Re: Finding the good in some bad days

[Guest guest]

And I thought that I was having a bad three days!

 

Even though we don't know each other, I'm feeling really proud of you! :-) I

think that you did the best you could under such stressful conditions and you

are more than ready to self correct and get back on your weight loss journey.

Way to go!!

 

BTW...you have given me some much needed motivation today. I had a disagreement

with a very good friend today and am feeling a bit down and honestly, I am so

glad that I didn't give in to ice-cream and cookies for comfort...

Three nights ago I had a huge fight with my wife. Up to 2am fighting. Work at

8am.

Two mornings ago, I blew off the gym due to lack of sleep (see above fight).

Two evenings ago, I offered to take my wife out to eat so we could discuss a few

things more civilly and sort of make up. Special because we sort of gave up

going out to eat save for special occasions. I was going to avoid fries, but she

wanted sweet potato fries for an " appetizer " . I shared. Dinner was a cashew

shrimp replacing rice for extra veggies. Not the worst choice I could have made,

but far from the best in that situation.

two nights ago it turned out that the whole bedset was in the washer for two

hours. The wife forgot and it wasn't done until 2am. I should have made the

choice to sleep earlier without sheets.

one morning ago, I blew off the gym despite how awesome it makes me feel, due to

really really lack of sleep (see last two nights).

one afternoon ago, at work, we found out my friend and manager, the most

competent manager by far, was fired during one of the most hectic busy days.

one lunch ago, some managers and coworkers went to Soup Plantation, the biggest

sham in the arena of " healthy fast food " choices. Whenever something dramatic

happens like someone gets fired/hired or massive changes take place, we take a

lunch meeting to discuss. I can imagine this meal was better for me than say...

burger king, but it was in no way shape or form a healthy balanced meal (an all

you can eat buffet without protein? They know what they're doing).

one evening ago, the work day jumped from 8hours to 12 when a whole lot of

requirements nobody had previously mentioned came up. Manager bought us dinner

at Baja Fresh (the " Healthiest " of mexican fast food, which doesn't say much).

one night ago, I got home late. My loving wife knew I was stressed out and had

dinner ready for me. I ate that too... then went to bed.

Today I'm trying to get back to how I feel best. I have a terrible headache, I'm

tired, I'm having cravings... No doubt due to the food I ate, the amount, no

exercise, etc.

So that was a good learning experience.

I've learned that if I don't track everything honestly I will overeat.

I've learned that the combination of planning and exercise work well.

I've learned that stressful situations will trigger me to want to eat more.

I've learned that even in what I'd loosely refer to a two day binge, I'm still

making healthier choices than I was weeks ago.

I've learned that after eating at an all you can eat carb buffet, followed up

with bad Mexican fast food, I just feel so so gross.

Hi Sf,

You make me laugh with the way you write, totally relate to your post,

particularly your learning experiences.

Same for me. If i don't track, I over eat, but I stop tracking when I am setting

myself up to overeat, I didn't realize how devious I could be LOL.

Fathers day wasn't a whole lot better eating at a BBQ... again, better than

my old ways, but not on my fast track. On the plus side I was helping my

brother in law landscape the yard (ie, digging trenches and setting up

piping for sprinklers) for my father in law. I'm really achey now, so I

might have burned some of that BBQ goodness off

Ms Whitey, I do the same thing. I realize that there are times I just don't

want to *know* or be bothered to track what I'm eating.

Very interesting thought...I, too, noticed that I tend to not keep track if I

don't want to see what I am eating. Now we need to get over that somehow.

hello all! i am still traveling in Europe and have not really been reading

the emails... i am trying to stay active re: IOWL, by staying physically

active, listening to podcasts, writing, etc. I must admit, I have been

counting calories though. I wasnt doing it for the first half of the trip,

but then one day just started again and couldnt stop... with that along with

other stress, i ate more than i wanted to at dinner tonight.. which was

probably the right amount anyways, as i tend to restrict...

but, of course, there is good to find here: i cam now self'correcting and

was able to take some time for myself to get centered and in a better head

space... on a redo, i would have eaten slower and stopped eating to allow

myself to feel the anger and agitation i was feeling. i am also exhausted

from travel. also, i am learning a lot. i am learning that counting

calories is totally triggersome and not fun, surely not what i want to move

towards. i have also learned that i can trust my body to tell me what it

needs (i.e. my interprtation of overeating tonight really left my body

feeling pretty darn good)

counting calories is one of my final blocks to real success... i know i've

mentioned it before, but help! i guess i have not been willing to stop?!

but, it is miserable... distracting and mostly ineffective.

love to you all, great work!
