Considering Jaw Wiring..

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Really. I think that is the only solution to my overeating. I am definitely eating way fewer calories than I used too, but its not enough. I hate that everytime I eat, I get mad at myself for eating. I wish I could just remember how much I get angry after eating badly before I actually commit the act.
I wonder how much getting my jaw wired shut would cost? Haha.

Hahaha. Don't think that's a good idea...but here's just a suggestion that might work...when you think you're hungry or the idea to grab a bite to eat pops into your head, tell yourself to wait 5 minutes. I find that the "splurge urge" goes away if I'm wanting to binge if I wait that long...usually something else comes up (I have a 5 year old, so that happens frequently) and I completely forget about wanting to eat. BUT sometimes I sit there and tap my foot while the time passes and then I run and grab a piece of chocolate or something I know I shouldn't have! Good luck to you...it takes time to get used to, but you can do it! Report Inappropriate Comment

Well, i think wiring your jaw would cost quite a bit of money since it is not medically necessary ;) I did see that on the Real World on MTV one time, that killed it for me.. i don't like drinking through straws that much Report Inappropriate Comment

Friendship?

Saturday, March 21, 2009

So my best friend lives 4 hours away from me. She is one of the most important persons in my life. She is going through a rough time because she is trying to decide if she wants to leave her husband or stick it out in an unhappy marriage. I feel I have done what I can do being this far away from her. I called her every day for a week to check on her, but she has never been much of the telephone talking type. I told her last friday to call me if she needed me. Then I got swallowed in to my hectic week and never heard from her. We were suppossed to go down and visit this weekend but we have absolutely ZERO money to buy gas to go down there. So I texted her mother today (who is my husbands aunt) and said, I am sorry we can't come..money troubles are bad. Thinking I would get a supportive response. I was WRONG. I got a response worthy of the devil saying she was furious with me for not only not coming down but for not calling her daughter all week to check on her because she had a bad week. Im sorry that she had a bad week but I am not psychic. I told her to call me if she needed me..because everytime I call she tries to rush off the phone and doesn't want to talk. So, now I am the bad guy. Because I didn't call. I had a very crazy week between work, school, money troubles, and being a wife..the week flew by in a blur. Before I knew it it was Friday. I don't think I did anything wrong? Do you think i did something wrong?

The bottom line here is people's lives get busy. Period. Your's got busy and that doesn't mean you were a bad friend or that you did anything wrong. You DID tell her to call you if she needed you and that obviously didn't happen. For the mother to say something instead of your friend, that's a little nutty. I would talk to your friend...maybe the mom is making a bigger deal out of it then it really is. Good luck. Hope things work out. Just remember that you are a good friend and you were/are concerned. You were there for her. Report Inappropriate Comment

Of course not, and it wasn't your friend who said that to you it was her mom right? She is probably one of those people who act like something is owed to them. I hate that because thats how my best friend is, she can walk all over people and still expect good things to come her way from them. Don't worry about it, just keep your head up and keep working and focusing on YOU. Thats what I am going to do, focus on me, my son and our family. I want to have a lot of fun this summer and nothing but divine intervention is going to stop me fromt that! Report Inappropriate Comment

I don't think you did anything wrong. Sounds like you did everything I would have done. This is the very reason why I really don't have friends. So much drama to deal with! Report Inappropriate Comment

The scale is still going down! That's the direction I want to see. Still doing well on my eating! Glad my husband said he was going to quit eating like a cow in front of me so that I wouldn't be tempted to eat more. So far, he is living up to that deal! I am ready to go out and walk..but its lightning and raining and I don't think that is a good combination for fitness!

Hang in there Niki!! You can do this. A suggestion ~ as far as walking outdoors and not able to due to the weather, try Leslie's in-home walking videos. I do this every morning and listen to music at the same time. After awhile, you don't need the video and then you visualize your surroundings while listening to inspiration songs. Just focus on your goal and go forward...grab a flavored water to quench that mental hunger! Jazzy!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Yesterday wsa Good, Today was decent.

Monday, March 16, 2009

I did SO good on my diet yesterday! Here is what I ate: Lunch 2 pieces of string cheese and grapes. Dinner: Garlic grilled chicken breast, green beans, and some yummy chicken flavored rice with broccoli florets and carrots (Birdseye Steamers). For snack my hubby and i made a fruit plate with apples and grapes, string cheese, and yogurt.

Today forbreakfast I had Special K Cereal and for lunch I had a lemonpepper grilled chicken breast and the same rice/veggies.For a midmorning snack I had an apple and a midafternoon snack I had a yogurt. For dinner I had whole wheat spaghetti, with light sauce and a little bit of asiago cheese. For snack I had a Skinny Cow Fudge Bar. I cheated alittle and ate 6 oreos. Bad habits die hard. But overall these last two days have been going so well.

I am trying to figure out what to pack for lunch tomorrow! :)

You're doing great! Letting yourself have a treat is ok... 6 oreos now is way better than none today and 16 tomorrow! :-) Report Inappropriate Comment

Sounds like you're doing a great job. Its ok to splurg every once in awhile! I really feel like I might go insane if I didn't! And I LOVE Skinny Cow Fudge Bars! They taste so sinful.......but they're not! Good job! Keep up the good work! Report Inappropriate Comment
