Daily Maintenance Check In- Thursday, March 5, 2015

152#

Home again today.  Roads are iced and snow packed.  However, I can see the sun!!! Yay!!  Yesterday, I  had to squash the snack monster.  Being cooped up brings him out!!!  I did okay.  I'm going to try and keep busy today and out of the kitchen.  lol

Down 1/2 lb this morning!  Still needing to be vigilant, but I'm feeling like I'm fully on track again.  In fact, now is when I need to be more vigilant, so I don't delude myself into thinking I've got it, so I don't need to do XYZ.  The area I've been paying closer attention to has been listening to my sleeve.  As I slipped away from using my tools, I was puhing the limits on portions.  The lifelong issue of my desire to keep eating, because the food tasted good, again overtook me listening to my body and stopping when I knew I'd had enough.  I have been working on being more mindful of my body signals, and pushing the plate away when those signals say "enough", rather than eating that last bite or 2, or 3.  Because of being more mindful, I also feeling my restriction more clearly and quickly. 

122.5. doing fine. gotta make a grocery run as we are low on protein entree items. I find I go to the  store more often but spend less. also go to the organic coop more and more often. guess thats good.  class to teach today. routine is good.  diane

Back again after a year and 30 pounds weight gain.

Eating emotionally instead of wisely.

Today is the first day for the rest of my life. 

( tried to find this group for the past weeks and finally hit the ' right ' button.  ) 

I am going to be leaning on this group for advice and wisdom and support.  Am ashamed that while I know better have fallen into the food trap again as per pre-surgery.

Thanks.

No shame or judgement here.  I'm in the regain boat as well...it is disappointing and all of those things we can and do feel,  but it's part of the journey...mine anyway.  And, the good news is, we can lose the weight again.  Mine is coming off slowly but it's coming off when I do what I'm suppose to do.  

Im glad you're here!!!

I'm also here after a regain.  As Stephanie said, there's no judgement here.  So glad to be back on track and back here.  Also so glad you came back.  We're definitely in the right place!

Many thanks.
