Sorry to Report Addicted Relapse

Thursday, February 03, 2011

Well,

I am sorry to report I totally gave in and ate sweets. I was completely surrounded by sweets. I was watching my pastors children at there house while they were on a retreat. Well, The temptation was to great. I abstain from it up until the second night. I don't know I started to feel down for some reason and then began eating it. I don't know were I should go from here.

I think I will start out again with day 23 tomorrow. A fresh start. I was being so good and dedicated with food and exercise but the change in scenery really messed everything up...

I have had the thought a few times well I can just be fat I have been fat this long what difference will it make. Well, the bottom line is I want to be healthy. I want to be active, energized and ready to go. I want to prepare my body with optimal health so it has a fighting chance against all the diseases floating around like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and so forth..

Please keep me in your prayers I really need it. Thank you...

Addicted day 21

Sunday, January 30, 2011

Well, today was a little difficult because I kept on thinking it is my last day so who cares I can end it early.. But, I did not give in..

I was at my moms house after church and let me tell you it is so difficult to be there. I am constantly craving food when I am over there. Well, I did not give in and luckily I had given her some Chili I made last week and it was frozen and I totally was able to eat otherwise I would have been real hungry right now.

I am writing in my food diary. It is going find on the third day but we will see what the results are in thirty days... The battle begins tomorrow and I am so excited. I did my measurements now I have to do the fitness tests which I reviewed and planned on doing but now the day is here when it needs to be done.

Have a great day all....

Day 20 Can't Believe

Saturday, January 29, 2011

Today I ran right through my calories and did not get all my servings of V/F.

All and ALl a pretty productive day. I am constantly battling this sadness or anxiety. It really sucks. It makes it even harder to stay on track. I was tempted a few times to day to bite into a pancake with syrup, lick my bacony finger tips, or just have a taste of the dinner I made Jy to ensure it was tasty...

Monday I will be back to eating normal except sugar no sugar. Well that is still a tough one But I Know I will make it. I however, have 10 more days of no sugar to go which I am sure I will not go back to either way...A fellow sparker was talking about she does not eat sugar either well I know I am craving a cookie, donut, and umm a piece of cake....Well I guess that is enough...

Have a blessed day.. And I hope you are all making another step towards victory..

Owe yeah I weighed in today which I did not log because my weigh in will be Monday but it said I was at 257-258 either I am so excited because that means I broke the 260 mark if it sticks by Monday and it also means that I could totally meet my 10% goal or at least loose the 11 lbs I was suppose to loose this month either way what happiness.

Addicted Day 19 WOW

Friday, January 28, 2011

Well, yesterday I stayed in my calorie range and am feeling so empowered.

I am realizing that I should start journaling why and I am eating each time I eat. I really need to know my triggers and then learn to replace that with healthy behaviors. If I am intentional I will be successful. Up to this point I have told myself I know what my trigger foods and emotions are. But, I really do not know enough to identify the trigger as I am being tempted and then replace that temptation with a healthy habit. I am really excited about doing that.

I was reading a popular blog about I have a dream.. So, I figure I will write my dreams so I can see them to come to pass.

I have a dream to be in single sized clothing.

I have a dream to not think about food every second of the day.

I have a dream to not desire fatty or sugary foods.

I have a dream that I would choose hunger over processed high fatty/sugary foods.

I have a dream that activity will not be a battle but a habit.

I dream to meet "onderland" conquer and maintain.

I dream to be the best mother I can be with endurance and energy teaching my son healthy eating and living habits.

I dream that I would Love God more and want him more than I want food.

I dream that people and there lives would be more important to me then food.

I dream to meet my goal and know what this victory will feel like.

I am feeling so good today.. That darn scale is my enemy.. I usually do not have one but my mother bought me one for christmas with good intentions. But now I can't stay off of it. I think I will put it aways so I don't just step on it everytime I go to the bathroom...


Have a great day SP.. GOd Bless

Addicted Day 18

Thursday, January 27, 2011

My streak in my calorie range ended last night. I was reading an article that included OJ concentrate as another name for sugar. Plus with my calories going down I was in a bit of shock. I felt so upset about the OJ I did a little searching about it but have not found that there are any additives to the juice. But I did look on the carton and see that there is 24 g of sugar in the carton.

I guess the reason I was really bummed was because I thought I had gone this whole time with no sugars or with minimum whatever is in fresh produce to satisfying by sugar craving through sugar. Well I know I need not to drink Juice whether the sugar is added or not but I am really sad about the entire situation.

So, I did not know what I was going to do today. I stayed up late last night which greatly contributes to my binging and is a result of my anxiety or mood. But today I woke up on the edge but managed to log on to spark people and log everything I ate. I also managed to get exercise in. Well I have sweating in the spirit which is completing up lifting. I totally spent time with the Lord and sweat too. Well, I finished energized to move onto the strength training of the day and even a 10min ab work out. Praise the Lord he is so faithful. My mood has completely turned around.

I also found Sherlyn's blog which showed up on my feed. What a complete blessing. I know what I am going to do from this point I am going to do some more research and really dig in to this battle. I know the Lord can restore me but I know he wants me to go through this journey. I am ready and am thankful for him guiding my steps. I cannot wait to read that book SHeryln was talking about. Plus I think I should start journaling why I am eating so here comes another piece to the puzzle..

I must say that I have stole food, lied about food, binged, snuck and ate and the ultimate disgracing thing in my life eat food out of the garbage(years ago but none the less it was done). I am saying this because my eating addiction was affecting my son I was more worried about how much food I could get and not as worried about him. I have changed this and am improving every day. But, it was so bad he would scarf down his food because I am sure he was worried about getting more or getting enough. That is so sad but when a person is addicted they are selfish and only care about the addiction. I have manipulated situations to eat multiple meals like eat at home and then call my friend because she cooks knowing she would invite me over and then sticking around until food is served. I have had huge full born arguments with people eating food I had planned on eating. I can never change food without some build up and that is why the calorie change was so devastating.


I share this to say yes I am an addict I was always grateful drugs did not stick to me because I would be a mess. But, I am a mess because this addiction rules my life. I am claiming victory and stand in my authority given by Jesus Christ and claim his Holy Spirit to justify and restore me.... It will happen and nothing will control me but my body will be a slave to me....Amen...

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
