Wow... I can eat a lot!

Ok, I have had a bad week, and was stress eating some not so good for me foods....and I realized, I can eat a large quantity of slider foods, yikes....
Like my "snack" of 2 pieces of toast and a small bowl of cereal....a hotdog with bun and all...and the chips and dessert, don't get me started, yikes!

So, some good lessons learned, 1) even at over a year out, having some depression and stress issues can trigger the food demons. 2) You can definitely fill your sleeve with ****ty food, and a lot of it, without it necessarily revolting, 3) desite the awesomeness of losing 135+ pounds, you can still beat yourself up over bad food choices, you just have to move on, get over it, and make better choices.

So, I will make better choices, go back to basics and get back on the wagon.  Thanks for listening, it feels good to just be accountable and write it out.

Yes, I know how you feel.  I'm 3 1/2 yrs. out and had a really tough holiday weekend. . . waaay too much junk food around. . . lots of friends over, swimming in our pool, hanging out and EATING MINDLESSLY.  How can something I WORKED SO HARD FOR suddenly seem UNIMPORTANT??!  WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!

I have simply GOT to throw all this junk food out tomorrow. . . purge my house and go back on the weight loss part of my plan.  Think I started to take my weight loss too much for granted. The warning bells are really going off. .  for the first time I feel like I am in real danger :(

That is my plan too...seriously, why did I buy bags of chips and swiss cake rolls... really?!?! Swiss cake rolls.... I could eat 2 whole packages without blinking.... I don't know what happened to my mindset...
I had a TT (insert the, you just had PS and are eating this ****yes, I know!) and am still on exercise restrictions, I don't think I clearly understood how much I used exercise to release stress....add in a big move and my kids driving me crazy, it is enough to drive a post-op to eat....

Hang in there! I went back to 650 calories yesterday too after gaining 2 pounds from eating just too much good food (no junk food). Even too much of a good thing puts weight back on you. Already lost 1.4 pounds. I think how we are different now is that we panic when we know we might gain back. Our whole mind-set is different. Before, we just pulled our really big top out of the closet and avoided looking in the mirror again and continued onward with the food orgies. It is a good thing we have a new panic button hot-wired into our brains now.

Did the same thing.  *sigh*  Makes me feel like a failure.  Made my head go back to the old days of "oh well, I give up".  But I've been talking to myself all week to get my head back on track.  Glad I'm not the only one, but sorry that anyone else has to deal with it.  At least we know we aren't alone.
