I haven't blogged in a couple of days - I really didn't feel like it. I am disappointed in myself for not going to ZUMBA. I was just too lazy, and didn't feel like it.
Food and water has been okay not great but okay. Made my share of mistakes and have every intention of getting on track.
Seems that life is getting in the way. My emotions are getting in the way and I need to find a more productive way of dealing with it.
As I type this blog I am resisting the urge to go and heat up some pizza and eat it. I am not sure why I am wanting to eat but know that the urge was there. The only way that I know how to deal with this is by going to bed.
How do you deal with these urges to eat when your not hungry or when the emotions become too much that the only way to deal with it is to eat.....
I want out of this vicious circle and need to get out but, I am struggling. I watch all these shows where FAT people get help and wonder why that can't be me - getting help for FREE? Some how it doesn't seem fair.
Sigh, all I can do is try my very best and hope for a positive outcome.
Wish I had someone to meet up with for walks and/or ZUMBA.
Will try and post my menus tomorrow.
Hope you all are doing well and that you had successes over this weekend.
Let's go FAT Chicks....we can do this.
Ah girl......I have joined the blog here and am posting some too...here is my first:

I am following you now so I can keep up to par with ya and to lend some support.
Sadness over our body is not a fun thing!!! I have struggled with it all my damn life.
When you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first...see if that calms you down (seriously!!). Then opt for a choice of fruit....have plenty of apples and small clementines around. Also, if you have some cut up veggies ready to eat in a container in the fridge, and some dip.....for me, I am not always actually hungry when I want to eat...I am an emotional eater and always have been....my sadness about myself makes me pig out and with horrible food too.....I am on track now and am hoping I stay here for a while, because I am liking the outcome so far. 8 pounds down and trying to make this work this time!!! You have the willpower inside you..it is there! YOU just have to blindside the bad demon who wants to eat! FOOD DOES NOT TASTE AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS!!!!! A life of unhappiness and stuck in a body that you very uncomfortable with is NOT a way to live.
I keep a food journal and write down everything I eat and count the calories...I now have my "SHEDDING FOR THE WEDDING" binder and will put things in there to keep me motivated....
YOU CAN DO THIS.....you just get out of this slump and start making those changes. AND you don't always have to eat different things than your family....you just need to have a smaller portion or count the calories if you want to do a calorie diet...I eat 1200 a day. All you need is a food scale ($10) to weigh and some measuring cups.....do you like green tea??? Not only is it good for you, but green tea suppresses the appetite.
I am IN LOVE with GOURMET STEAMERS...frozen section.....sooooo yummy!!!! Walmart has them for $2.77. Mostly under 300 calories and the BEST frozen diet dinner I have ever had...they come with a sauce that heats separately and you pour into the given bowl with the food....I also add to it since it is low in calories. Like more instant rice if it is a rice dish, to fill me more....or more veggies and meat.
The summer is coming and I know you don't want to spend it being overweight and unhappy!!!! I know I don't!!!! I am here for encouragement and words of advice!!!!!!!
I left a freaking long comment and it didn't accept it....holy cow!!!!!! I said some good things too!!!! :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am here for encouragement and words of advice. I will write what I had here in my blog tomorrow......damn computer blog!!!!! grrrrrrr
Hope you are feeling better......BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!!!
funny...came back and saw my first comment when it told me there was an error....happy to see it there because it was a long one!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Dott it is a vicious circle! My journey continues every day. Losing the weight and keeping it off has been a major challenge in my life but such a rewarding one on most days. There is a ton of work that goes into healthy lifestyle....PLANNING AND PREVENTION.......As Believer says "nothing tastes as good as thin(for me just smaller, never been thin) feels" I can not express enough how NOT important the number on the scale is. My success is measure other ways. I too consider myself an emotional eater. I eat when I am happy, I eat when I am sad, I eat when I am bored, I eat when I am over tired, I eat when I am depressed..........I love to eat!.....and I love food!. The past while I focus on what I can eat and not what I can not eat. I focus on what I am doing to make changes instead of what I am not doing. I don't blame others for my problem like I use to, I now take responsibility, I do have a choice what I eat or don't eat. Learning little tricks, this week I had to make a new list of things I can not have in the house. My trigger foods! I use to bring certain foods home for other members of the family saying to myself "oh I will get that for them, but I am not going to eat that myself". And guess what? if its in the house I will eat it!... The bottom line is I can not have certain foods in my house. One family member said "we don't have a problem and we want that stuff in the house". Well, I decided if I eat myself to death they will have a problem big problem. So I buy the groceries and I am now the food boss of what is in my home. And also I have abused my family long enough with crappy food, they now have healthy choices. I have also learned to make low fat desserts, low fat treats because I love to eat! Is it easy! Heck no! Is it worth it!......OH YEAH!!
