Daily Weigh-In Maintenance for June 12 2013

Good morning everyone:

161.4 today. Goal is 160 so it is coming.

Drinking lots of water and that certainly helps curb the appetite.  How come I don't always remember that?

What do YOU do when you get the insatiable hungries?

Have  a good one.

148.4 - very, very puffy. Hard workouts, heat, allergies. What I ate yesterday didn't change. I'm boring and eat mostly the same thing every day.

apple - I had a hungry day yesterday. Nothing is more of a brain **** that feeling like you want to eat all day and never really feeling satisfied or full. I hate that.

My plan for days like that goes something like this:

*Water goals - I must have at least 6 glasses of water in before I eat lunch. I must have 12 glasses in before dinner. Having to do a water check before I shove something in my mouth really helps.

*Veggie goals - I must have 2 servings of veggies, minimum. I save one serving of veggies for after dinner/evening. That way I have something to munch on after my workout and in that time of the evening where I could put away 2000 calories in 10 minutes.

*Decaf coffees and chai tea - If I really, really, really want to eat something, I allow myself to make a decaf coffee, chai tea, or I run to 5bucks and get my favorite green tea. I use them as my filler in between meals.

Today, I don't feel like eating a damn thing.

Weird how that happens.

154.4 - whatever.

Hungries? I drink water or I eat something. Usually it's in my head so I go do something else and it goes away if it's not real.

I'm not doing so great today. Pain level is high and I stupidly took a full dose of milk of magnesia yesterday. It worked, but my belly is making all kinds of noises this morning and feels really lousy.

I feel myself slipping into a small depression over this back thing. Support group is tonight though and that usually lifts my spirits. I'm holding it together, but barely.

Also, realized last night while I was eating cookies that PMS is here a few days early. I couldn't figure out why I was going nuts with the sweets. I should know the signs by now. So, at least know I know and can start on those strategies. The good news is that I caught it early and didn't eat 1/2 of a bag - just 3, instead ate a couple of greek yogurt frozen bars. That seemed to have done the trick.

When the hell does this get easier? LOL

Going to go throw a pity party over my cottage cheese. ;)

I hope you feel better and your spirits are lifted soon. I know it's tough. Hang in there Candy.

Thanks, I wasn't posting for sympathy, just needed to get it out to folks that "get it". The back pain is bad enough, but add in the WLS issues and I feel like I'm losing my grip. LOL

You sweet thing. Remember - saying **** helps.

When is your back doctor appt?

I conveniently blame some of my slow losing on the hysterectomy I had in 2010, but I have to say, I don't miss PMS--at all. I'll take the take the slow losing over the cravings any day.

Take care. *hugs*

June 18th. Six more days. Thank gawd.

Yeah, the ablation means I don't have periods, but I still have all the other stuff, but because of the no period thing I sometimes don't recognize it. My cycles were pretty screwed up so I guess that part didn't change either. LOL!

Fuckity **** fuck ****

Do what you can to keep the depression from taking control.

Love you, hun.

Hang in there Candy.  All that pain you go through...it just doesn't seem fair!  I hope your doctors find a way to relieve it soon.  In the meantime, I think Slim is right - just say **** a lot!  In fact, I think I'M going to say **** a lot today on your behalf ;-) 

F

Oh good... if everyone will celebrate with me and say **** a whole lot, that will surely help.

******g fuckity ****** ****

Hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh. I'll be okay. I'm just feeling sorry for myself at the moment. I think it's just... yeah. Just.
