Accountability -- requ'd on weekends, too.

I've been struggling with what I'll call food management and accountability.  This holiday weekend has taught me that at this point in my life I cannot 'ease up' on food management.  I really didn't have a plan to Saturday, Sunday or Monday.    While I wasn't as out of control as I was during my  pre surgey days, I consumed items that were not healthy and not designed as part of the WLS meal plan.

I did do a few things that were smart -- Saturday, I avoided the cake int he breakroom.  Sunday , I brought some yogurt and cottage cheese with me to fund raiser yard sale. (I knew they were ordering pizza for lunch)  I did watch my fluid intake....and I did walk more than I usually do.

My blood sugars are all over the map and now I am struggling to gett hem back on an even keel. 

I had a long talk with my sister about our respective perception of our parents and the way the did/did not nurture us.  Very interesting discusssion.

So today, I start anew.  

 

Good for you, Jayne.  I also struggle a lot more on weekends when the structure isn't there like it is during the week.  It's way too easy to find myself in a situation with "unplanned food" and having to make choices on the fly from bad options (instead of planning ahead like I do during the work week).

Sounds like you had a good weekend overall, and a little "healthy fear" is never a bad thing.  

It's good that you and your sister were able to have that talk.  Sometimes it can help you get to the essence of an experience and figure out who you are as adults as a result of your childhood.  It can let the healing begin (or accellerate).

Jayne all experiences teach us something, Use what you learned from the weekend and move forward which it seems like you are doing. I was wondering where your posts were
