Yesterday...

Hi Patrece.  We all have days like that and of course we all feel rotten afterward.  You know what you did and you know how you feel about it.  If and when there is a next time just remember how you felt and then talk to yourself.
Now that I gave that advice, I will follow your advice and identify what was at the core of my bad choices today.  I knowingly made inappropriate choice and I also knew that I would feel sick after eating what I ate, but I still did it.  I feel like crap and I hate feeling like this.  Today was my "off day" and I am just waiting for the end of today to leave the office and get some fresh air!
Hugs

Thanks everyone.. see even us leaders need you members as much as you need everyone else. It works out so nice that we all have each other! That we all really "get it".

Terry... Maybe you and I both just need a "grandchild fix"..lol. I get my grandbabies on Tuesday and get to have them for the night... I am soooooo looking forward to that precious time with them.

Love and hugs to you all. Thanks for letting me share and not feeling i am being judged.. you all are so great!

Thank you Patrece for being human :0),  I have my surgery on Monday it will feel good to know I have a place to vent in the event I have problems or concerns from my surgery.  You all are great! 

Thank you..for being part of our group here! We willbe here whenever you need us. Please keep us posted on how everything goes!

Thank you to EVERYONE for sharing their truth, the "good" and the "bad" even though in reality there is no good or bad.  It is what it is.  And I think part of this process is to let go of labeling our behavior, emotions and choices as one or the other.  The reality is (one of my very most favorite sayings)...IT IS WHAT IT IS.  And I do think we...meaning I...need to let go of the shame associated with the times when we make decisions that aren't in our best self-interest, because sometimes feeling the shame and trying to cover it all up and hide it leads to more of the decisions that got us where we are in the first place.  For me, those decisions and choices are often about eating.  And when I learn to recognize that it just is what it is and to learn and reflect on what is behind the behavior, emotion and choices, I get a little closer to getting to a place where I take better care of myself.  I hope that makes even a little sense. 

So again, thank you everyone for sharing your truth and your reality.  I, for one, can learn from each and every one of your experiences.

Patrece, I hope today is a good day for you.  Better yet, I hope today was a self-empowering day for you that brings you closer to a place of strong and consistent self-care.  :)

And thank you, Kathy, for the mindful eating information.  I, too, plan to share it with my live support group.

Take good care, everyone!!
