Online Meetings Around the Clock * Information on changing eating behavior

I am really off my game this week.  Falling back into old bad habits is way too easy.  The worst is not having my first meal of the day until late afternoon then grazing through the night. 

I did not get close to my protein requirement or water needs yesterday.  It was high carb low protein.  Just another reason for me to low carb.  Once I hit the easy to digest foods I ignore the protein. 

I know its emotional as I am going through some major mind drama at the moment.  For every decision you make there is an option you must release and its got me off track.  Like many of us, when things get crazy, I neglect self first.

It stops today.  Low protein equals malnutrition.  I cannot let that happen.  I will start the day with protein and water within an hour of waking.  I will plan my meals so I don't skip the protein.  In a nutshell, its back to basics. 

The emotional eating is a monster that's what brought most of us to
the point of needing wls in the first place.   I'm convinced the struggle
never goes away but we can manage it.  I am sure you will get on track.

Today:
72 oz water
All Vitamins & Supplements
1 hour water aerobics
1 hour swimming

Menu:

B - Protein Shake
L - Catfish / Roasted Yellow Squash
D - Curry Chicken / Broccoli Casserole / Green Peas
S - Apple / tbspn Peanut Butter

You are so right.  We have to learn coping skills or we end up right back where we started. 

Nice menu today.  If only I could stop a 1 tbs of peanut butter.  Pre op it was no big deal.  In 2010 pb has become my new nemisis. 

I just went back to basics and my tool works when I am I work it....so it waits for me put the the sweets and eat more nutritious foods! So hopefully next week I can see some results! It's hard to stay on track for long periods of time, so for me if I at least try most of the time, I can get good results.

Here here!  We've got to work this for life.  When we slip we need to get right back on it.  Progress not perfection. 

Already off to a bad start with spaghetti and crackers for breakfast. However, I am not about to let the rest of the day continue like this. I am about to plan for the rest of the day. I took a break and now I need to get back on track. I plan to speed walk today for 3 miles. I promised myself I would do  tae bo sat. and sun. Plus I plan to do a mile jog on those days to make up for missing some workouts during the week. I am cleaning my house and getting it back in order. I have been so tired and lazy lately. Yesterday I spent about 6 hours cleaning, and today I need to fini**** really helps when I have something prepared to eat. I think that helps me stay on track or if I know what I am going to have and it  quick and easy to prepare. I am going to drink four bottles of water today. I need to work on that instead of thinking about food all the time. Why can't I learn to just be hungryr? LOL> This is all so mental and emotional. Lunch I will have some grilled shrimp and tomato. snack I will have some popcorn and dinner? I need to visit the store and get some meats. Whatever I have for dinner it is going to consist of lean meats and veggies. I think I need to change my meals. I am thinking of a lifestlyle change now. I don't want low carb, so maybe I can do breakfast, lunch and dinner as protein and veggies and my snacks can consist of carbs. Mostly healthy carbs though..Like fruits and whole wheats. I will give this a try that way I won't eat carbs all day long, but I can still enjoy them.

I don't consider any food of limits unless I prove I can't handle it in moderation.  If I find myself over eating, out it goes, banned from my home. 

You'll figure out what works for you.  Glad you did not let breakfast define your entire day. 

I am on it!!!!  Killed it in the gym - did a light jog on the treadmill - I actually can balance and even watch TV a lil bit while I am on there!!!!! Yeaaa ME!!!! 

About to get off this conf call and go to Panera for my Greek Salad - had a 100 cal yogurt for a mid morning snack.  Not sure about dinner yet, I want seafood tho.....

Tomorrow morning is kettlebells and boxing with my trainer and I'm looking to stay on point for the weekend - NO BS!!!!  I have my new Vegas outfits hanging at the front of my closet to make sure I stay mindful of my GOAL!!!! lol

That's right, keep the goal visible.  I try on those goal pants of mine daily.
