So last week I gained 2.6 lbs., bringing my total loss "down" to 33.2 lbs. Obviously I wasn't pleased with myself, but again, I know not to get TOO disappointed because that only spells trouble for me since I am an emotional eater. ANY negative emotion can drive me to binge eat.
But I pulled myself together during last weeks meeting, and made a pact with myself and my leader that I would get back to tracking my food on a REGULAR basis. I'd gotten out of the tracking habit over the past month, & it showed on the scales. So track I did, and tonight at the weigh in...I LOST 4.2 lbs. for a grand total loss of 37.4 lbs.!!!! WOOHOO!!! Finally going in the right direction again!! And I haven't been able to exercise for a week because although I cut 1 minute & 7 seconds off my personal best at the Race for the Cure, I also ended up with stress fractures in BOTH feet! So needless to say, I am taking it easy on exercise. I think I am going to pack my bathing suit daily & start hitting the pool until I am "back on my feet"...literally!
Love you all, and hope you are all doing wonderfully in your personal journeys.
Now, What About Me?????
Well, first of all, I think Dee did comment and I just haven't checked it until recently! oops!
As far as my weight loss, I gained, lost, ended up at square 1, and then lost again. So I am only 1lb down, for 11 weeks. Not to good, but could be worse! I am almost done with the weaning process of my sweetie, who is almost 1, and then i'm going full force!
So, just one llb down, and 34 left!
Just for fun, here is a pic of my sweetie on her first ride :)
What About Dee????
Let's Do It!

Ok friends & family. I have a problem and I'd like to see if anyone else experiences or has experienced the same thing, and what, if anything, you do to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I get this insatiable desire to stuff my face full of anything & everything that is not healthy. For instance, pizza, ice cream, candy, burgers, you name it, I can't seem to quit eating once I've started!
This is literally making me crazy, because I don't understand WHY I can't have "a" slice of pizza or "a" scoop of ice cream and be satisfied with that. But I can't! Once I've had that bite or taste, I'm a goner. What is this all about? I understand about "emotional eating," and I get the "comfort food" thing, but WHY is one bite too much and 100 is never enough?
I really hate the fact that thus far it seems as though I am going to have to go without certain foods for the rest of my life because they are trigger foods. Is anyone else having this problem? I guess it just doesn't seem "fair" that I am going to have to never have a certain food ever, never, ever again, if I plan on losing weight and keeping it off for life.
I get to thinking about what God put on the earth for us to eat; fruits, veggies, fish, poultry, beef, & so forth. He didn't put ice cream and pizza, did he? LOL What I mean is, I know I don't need to eat a whole large pizza by myself in order to sustain my life; I only need to eat small amounts of certain foods (which doesn't include McDonald's for some reason) in order to keep myself alive and functioning in a perfectly "well tuned" way. So what is up with this craving stuff?? I am so lost at this point in time, because I know I need to avoid certain things, but the "desire" to have these "no-nos" is SO overpowering sometimes that I just can't stand it
I know this is something I have to work through and deal with, but I am wondering what other people do to get though things like this? I mean, sometimes it feels like I'm just gonna go nuts when I smell a certain food...that is...until I buckle in and EAT it. But then...I feel like crud because I've overindulged in something.
HELP!!
