Eating Like Crap!

Well, I'm on a roll this week and not a good one! I have not been eating alot (probably due to the heat wave we're having), but I have been eating nothing but junk! This is totally unlike me and I need to get a grip right away! Ahhhhh, I hate feeling out of control!!!!!!!!!!

i can relate.. ive been eating fiery diritos.. we have got to stop this. we are only hurting ourselves...hang in there and just try one hour at a time.. thats wut im going to do.

We had our stomachs fix but not our heads.We are addicted to food,just the least amount of stress than we start bringing our food demons back.For you Traci,it is the fact that it is hot outside and you are now use to it.For someone else it could be anything that can cause it. Make up your mind that from now on ,that you will find things healthy to eat.I see that you get alot and give alot of support on OH.Keep it up that will also help you in you achieving your goals.Attend support group meetings that way there might be someone who could use your help and someone giving you help when times are rough. Do not anyone feel like they are out of control.We have more control than we think,take the bull by the horn and tell yourself that this will not defeat me... bob

I found myself literally stuffing a cookie I KNEW I could not swallow into my mouth and just telling myself that would be lunch. As I spit it out into the sink I realized I was stressed at work and I needed to just take a minute and go walk. So I did and I came here to read and recenter and remind myself where I've been and why I did it in the first place. Keep making good decisions, everytime you eat you have the ability to start anew!

i know what you mean! I've been out of control lately too. Good luck to you. I know we can do it!

every person n the world needs to eat a healthy balanced diet, which means everything in moderation.  when we totally restrict ourselves of foods that are not the healthiest for us, we want it that much more.  so why not, once in a while, include some of the junkie type foods. one way i take control is i schedule time to eat outside of my new normal limits.  almost daily, i eat mostly protein, few carbs, lots of salads.  especially, during that time of the month, i allow myself some good ole fashion junk.  thing is only after a few bites that craving is satisfied. one week will not make or break you.  allow youself some room to error and understand its a part of life- not just post rny (or whatever type of food restrictive regimin).  suck in that sugar, chomp on those doritos, get over it and get back to business. peace, frankie

LOL, I hear ya frankie! I am definitely a  moderation girl b/c I can't go FOREVER without some of my favorite things. It does scare me when I get on one of these kicks, but somehow I always find my way back on track. Today has been MUCH better, thankfully!!!!!!!! Thanks for your words of encouragement~I really appreciate it!
