HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY MONDAY
Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses
*********************************************************
This year I have my Christmas count down in my siggy. I'm singing: Its the most wonderful time of the year!
**************************************************************************
For you it may mean everything or it may mean nothing. The excess of food will be in your face eiher way. Tell the whole truth and be accountable. Are you aware that desire and commitment are not always enough? Are you prepared to handle your food issues?
I often hear "I never really ate that much.". I can only speak for myself but it is seriously doubtful anyone eligible for wls never really ate that much. Although, I did know one such person. The difference between those like us and the rare folks like him is he went from average to smo in a matter of a few months. Expanded right before your eyes. Clearly a sign that something is not quite right with him. Turns out he was producing a pregnancy hormone at 1000 times the rate normaly found in men.
Volume and calories are not proportionate. That is, you may eat what seems reasonable to you yet ingest a extremely large number of calories. Then there is portion control. How many of us really know what a portion should be?
We did this over eating thing over time; we became obese over time; and, we stayed there over time. Even if you are seriously metabolically challenged like I am you did in some manner eat your way to obesity.
Own this. Be accountable for it. Examine it. Use this introspective to keep you on your plan through the next month or so. O*****n op? It does not matter. Surgery type? It does not matter. We got here the same way and we will have to make the same types of mental changes to manage our over eating.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
While I kept calorie control I had far too many carbs and way too much sugar this weekend. In some ways this is over eating. From all angles I could and should have made better food choices.
I do not mean I should not have consumed what I did. With the exception of my trigger food of the moment, I consider nothing off limits. However, had I had protein or increased the protein before ingesting carbs, especially sugar, I would have consumed less and been equally satisfied.
Nonetheless, knowing myself I prepared for this. I hope to get to the point where I do not have to preare so thoroghly because I will place tighter limits on what makes me fat. Remember Teddy's lyrics?
You can't hide from yourself. Everywhere you go, there you are!
That's Teddy Pendergast sometime in the 80's I think. About this he did not lie. I'm not going to even try and fool myself about food issues. My goal is long term success. Self deception is counterproductive.
Of course I'm still trying to vaporize the 15 lbs I keep loosing, gaining, loosing etc. It has been 16 monts since I put on 20 lbs in 5 or six days. Just another reason to be meticulous about how I track. I do not need to over eat to have weight gain and metabolically triggered fat does not respond to the calories in calories out bull**** I've been fed all of my fat life.
So today I've pulled out the atkins book and I'm on a rny modified version of the fat fast for he next five days. It will suck @$$ but fingers crossed, jump start me into fat buring. It is active weight loss mode until Christmas Eve. Praying I actually see some weight loss.
To that end, I am debating using the scale this month. I will still measure and calculate my body fat percentage based on my last weight in. The tape measure will tell me if anyting is happening, perhaps without the depression that comes with a scale that won't cooperate. Hmmn, we'll see.

Yeah well while you are debating the scale, I am debating not blowing my fat ass legs off. I swear that dam fat smash has turnned my legs into fat ass balls of jelly and it sucks because it is the only dam thing that works for me.
Marcia, I can't nor do I need to tell you my frustration level right now with my fat. I HATE IT.
my enemy sent me a friend request and that ***** has to be like 50 pounds lighter than me, you know that hurts. LOL.
Anyway, I'm cleaning up my house today, eating some cat fish for dinner and then getting my fat ass off of this gaining streak.
I have to get my ass back on here daily to check in with you, because you always make me feel better.
That's all for now.

Ignore that request like it is invisible and pay that ***** no mind.
There must be a stronger word to describe this level of frustration. We are both near that breaking point today. You need to be here daily because I need you here as much as you need to be here; perhaps even more. Keep working it girl. That muscle tone will be back in no time the way you do it.
My latest: between the 17th and the 22nd I gained 7.88 lbs. This while cutting calories in preparation for Thanksgiving. There is zero doubt about a calorie deficit.
Today I started the atkins fat fast modified for my protein needs. It sucks @$$ big time but if it works I'll stay on it for life. Praying it works with the modifications I made. If not, I will be following the plan to the letter.
Not the best thing but it is only for three days. I have got to do something.
