Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 I want to thank everyone for the wonderful, loving advice and support you guys are giving me. Yesterday and this morning have been the most emotionally stressful days in years for me. I know now that that is where most of my original post came from.....it was VERY emotionally based. I am a stress eater and always have been. So my first thought during all the crap in the last 24 hours was to dive into any food that was warm and gooey and comforting. I want this to work so badly. But this morning I felt like and addict who was recently clean and then life threw a curve ball and the way to deal with it was to get a fix....and in my case that fix is food. I know in my heart that with all the support I get here and at home I can do this. I just need to put the train back on the tracks so to speak. Now a confession.....after I took my daughter to pictures day at school this morning, she wanted some French fries. Well, I caved in and ordered a Double onion burger at McD's. I know I will pay for it, but I did it and that is that. It is over and I am re-focused....I hope. I will begin to post my menus again tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Candace, as someone who has lost 3 lbs in 3 months... I sure know how frustrating this can be. (ok, a few days ago it was 9 lbs - but that's *still* not a lot for 3 months). But you said yourself - you love the food you're eating - and that's the reason I'm sticking it out here. About the hamburger - don't worry about it - who knows, it might even 'jumpstart' your weight loss - our bodies are weird that way, I don't think anyone has really figured bodies out. Wishing you lots of luck and weigh tloss, Vered 209/206/165 7/7/01 > ~Candace~ wrote: > > I want to thank everyone for the wonderful, loving advice and support > you guys are giving me. > > Yesterday and this morning have been the most emotionally stressful > days in years for me.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Candace, I am a pizzaholic. My friends will not go with me at lunch to the pizza buffet anymore because they were embarrased at the piles of " pizza carcasses " that were left at the table! I really just like the flavor. I don't have to eat the crust (or for that matter any more of the sauce than what sticks to the goodies) to be perfectly satisfied at the pizza buffet. Another good thing about it is there is always a salad to eat first and kind of fill me up some. I'll even get the cheesy bread if it is on the buffet and peel the cheese off to eat! Gosh, I sound disgusting...no wonder they won't go with me anymore. That's OK, I'll still go alone, because it makes me feel like I am giving myself a treat. I think almost everything I eat there is legal and really even if there are small illegal goodies on the pizzas...well, quite frankly, I don't care! Just knowing that I can do this anytime I want makes it much easier to be happy on this WOE. I'm losing weight slowly, andI don't mind because I know that I'll be eating this way for the rest of my life. I only weigh once a month so I won't concentrate on how much I'm losing or not losing. The scale lies most of the time anyhow!!!! I know it does. My tape measure even fibs to me on occaision. But I know that this time next year (only 12 weighings from now!) that I'll look a whole lot different, and that year is going to pass whether I'm losing, staying the same, or gaining, right? I chose to let it pass with me either staying the same or losing. The moral to the story? Find something that makes you feel good about doing this and stop obsessing about if it is working...IT IS. Don't worry because you don't see it in the short-run. It will be worth it in the long-run. I promise. Sydne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
