Sad.

Thursday, May 07, 2009

Today I'm sad. I'm sad and I can't say why specifically (seems like lots of little reasons.) I'm sad and I want to eat everything in sight. I'm sad and I want to eat nothign at all. I'm sad and I want to excercise. I'm sad and I want to sit around and do nothing. I'm sad and I want to be alone. I'm sad and I want everyone to know. I'm sad and I want to sink into a hole and go away for a while. Mostly just go away, nobody understands I think. How can they if I say nothing? I'm sick of this and just sad, sad, sad.....

I would just try to go for a walk...........breathing in the fresh air always gives me a little lift and seeing the blessings all around me, birds, trees, flowers! Find your blessings; that usually gives me a huge lift.......there are so many........ Barbara Report Inappropriate Comment

Good Days.

Saturday, March 28, 2009

I love the motivation I get from a good day. I find myself feeding on that positive energy. With the little goals coming easy, I'm starting to set the bar higher. Even tough the weight is not coming off as easy as the first week, I am eating better, exercising more and thinking positively. I accept the set backs and move on, never totally falling off my target. It's funny how that momentum spills over to all areas of life. I feel more in touch with my friends. I care more about those around me. I am striving to be a better all around person. This positive spirit has found me with unexpected recognition at work and more excitement in facing every day! I even turned down some french fries today. It's the little victories that I am coming to appreciate and grow from.

i think this is a wonderful résumé after 2 weeks on SP, and it describes EXACTLY how i felt after i started here. i loved how the positivity and motivation flowed over to other areas of my life, how i infected others with it, and how i got carried on by that wave. wishing you lots more of successful days and weeks!

Trigger Foods

Wow, so French Fries! My nemesis.... I was so good having lunch today and worked my hardest to avoid ordering any. I even skipped when I was tempted with just one. Then, of course to my demise, someone left a whole bunch of them behind for me to chow. It started out okay. "Oh, I'll only eat five." I went slow and just snaked a bit. Then, I gave in to temptation and ate the whole container.
Next time I will try harder on the will power. I just really think if I can keep it to five I would be okay. Maybe if I get up and walk away once I've had my limited amount I'll be okay. Maybe I should just avoid them all together? I'll experiment and see. :)

It is sooooooo hard to NOT eat that stuff when it is right in front of you. Maybe next time you will put sugar all over them; don't think you would want them then!!LOL!!!! Barbara Report Inappropriate Comment

Falling off the wagon...

Friday, March 20, 2009

On wed night I got off work early and came home to make a nice dinner. I was in a okay mood and just wanted to escape from the whole work stress and craziness of my life for a while. I did make dinner, but instead of making healthy choices I ate the whole thing plus some cookies,etc. Way tooo much food for one setting. I was over hungery when I got home and I think I used food as an escape from my life for a bit. I also could not stop myself from eating everything in sight while waiting for dinner to be ready. I always have that probelm! Why can't I wait to eat?!? My plan for next time is to talk a walk or something and come back to food later after I've managed to relase my stress a bit. Food should not be my emotional outlet!!!

Thanks for the great support guys! The past day have been much better. I'm proud of my progress and excited about what is to come. I'm totally back on the wagon, or whatever. I'm learning that one failure does not end all the hard work. I do best just to forget about it and move forward. I like the idea of eating with my left hand, I'll try that. Thanks again! :) Report Inappropriate Comment

I know what you mean, and I am still working on this suggestion: EAT SLOWLY!!!!Sometimes I must think the food is going to get up and walk away, I eat so quickly....it is a new habit to work into your lifestyle! I also try to eat with the less dominant hand......man is that trip, especially soup. Get the bib out!!! Barbara Report Inappropriate Comment

I took a day off too. I had a bad experience and started off the day by doing my old routine. I guess that is why they call it comfort food. Exercise is good for stress. I will need to prepare myself for tomorrow so I can get back on track. Thinking and planning for those possible pitfalls is a good idea. Whatever you do, do not beat yourself up. Make tomorrow a better day but recognize that a few off days is okay. Report Inappropriate Comment

Think of it this way - Tomorrow is a new day. We all have days like that now and then. Beleive me I know, so don't beat yourself up over it. The walk thing when you are stressed is a very good idea as it helps to curb your appitite. And another thing to try is drink a water while you are waiting or V8. Report Inappropriate Comment
