times don't lose as much as we'd like.  But, we're only human & it's ok not to be perfect all the time.  I think if we take the pressure off ourselves maybe we won't get so upset.  I know you're not alone in struggling somedays, so just know you have the support of everyone on here & by posting what you're doing at least you're making yourself aware of what you're up to & you can work to do better tomorrow. 

My day was like that too.  It took me almost 4 hours to eat a small salad for lunch.  However, for me it's because I was insanely busy and I had to pick my daughter up from Preschool and bring her to daycare so there went my lunch hour.

So yeah, I understand.  And because it took me so long to eat my lunch I'm still hungry...I can't wait to sit down and eat a "full" meal at one time.

I've been having some of those lately.  What's worse for me, is the days where not a single protein rich food interests me. NOTHING.   I've  even been struggling lately to make the only protein drink I like work, that mocha espresso Click powder. Loved it until recently just not tasting the same. But I added some peppermint extract this morning and it was really good.  I need to re-discover high protein foods that I like and can go to on my not so good days.

Oh yes Marsha....this week has been awful...eating way too much!!!

Let me know when you get this figured out....stopping it I mean!!

Much love...many hugs....connie d

 

 

If we were capable of being perfect, we wouldn't have needed WLS in the first place. 

Pre-WLS, would you have even recognized grazing?  Or just accepted it as SSDD?  Give yourself credit for identifying a not-so-good behavior, and take a step to avoid it.  Put snacks out of sight.  When you're going to put something in your mouth, ask yourself a few questions - am I hungry, or is this just something I think I want?  Will I feel guilty after I eat this?  Is it protein or junk?  Stuff like that.

You're fine, you're normal, you're maintaining.  It's a lot harder than losing, in many ways.  Give yourself credit, gf!!

HUGS!

Sorry you're having a rough time.  I don't like food much right now, but am eating as I am supposed to.  I worry about the time when I start eating and have to balance all that I am learning with a good dose of reality!
