Day 1 for me. It's not going too bad, I made some serious decisions about what I believe in and what I am allowing myself to put in my body. My weight keeps going up and up, this is were it is stopping. From the beginning of my weight loss journey I was against all processed foods, still am. I was going against my own beliefs by binging on processed crap. I would lose control and eat them anyway, it really bothered me. I told my family today that I will not buy anything processed for them anymore. If they want it, they have to buy it themselves and keep it in there own spot away from me. If i see it, it's going in the garbage. Them eating this way and having it in the house is why I ended up binging on it. If it is not here, I'll be fine like I was before when I was trying to lose the weight, i didn't touch it, it's like poison to me, it makes me sick, bloated and I break out with red spots all over my face when I eat any kind of processed food. My body does not want it cause I was eating clean for so long. I want to feel as great as I did before I started binging on processed foods. I want that feeling back and I'm going to get it back!
I have been careful about food and water intake, feel so good when I drink my water. I started a new excercise challenge this week, love it!!! And I am down 2lbs this week!!!!! YAY!
LataJones- keep up the good work! I can't wait to join you in the double-digits
tatertash- YOU CAN DO IT!!! I am on Day 4 so we're pretty close and I can guarantee we will both be getting into weeks, months, etc.
foxxxy- great job on 2.5 weeks AND on your weight loss
tyla- let me just tell you how *inspirational* you are! I would love to be able to post triple digits!
Starting Day 4 today! For me, this is great since for a looong time I haven't been able to go a single day without bingeing or overeating and while yesterday I veered slightly off-plan(by *one* bag of 100 calorie pretzels), that is definitely NOT a binge.
Peachy-you're right, why would I want food?! (Maybe why do I want food!) It's true that it doesn't make anything better.
tyla--Thanks for the encouragement and good thoughts!
Foxxy--thanks for saying I'm strong--I think that's the kind of thing you just need to hear from someone else!!
I am on day 31 now, I was able to fight the urge. It's still there, but less strong. I hope it goes away soon...I'm not really sure what's causing it right now, it's very strange.
am trying to earn day 7... i am sick (docs still dont know what is wrong with me, why i am swollen and carrying 10lbs of water weight and my iud has to come out via surgery in a little more than a week....so i am uncomfortable, things hurt that shouldnt, i am nervous about the surgery, my youngest is in a 'bad mood' (he just turned 2) my oldest (nearly 6) is acting out at school and daycare... i just accepted a new (and wonderful!) job so now everyone at my current work is nearly crying (literally for two of the ladies) making me feel guilty about making a move for myself!
i want to finsih day 7 ... i want to get back to that 5 months of 'bliss' i had before when i went so long without a binge... over 150 days..and here i am on day 7 and struggling to not make icing ... or eat cereal... those are about my only two options! (or honey toast i guess...)
oh, i wish my body would just be 'normal' and that i wasnt 'unknown' sick... it is scaring me a lot... and apparently when i am scared i want to binge...
finishing day 3!!!! feel amazing for it but dreading this weekend. going home and this is where it always gets to its worst. if i can get through being home for 2 nights without a binge i can get through anything!!!
So, I didnt just binge.. but I had a little bit more cookie dough than I should have... Do I need to start at day 1 tomorrow? I didn't eat it until my stomach hurt, but I had a couple spoons of it. What do you guys think? I would be on Day 7 tomorrow...
Thanks lizaly I just needed a little reassurance. I also need to remember that my main goal right now is to just be in control, not to necessarily lose weight right away. I think just the fact that what I was eating was cookie dough just sent bad signals. Yea, I could of had a little less of it, but its not like I cleaned the bowl before I had a chance to bake the cookies like in the 'old' days.
Day 7 starts tomorrow.. or in a few hours. I WILL be stronger!
yesterday was another good day. i am down 9.5 pounds since i restarted this journey. my blood sugar is better and will keep getting better with good choices and when i am ready to kick in the exercise piece. steady and gentle seems to be my key. i will get there.
