Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 You HAVE to find something else to do to take your mind off of eating everything in sight at those weak times. Right after school is the hardest time for me. If I go home I find myself eating until I am almost sick. Therefore, I just don't go home! I find somewhere else to go until time for me to go to my swim team practice. Once I get beyond that time between school and swim team practice, I am fine. There are times when we go to the mall and I try on a few clothes or something. Anything to keep my mind occupied. However, on days that I have to go home because my sons get tired of my afternoon, seemingly needless excursions, I throw on my iPod and walking shoes and head out the door as soon as I can. I take a water bottle with me and fill up on water. Most days I can handle it but there are days that I find myself grazing. It seems there are moments when I almost sabbotage all I have worked for and I do something like buy a damn bag of Reese's Pieces and down the entire bag (not the individual serving bag) in a matter of a few days! INSANE! I know certain things are my weakness so I try not to buy them at all because I honestly have no control over some addictions. I ran into the man who fills the snack machine in our teacher's lounge right across the hall from my room. I begged him NOT to put anymore of the Reese's Pieces in the machine. He kind of laughed and told me to come pick what I wanted in the machine! So, I picked everything that I don't like!!! Other teachers may not be so happy with me!!! lol. Basically, just GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! Run for your life!!! You...or rather WE can get through these tough times of the day. It's all in a matter of what we FORCE ourselves to do. If you have to stay in the house, do something that gets your hands really dirty or something so you won't want to eat! Good luck and stay out of the kitchen!!!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks Jenni, Yeah, I know I need to get away from the house. I go for days not being attracted to food, even when I am at home so I don’t know what happened to me last weekend. I think I almost sabotage myself on purpose…like I am afraid to get to goal…because there will be nothing else to strive for? I know that doesn’t make sense….

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 My daughter say's that since I was a smoker for so long, it has something to do with the oral fixation of the hand to mouth thing....that..... and because the weight has been an issue for so long...it is also a bit of lack of self esteem and not allowing ourselves to believe that we are really worth this success.....a little deep....but she may have something. How do we get past this?????? Mills <tracy@...> wrote: Thanks Jenni, Yeah, I know I need to get away from the house.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 , But it makes perfect sense. It is kind of like that onset of slight depression once the wedding you have planned for so long is over. Or like post-pardom depression. Very similar emotions. My biggest thing right now is I am worried that my face has really gotten too thin! Imagine that!!! My God, who would have thought!!! Anyway, I took these goofy pictures of my youngest son and I together...you know, the kind you take of yourselves with the camera stretched out in your hand. Well, oh my! My FACE looks HORRIBLE!!!! Where the hell did my cheeks go????? I can hear my dad now, "Jenni, you sure you want to lose more weight??" I haven't seen him since July and I kind of dread seeing him because he will think I have gotten too thin. Wait a minute! What did I just say?????? Are these really my words???? If they are, then why do I still think of myself as a 250 pound lard ass????? lol There is this man at school, whom I detested even before this statement, who had the audacity to ask me the other day just how much more weight I wanted to lose. I told him, "Well, just until I reach my goal" (like a specific number was any of HIS business). He said, "Your face is really way to thin. You look sick. Your eyes are sinking in and your cheeks are gaunt." I was truly at a loss for words, which doesn't happen very often! I picked up my chin from the floor, looked at him and said, "Do you think your opinion really matters to me?" and walked out! So, what did I do? I began staring at myself in the mirror and obsessing about my face becoming too thin! I know I am driving my husband and my boys crazy because I keep asking them what they think but now I've started worrying about being too thin!!! (Part of me thinks that is the most hilarious thing in the world!!!) Anyway, have a great day! I always enjoy your postings and I love your pictorial journal on your website. I feel a certain level of kinship....it seems we have alot of the same personality traits. It's late now, however, and I am going to bed.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi Jenni, Yes, when someone comments on something, it does affect me too. Someone told me I didn’t need to lose any more weight. I also said “I just have 5 more to go, then I can say ‘I got there’ “. They looked me up and down and said your gonna be all skin and bones. My argument to that is, they can’t see what I look like under my clothes. 5 lbs will make all the difference. I have flab on my back and love handles. I just know they will be gone with those 5lbs. It is kinda weird because when I was heavier (and remember the highest weight was 300lbs in Feb 1994) I used to think 5 to 10 lbs was nothing. My skinny friends would say “I need to lose 10lbs” and I would laugh at them inside my head, like they were idiots or something. Now I understand. My pants fit better even with 1lb loss. My shirts hang better. As a side note I might add that it took me 4 days to lose the 2 lbs that I gained in 2 days over the weekend!! Now I only have one day to do anything before it hits me again and Sunday is the Cowboys game!! (I always like to eat while watching the game…I mean come on, who doesn’t?) Maybe I can buy a bunch of low cal snacks….or I could always eat a piece of really doughy bread and slime and get stuck and not want to eat anything else.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 , I so very much identify with you. Here are my suggestions for Game Day! Plain popcorn-Tropicana makes a sugar free orange drink that with crushed ice is so very good-I have even reverted to gum chewing to make the hunger and oral gratification feeling a little easier to deal with. Veggies with fat free ranch dressing for dipping would also be good. At least calorie wise that would give you some " munchie satisfaction " . Good luck!
