struggling this week

I have been having a bad week, Feeling very fat struggling with attitude, and struggling with my food. I am not eating too much but everytime I eat I think I am making the wrong choice and eating to much.  I started back on liquid diet and protine shakes hoping this will reset  my brain. Any one ever go through this?

You are definately not alone. I go through this alot. All of a sudden I realize I am picking up bad habits again and I have to get myself in line again.

It's very hard sometimes, and we all slip. The great thing is that you realize it, and are making an effort to correct it.

Hang in there!

Thanks JoJo, I haven't eaten bad I just feel like i do I do journal my food and it is good but everytime I eat I feel ike it is bad or the result will turn out bad. I wish their were no mirro's in my house right now!

Well that's a whole other ball game. Your head is messing with you. And that's something I fight with EVERY DAY. I have been dealing with it for over 5 years. And I haven't figured out how to defeat it.

I go through this a lot as well.  I eat the same thing every single day at work..  some days I feel like I'm over-eating..  and that I'm a big fat huge MESS!   it's all in our heads...   and unfortunately the only way to beat it is to work through it on our own. but by that I don't mean we're alone.  There are a lot of us feeling that EXACT way...   jo and I for example.   there are days I look in the mirror, and am disgusted with the way i look in an outfit.. other days.. I feel amazing :)

Hang in there.   If you need to talk, just shoot me a pm.   You're not alone in this!!  No one said it was easy...   but knowing that there are others around going through the same thing makes the bumps in the road a little less jarring :)

Hey Robin,

Yes, it can be that way at times, I have found, for me personally, that when the season changes to Fall, I seem to crave more of the foods that were comfort foods for me this time of year, so I've done some adaptions, but sometimes it is a struggle, sometimes it is stuff going on in our lives, as in the reasons we ate through things, other times, it's just that good old food addiction that wants us to fail like big fat zeros. . .  You may be struggling, but it sounds like you are winning the battle through recognizing what you need to do to correct the behavior, awareness it the key to it all, as it is the exact opposite of denial. . .

Hugs, Laureen

You guys are great!  It helps to know that this to shall pass, and I am not alone. This is my first day on liquids and it really isn't so bad, I did it a little over ayear ago I know I can do it again! Only 4 days left, I am gonna sit and journal this one because i sure don't ever want to forget how this pat of the journey has felt like! Yuck!!!!!

Robin,
I am almost 2 year out and stuggle with this on a daily basis BUT the important part is that you realize that you are falling back into old habit and take control of it before it gets out of hand. I won't lie to you I don't always make the best food choices but I do dust myself off and get back on the wagon. You have done so AMAZING and continue to inspire all of us. Be kind to yourself that is something I am starting to learn with a little help from my therapist. Hang in there and if you need anything remember we are right here for you. Lots of Cyberhugs coming your way.

Hi Robin
 you are amazing. We all go thru this we have fat days and thin days. I tget weighed everyday and take my measurements once a week so when I have fat days, I know well its in my head cause I didn't gain an ounce or an inch. Godd luck to you and your head. but to go back to liquids is good
