Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses

What do you do when you want to eat but you don't need to eat.  Its not meal time.  You're not hungry.  You still have the desire to eat.  Tell the whole truth and be accountable.   How do you handle the struggle with what you need to do vs what you want to do?

Its 12:42 am on Sunday morning and I have already had a breakfast of 198 calories.  I really want to eat and I could kill for some junk food.  I stuck with lean protein and sf jello. 

Right now all I want to do i**** a 24 hour store and grab a single serving pack of oreos and a bag of pretzels.  What's holding me back is knowing my numbers for the month. 

My weight loss has gone well so far.  Given my history, I'm doing better than usual.  My calorie average for the month is right at maintenance for my desired weight.  I'm 4 lbs from my low weight and 9 lbs from my desired weight of 5 lbs below goal. 

I'm not willing to loose all of this for oreos and pretzels.  I can rapidly gain significant weight while sticking to plan.  Tempting fate is just not worth it. 

This month I have an opportunity to avoid some of the issues that exacerbate my weight gain.  I don't know when next I'll get such a chance.  I had no honeymoon period in these first two years post op.  This is as close to a honeymoon as I may ever get.  I have 25 days left to take advantage of this psuedo honeymoon.  I'm going to use it wisely.  Oreos and pretzels will be there for many lifetimes.  I have just this one to think about.

My eating today in the words of Barney was ....Super De Duper.

I am so proud of myself that I am eating so well and staying focused.   Tomorrow will be 10 days of this journey and it's going real well.  

I am very happy

Well like I told you, your a part of my being successful thus far.   Having someone that I know will respond to my rants and raves and know they understand where I am coming from.   It's nice.

Thank you

Good to hear you got right back on it.  That's the way to do it.

 That is absolutely right...Those oreo and pretzels not going anywhere. Keep holding on. There may come a time when you don't even craze junk food. And even with the cravings the resistance stay stronger. 
Yesterday I had one of those not so hungry days, but when night came I was read to eat. Even with the head hunger I ate a banana and a slimfast snack bar and I was on full. Before hand slimfast snack bars caused me to overeat, but this time around I did not find them to tasty. I did well with food, exercise, vitamins, bu****er was off. I bought some water yesterday and only got down two bottles. Today will be diff. Keep up the good work MSW! I know you want that cushion and you will get there the way you are working it.

Thanks.  I can't give up trying. 

Snack bars are a tough one.  Ther serve a pourpose but they also often trigger old (or new) negative behaviors towards sweets.  Glad you won the battle.
