Bad eatting this weekend

I have no idea what is going on with me this weekend, but i want to constantly eat..   I made a mistake yesterday by buying sesame sticks and ate more than i should have.    I feel like a bottomless pit and need to control this.  Tomorrow i will go back to journaling which always seems to help me get an attitude adjustment and face reality.  As long as it doesn't start raining, i am going out to do yard work to work off some of these extra calories.   I hate when i get like this and feel so out of control.    I have been having female issues with Aunt Flo (you would think this would have stopped already since i am almost 54) so hormones may have something to do with it.   I just can't stand myself.   My kid also left to go back to college.    Look at all the excuses i can come up with....lol.....just need to look in the mirror and tell my self to STOP.   Thanks for listening to my ramblings but tomorrow me and the journal will be best friends.  Excuses lead to obesity!!  Need to get off that band wagon!

Love you all,

Pam

Damn Carbs!!!!!!!!!!! They do the same thing to me too. Eat a few one day and can't get enough of anything the next day. Carbs are evil.

Tomorrow is going to be a great day. You can do this!!!!!!!

Thanks Iris and journaling tends to be my cureall to bring me back to reality!  Gonna get some beef jerky for tomorrow too as alot of chewing for high protein, low calories and low carbs.    A gal at work also had me taste turkey jerkey (which she gets from Target) and while same cal and protein,  it is quicker to chew which isn't a good thing for me...lol.

Love,

Pam

Those are only excuses if you give in to them and don't work on finding a way to deal with the issues that got you there. As you my friend said to me when I had a similar issue, you are doing better now that you had in the past because now you are recognizing the dangerous behavior and are working to stem the tide and find better ways to handle your emotionally driven eating. I'll bet a year ago you would have just said 'Oh well' and wallowed in it pleasure of it. Now you are 'seeing' the dangerous behavior for what it is and taking steps to manage it, such as going to work out in the are, journaling, etc... Be gentle with yourself as you take back control. Know that you have some triggers that you need to plan for and act accordingly. We all do, it's just terrifying when we get farther out and we are able to act on them and have to start working on that part of our journey.

Hang in there my friend and keep getting back in the saddle.

Hugs,

Thanks Barb....i appreciate it!  I stopped beating myself up and figured, tomorrow is the journal day and i got a bunch of high protein so i can also purge myself of carbs which is a weakness and trigger for me.

Love

I can SOO relate.  This has been a REALLY bad day for me!!

Grandson asked for lemon pudding, his favorite.  You know, cooked, from the box, like for lemon meringue pie?  I usually lick the spoon and I'm fine.  The boys eat the rest.  Well, today I ate an entire serving!  I feel so sick from all that sugar!!!  That's it for me!  I've learned my lesson!  It wasn't that many calories, and I can fit it into my meal plan for the day.  But my goodness - WAY more sugar than I have had in a long time!

SO, no excuses for me!  No TOM, no empty nest syndrome, just plain weakness!  On the elliptical twice today!  Back on the band wagon tomorrow!

I don't think the gloominess of the day helps either but that is all life and i have done well through other gloomy days.   But oh my, this weekend scared the crap out of me with the eating.   i even have my journal packed in my purse for tomorrow as that appears to be my reality!

Thanks,

Pam

Hi Pam,

I am back on the right path today and so far have had 800 calories and 45 g of protein.   I try to stick to about 1250 to 1350 as when i was doing 1000 i wasn't losing any wt.   The place where i bought the sesame sticks sells them in bulk so if i ever need a treat, once every blue moon, I will buy 1 ounce....lol.
