Here it is 2 days later and no budge on the scale. So it isn't the big c. I follow everything to a t so I don't know why I still haven't seen results. I still am hungry all the time, even after adding a few salads, two eggs and sometimes an extra packet. Then I get upset over what I can eat and what others are told. I have been having red pepper a few times a week and then told no, can't do that. Same thing with cabbage. Had that twice, but now told nope, you suck. AGH!!
I feel so bad, I had to leave work early because we had a baby shower and I just couldn't be in there. It is going to be hard these next 3 weeks. I have two teacher appreciation lunches, four dinners, a carnival tomorrow and a parents breakfast. If my WI goes good this week and it budges then it will help me stay focused and on track. On top of all that I will be hosting two get togethers because my BIL is coming in from Japan. Oh me, oh my!
WOW, I didn't realize I was being so negative. I am usually always a happy person and lately no one wants to be my friend and now I can see why! Sorry. I will try to put myself in a better mood and be more positive!!  is that better??!!!!!!!!!!! |
After many years in education I have found out that school staff rooms are awash in processed carbs. It is a never ending cycle of gazillion things to celebrate.
Add to that we are so incredibly busy during the time that the kids are there and we are multitasking at such a high level it often is not even registering on us what we are actually eating.
I started to wonder why all teachers (and other staff) are not massively overweight instead of just many of us. I started paying more attention to what and how people at work were eating.
It seems that some lucky people have great metabolisms; many people are far more physically active than I am and some people are very selective about what they choose to eat.
I finally realized that I had to be a member of that third group. I decided that what ever was being celebrated or appreciated could be done without food. I learned to totally block out whatever food was being brought in. I planned my own food and brought it with me. If it is potluck I always bring a big salad.
Anyway I have gotten to the point that I don't even notice all the goodies in the staff room anymore. I have coffee and chat with everyone and people don't even notice I am not eating the stuff that was supplied, That is because there are many other people who have always done that.
Sounds tough but over the years it is unbelievable how much bad for you food comes your way. This is not an IP matter but a long time of bad choices I wish I had learned to overcome earlier in my life.
But you really do need to get the digestive issues under control if you can figure out what balances out for you between the Big C and the other extreme.
It is very tough to stay on track with that going on.
Good luck!
