Topic: RE: My Personal Sabatoge Goal - Lower Carbs by 30%

Lost 25 pounds pre-op
I guess is is my own private journal on my Sabatage Goals.
I had old habit of eating come up this week and it is a repetative habit of eating when I am trying to get some project done and I get stumped on a grafic or somethime a learning curve stops my progress. I guess I want what ever is not working for me to work so I can move onto a new part of of the project.
When it fails I fail. I try to figure out how I can eat more and not gain weight. again it goes back to
" I can;t fix it so I might feel numb and then it won't be ;so bad."
The real sad part is I dont want to give up the fix. omg... Dan put it best I AM ADDICTED to food. and will always be an addict. I wonder if going to a AA MEETING would be a support group I may get closure on. I will bring this up at our meeting tonight

I am glad you were finally able to post. I hope you are still feeling well. I am still shocked sometimes when I do my food log at how many calories I ate in a day. I should probably eat only 1000 to be where I want to be and some days it is almost twice that. I don't feel good about it but at least I know and can think of ways to change it. I will see you Monday night at the meeting. Lynne

Darn I wish I had looked at your posts ... I \would not have made a long post.
I am glad your posting here. it made me conscious of being accountable to someone. I think being accountable to the members who I made a commitment to really puts things in perspective
You keep up the good work and I will do the same... hope your going to Monday Meeting

I have to apologize for not posting sooner. After All I started this Personal Sabotage Goal" thing
I have to thank Dan for suggesting posting progress, concerns and set backs. I would have been here sooner if I had Internet connections that did not give me a headache,.
Well I have to admit I still am struggling with it and have not taken the steps to log food to track it but I can report that I am more aware of it when I am indulging. I feel that is a small step but a least it is a step.
If I had to determine what my Carib drop was I would have to estimate it as a 5% drop in CARIB intake.
Monday tell all time is coming and I have to be accountable for reporting success or failure. I am going to report success because I am thinking of being accountable. I am thinking seriously of making a adjusted Personal Sabotage Goal to add to my Main Personal Sabotage Goal. I am not sure what it is but I will have to tell someone about.
I have put more portion rich foods in my cupboard and feel I am eating less then when I was int he hospital. Strange don't' you think. 6 weeks in a hospital and I ate more. Mostly because you had to choose what to eat on their schedule and because the doctors had me on insulin. 5 units of long acting... and I still had more hypoglycemic reactions and I at a full Carib load before bedtime to stop the middle of the nights drop in sugars. That lasted for a week before I told the doctor I am not taking any more insulin.. guess what my sugars were normal and I stopped having low blood sugars You got to love Gastric Bypass Surgery

Thanks Dan. I realize I am posting mainly to myself but it keeps me honest and will bore others to tears. I wonder how the others are doing with their goals? How about you? Are you working out? Food log done today.
