Re: What did everyone eat today?

[Guest guest]

Hi Robyn:

Today was a very bad food day.....I just couldnt eat, was too upset this

morning. But I ate dinner made a turkey taco on low carb tortilla. And had a

protein shake this morning.

I'm almost done with my water for today, by the end of the night I should

have 74 ounces in. And yes I went to Curves and exercised and guess what? This

month I lost 10.5 inches total, woohoo. I'm 3 1/2 months post op, too early to

fal back into old habits.

I have no appetite because I am sick and fell back on my old habit

of a coffee drink as a meal. I am also kinda depressed because I am

very swollen and have edema. Puffy like a blowfish so I don't want

to eat.I look like hell and feel enormous.

I have no food in the house because I am afraid to eat. There are 2

bags of Sugar Free Milano cookies in the tire well of my SUV because

I was weak and bought them on impulse at Target Sunday night. I am

afraid to bring them in the house.

Today was a bad food day for me.

Let's see

I had 1/2 decaf, 1/2 reg coffee with sweetener (about 16ozs...I HAVE

to have coffee in the AM or I am a biatch!). One slice of bacon. A

Zone Bar. My protein drink (Proplet with Tangerine crystal light),

tuna with salad and fat free/low/carb, etc salad dressing. TONS of

water! Dinner is going to be a salmon filet maybe. My stomach has

been bothering me all day so I don't know about food right now.

I did my Sansone walk away the lbs with my workout buds (2

miles in 30 mins!). We've dubbed ourselves the Hallelujah Girls

(there's a part of one tape where we do kickbacks and raise our hands

in thanks--hallelujah! LOL)

I am 2 yrs and some months out and nope, no old eating habits.

I probably get 64 ozs and more in everyday.

I did talk to the doc's office and no, they didn't test me for

anemia...so I call back tomorrow to find out where and when.

I was kinda blah today--I think the stress from the change of duties

is bad and I'm not eating over it just PISSY. LOL...I'm getting

tired of being bitched at and told my boss that today. So we'll see

how the rest of the week goes!

Umm Missy

You need to find you some protein somewhere. You are SURE you're

post menopausal? I swear that you sound like a woman who's on her

period!

Today I promised myself to be compliant. So far,

Breakfast: A Cinnamon Crunch Protein Bar and Protein

Hot Cocoa, Lunch: Apple with some peanut butter and

protein bar, Snack: Munster cheese, not sure what I'm

going to have for dinner yet. I have my support group

tonight in Garden Grove at 7:00. I've had about half

of my liquids, been very good with my vitamins and NO

DIET COKE for 4 days!!! That is my goal...to

absolutely give up the carbonation. I know it's not

good for me.

Mostly, but not always. I could do better.

14 months

> Did you exercise?

Nope. I've been a real slacker of late. Groan. I know how important

this is...and I'm starting back to the gym next week, I swear!

(Please pester me if I don't!)

Well, I sometimes eat bread or pasta now, which I didn't do for a

whole year. Nevertheless, my weight seems to stay stable. I'm

watching my weight closely, to see what makes the scale go up or

down. I do want to stay where I am, which is what my doctor says is

ideal for me (124.5 lbs). So far, so good; I've not gone over 126

since getting down to my goal weight. I don't, by the way, eat sugar.

I didn't do well on fluids today I maybe drank about 60oz (I usually

intake over 100). Too much stress my stomach is in knots but here is

my diet:

1 banana

1 slice of cheese

1 string chese

1 sm. package of pemmican sweet and hot jerky (YUM)

2 cups of carb countdown milk

and to ruin the day...Taco bell's Chicken Quesadilla without

jalapeno sauce! Wow thats a lot of cheese LOL no wonder my calcium

isn't low LOL And my doctor told me to STOP exercising. He wants me

to slow down my weight loss! GO FIGURE!!

Robyn,

So you know, edema and swelling can be caused by low protein

(albumin) levels. You are going to get a lecture from me now (want

it or not here it comes! BRACE YOURSELF lol)...food is your friend

hun. You need some help to work through your food issues still it

sounds like. You just need to learn not to let it be bigger than you

are and to make better choices. Starving youself because you don't

have much appetite and are afraid to eat, only makes the metabolism

slow down and make the situation worse!! Nothing tastes as good as

thin feels..remember it. You are in power of your mind and your

choices. Food is not a living object that has the power to

pursuade..you use food as an emotional tool like a dependent person

to an abuser. Its time you work on that..Im saying all this to you

from the depths of love and concern. And hopefully to get you to

realize that YOUR MIND has everything it needs now, with the

assistance of the surgery, to get what you want out of it.

Have I scolded you enough? I love you babe..stop punishing yourself.

EAT! Just take control and DO IT! every day it gets easier. I

know..when it comes to food, I used it for my coping mechanism too

and used it to punish myself when I felt I wasn't being good. Its

how I got to be Morbidly obese to begin with. Remember food is not

supposed to make you feel good or bad..it is merely the way we fuel

our bodies to survive. Eat even if your appetite isn't great because

you need to...don't over eat when you don't need to. Make healthy

choices..you have done so damn good..why stop now? Ps..get the

cookies out of your tirewell and flush the badboys down the toilet.

Stop buying them to begin with and they won't torment your mind!!

YOU HAVE THE POWER! :-)

Big love and hugs,

Kat
