trying to refocus and stop mindless eating
Well I am on day two of recomitting to writing down everything I eat and day two for eating no sweets. I had gotten into a bad habit of eating within my calories but eating high processed food which we all know goes down without restriction. I am not hungry and I actually feel a bit better. I have tried to make sure I am getting my fruit so I do not have complete withdrawals. I have always been a mindless eater and ate when , stressed, bored , feeling happy, feeling sad etc . I guess it is time to take back my mind LOL.
I am not good with setting my self up with a rewards system to lose weight the articles tell you to reward yourself after mini goals but as soon as I put a reward to losing weight I do not do it. Not sure but there probabley is some deep seated reason. Someone told me once that I did not think I deserved to lose weight and I was using anything as an excuse to not lose the weight and get the reward.
It is rather odd because when it comes to my professional life and when I was in school it is just the opposite I work even harder trying to accomplish something if someone thinks I can not do it or the odds are stacked against me. Before my WLS a friend tried to convince me not to have it she said you know if you put half the effort into losing weight that you do for your job( at the time) you would not need the surgery. That comment has stuck with me I really do not know why I am/have been the way I am with my weight. I have speant thousands of dollars over the years joining diet place after place. And if my band stopped working tomorrow I can not honestly say that I would not gain back the weight even though I hate waht I looked like and I am so much more healthy.
