Just wanted to know how everyone is doing...
I just wanted to know if everyone is doing well with all the Christmas "food festivities." I know in my house alone, I baked 3 different cookies on the 23rd and didn't eat one. Yesterday was a different story though. I didn't go over board and start binging, I did stop myself. I am hoping I can do the same today! Merry Christmas!

I stopped myself yesterday too, but today we are getting together with the family.. I dont know if I can handle today
|
Xmas cookies are so tempting.. I admit that I ate 4 of them yesterday...:C I must get in control...!!
|
I did not make any Christmas treats this year trying to be good.

I posted this on my personal blog and I think it fits here too.
I made a pact with myself when I started dieting again. No dieting on major holidays or family get-togethers. In the past I obsessed. I fretted over every tiny calorie. Parties provoked anxiety. I isolated because I feared judgment. I was lonely because I isolated. I have enjoyed this weekend thoroughly. That includes every fat-laden, calorie-drowned bite. I could feel guilty. But that would be like smearing crap all over great memories. I had fun! Life is so much simpler when you allow yourself to let go once in awhile. The difference for me between the past dieting and now is: In the past, after a weekend like this I would flood myself with guilt. I would then tell myself that I was stupid. Fat. Ugly. Horrid. I would then feel so sh**ty that I didn't care anymore. I told myself that no matter what I did I would still be: Fat. Ugly. Horrid. So then I would quit trying. The next day I would continue to eat whatever. I would give up on weight loss. I would just quit. But today I choose to accept this weekend. I'm okay with this weekend. It wasn't even a bump in the road. Not even a detour. It was a vacation. It was a decision I made ahead of time. It was a chance to rest and relax. And now it's over. I still have work to do. Tomorrow isn't another freebie day. Tomorrow is a work day. Tomorrow I choose to eat right. I choose this because I want the weight loss. I choose this because I deserve it. I am not: Fat. Ugly. Horrid. I am: Strong. Confident. Lovely. |
Good post Leah, makes me feel less guilty. The holidays were hard on my health, lots of junk food and soda. :( I have 9 months to lose 50lbs! I don't have much time to keep failing. I have to turn the pressure into dedication. :/

Love the post Leah, but I do feel ugly and horrid. I stopped at 4 yesterday, but ate another 4 today feel like today I am out of control. I had a great workout and then ate the calories back.

For me it was two days of pure h**l! I ate more on Xmas Eve and Xmas day than I have in total the week prior. My sister made 6 different kinds of cookies, appetizers were always out on the table and I gorged on bread and pasta and cheese and sausage and meatballs every day. And I had a disgusting fast food binge. Later that day, when I was left alone in the house, I ate all the leftovers from the previous nights dinner and then an hour or so later I was eating a full dinner with the family. I was going to leave the day after Christmas to drive my 6 hours home but after Xmas dinner I packed and hit the road. I needed to get back home, into my own controlled environment and get back on track.
I'm still trying to recover mentally and physically. That was the most out of control I have been in over a year. :( |
