Topic: RE: BINGED YESTERDAY
YUP it happens.... now move on... YOU CAN DO THIS....
I've been losing a lot slower due to allowing myself to many "REWARDS" the scale is finally moving again... slowly and that's ok... I may still make my goal weight by July 23- surgiversary.
BUT ... if I fall a little short... really SO WHAT!
THE important thing is the progress I've already made and the determination to maintance.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS... YOU HAVE DONE IT.
YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN.
really determine to stay away from YOUR TRIGGER FOODS.
I fell into a bag of chips a while back. and it was difficult to get out!
AT least I didn't bring them HOME with me.... that was the only thing that saved me!!!
To quote a greeting card.... " when stress gets to be too much I take a long hot bath....

Topic: BINGED YESTERDAY
Well yesterday was not a good eating day for me. I have a hard time resisting FREE food at work, even if not healthy for me. And I really hate it if the food was not worth the mini binge I had. At work they had free breakfast and lunch Thursday and Friday. Thursday I was fine and then Friday they had one of my favorites and I gave in. I had the 2 donuts for breakfast and I was not able to turn down the pizza at lunch. I did not stop there and the day just sort of spiraled into a graze every 2 hours on junk. So my binge amounted to 2 pound this morning on the scale. I will have that off by Monday or Tuesday. You know how it goes. One day to put it on and 3 or more days to take it off.
It is hard for me to get out of the mentality of 1 or 2 screw ups does not have to mean the whole day is blown. I am getting better at it but yesterday I was truly out of control. I knew yesterday the pizza and donuts would start me off on a binge. Especially the pizza. AND THE SAD PART IT WAS NOT THE GOOD PIZZA. Meaning the good Chicago Pizza!! It was cheap pizza you could get any where. I know I am bad but if I am going to have a bad day I always say let it be worth it. Any way enough on yesterday. I am letting it go right now.
Today I am feeling better and letting go of yesterday's bump in the road. I just planned my meals for today and I am going to health club to have a nice long work out at my leisure. That is the beauty of working out on Saturday evening. No wait for machines, nice and quiet, nobody chatting, etc. I love working out on Saturday evenings when I have the chance to do so.
Thanks in advance for your support. Just needed to reflect on yesterday this morning before I get up and about. I just gave you the jest but I can't dwell on forever because today is a new day and I will never be perfect but I have to make sure I do not have too many bad days because they will sabotage my goals. Have a wonderful weekend!!!

What an wonderful moment - no drainage on the bandage!! The redness and swelling finally improving. Your nightmare is over and you are waking up to the dream you had before it all started - the GOOD dream. I am so glad to hear this. You have been so strong through it all.
Isn't it great to be down enough in weight that your knees feel better!!

Glad you are feeling better.
Don't let the doctor get under your skin... so to speak.
You know how you are doing... THAT is what is important.
I know when I've hit a REAL plateau or when I'm goofing around.
Hang in there the weight loss will come- with you following your food plan & all that exercise!

My husband sold our scale a couple years back because I was obsessing over it. I would hop on a couple times a DAY. I promised him when I had WLS I wouldn't do that. So far so good.

Topic: follow-up from my endoscopy
I went to my 2 wk f/u from my endoscopy. My doctor found an ulcer. He originally thought my symptoms of pressure ,nausea and long episodes of burping were because my opening needed to be stretched. Well all is well in that area and my marginal ulcer should be healed in a month. Praise God. I can get off my ulcer meds and go back to one nexium a day after the month is up. They took me off the nexium after surgery and obviously I needed to stay on it because I produce more acid than usual. My symptoms have improved and I am eating and drinking much better.
I did leave the office a little upset with my Dr.....okay I was mad at him.
He mentioned I did not have much weight loss in the 2 wk time span. He asked if I was eating too much. NOOOO!!!!!! in fact I still struggle to get at least 2 meals and a shake in let alone the 3 meals and a snack they recommend. Then he asked about exercising. YES!!!!! I exercise. I go to the gym 3x a week for 20 min elliptical, 45 minutes weights, 10-20 minutes on the treadmill and 2 out of those 3 days, a 45 minute water aerobic class. I also walk on my breaks at work and always take the stairs. Sometimes I get more walking in on the off days. He said I must need more weight bearing exercises.
Come on now... I do not feel I am a slacker and I have read people can hit plateaus.I had surgery 2/12/10. I don't think all our efforts to improved health is reflected on the scale. Nor should we look to the scale to be the litmus test for all our hard work. i try to weigh myself only once a month. But I do take measurements once in a while as well.
Sorry.... I shouldn't get so upset but I had to vent and now I will carry on with trying to have a healthy lifestyle.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Have a great weekend
