Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Sunday, December 1, 2013

146.6 - this number may go up tomorrow. 

I had pie yesterday. I'm mad at myself because I gave into some feelings of frustration I was having while trying to get my house ready for Christmas, and help my MIL figure out why she has a bill for $250 a month coming off her Amex card that's from England, and why my husband's short-term disability check didn't come when it was supposed to which meant that I had to move money around in accounts, and a few other things all while my MIL slept until 4 in a afternoon. Her days and nights are messed up. Fun. 

Anyway, I ate for the wrong reason. 

I refuse to let life events send me running back to food like a crack addict. So, I have a plan in place for next time. My hubby and I are scheduling some time to talk each day - behind closed doors. That will help.

I AM going to church today. Didn't make it last weekend.  

Hang in there, Slim.  It sounds like you're "the rock" that your family needs right now.  If it means one little piece of pie, I think you're still ahead of the game, you know? 

103 lbs today.  I'd like to lose at least two lbs before I go on vaca for the holidays. 

Have a good one, all!

Morning everyone:

Ah slim!  can so relate.  ' running back to food like  a crack addict'..... good one.  Can I borrow it?    And good for you it was only one piece.  I likely would have had the whole pie. 

Am down 4.5 pounds so that is a relief.  Still 8 pounds above goal but had a stern talking to my mind this morning about lies it likes to tell me.  ie: one chocolate chip won't hurt.  Ha!!!

I so appreciate this board and the honesty,

We will get through this even if it is one minute at a time.

I wonder how Mom, Mikey, Elina, Frisco and some of the older vets are doing. 

Has anyone ever gone to Overeaters Anon?

You are not alone.  These days for whatever reason my addict has reared it's ugly head.  I am new to maintenance( 3 months) and still struggling to figure it out.  What can I add, what triggers me, why do I suddenly feel hungry all the time.  Exhausting. Going back is not an option, but finding peace with food seems like something I have not attained yet.  I have begun to feel like I am dieting again in order to maintain.  I used to go to OA for years.  It was very hard to find a sponsor as you had to have 90 days clean to sponsor and either the ones that had it were booked ,or no one else could achieve it.  the recovery in AA is much stronger, probably because they do not have to deal with their drug of choice everyday.  Some days I would go to AA to listen to the strength and hope.  That was my experience anyway, maybe yours will be different.   From your post it sounds like your frustration is not the 1 piece of pie, but returning to food to numb all the things you were struggling with on that day.  It is great that you have come up with alternative options to deal with your emotions.  

137 today.  I go between 134 and 137.  Prefer 135.  

119.2 today. That's good. Out for a run this morning. Big cold front moving in tonight!

Ah, Slim, bless your heart!  Love ya.  Do do the time alone with hubby- good idea.  150.4  All good in SEKansas.  

181.9...

42 miles of cold-weather riding yesterday... chilly but nice to get outside again before the real cold gets here.

What kind of pie?  lol   Sorry you're stressed... Hoping the calmness and peace of church helped.  Today is the first day of Advent:). Hang in there Slim. xo

139.4# All is well.  12 school days until Christmas Break for me.  I love being at home.  

Oh!!! And, Go Broncos!!!

Chocolate Silk with whip cream. mmm....
