I said no to a breakfast snack that was in the Association Office this morning. They kept insisting that I take a taste, so I had a bite, it was good AND I was done. I can remember the time when I would take a whole slice and eat it - even if I didn't like it. Wow, memories. :-o

Wondergale, that's great. You are doing everything one step at a time and that's the key. Good for you.

I again said no to cookies (I love cookies). I actually made the cookies (oatmeal, dark chocolate chip and pecans) and my co-workers were asking for more. I saved some in the freezer, but promised them that I would bring them in for them AND I did. I can remember a time when I would eat the whole batch and not share. I would tell myself that it cost too much money to share. Now I know that it is better to share - it's good for the hips. LOL!

I can't say that I said no to the Girl Scout cookies but I can say that I didn't eat as much. In the past my husband and I would each take a pack. There are two packages in the box. Now we take one pack and split it. Therefore we are both eating less than what we would normally eat.

Lizzie, talk about will power. Don't put a bag of Lay's chips in my hand. I can't stop. I used to buy the big bags, thinking it was cheaper and I can eat a little a day. No way! Now I buy the packs of individual 1 oz bags. My husband and I both take one bag of chips for lunch. I put them in the cabinet so we don't have to look at them all the time. Out of site, out of mind!

Last night for dinner, I had 2 slices of bacon, one biscuit and a little jelly. My husband said that's not enough. It's not going to hold you through the night. It was filling enough.
I said no to a big dinner.

I said "no" to more potato chips. At work, we had a potato chip taste test with the new Lay's potato chips. Instead of eating a handful of potato chips, I actually had ONE small chip out of each bag. I can remember a time when I would have eaten the whole bag just because it was there (even if I didn't like it).

I said no to ice cream last night. My husband decided to eat some ice cream right before bed. I didn't even have a desire for it.

I also said no to donuts this morning. My husband stopped to get donuts for his job and told me to come in with him to pick out some for myself. I told him I don't want donuts, I have cookies already. Of course I didn't but if I just said I didn't want donuts, he would have bought me some.

And so far, I haven't opened the girl scout cookies.

... today I stayed 100% on track and didn't eat too much of anything!
I better get to bed before I eat again and mess THAT up...


I've been following my daily food plans fairly well; but lately I'd take a second helping, and then another... then I'd lose even more resolve and eat ANOTHER portion, and so on until I was way over-calories.

To make it even harder to bear, when I DO pull myself back and stop eating, 90% of the time I'm still "hungry" and fighting the same urges!

Today I was able to stop BEFORE I stepped off-track. Sometimes the urges felt like a huge wave ready to break over and crush me; but I'd take a minute to steady my breathing and tell myself I could handle the feelings, and I'd get through another hour.

G'night ~

... GIVING UP...

I was able to accomplish a lot in the apartment these last few days, and the housing inspection today went brilliantly. DH wasn't able to come and help
until the last half-hour - it's really blowing up over there with his Mom, and
his Stepdad's family's behavior. Not only did the exertion feel good mentally - all the endorphins and serotonin - but seeing real progress buoyed me a
LOT emotionally. My legs are killing me (mostly cramps), but it's worth it...
Of course, I'll have to update that after the DOMS sets in!!!

... peanut butter, candy, ice cream, and a whole myriad of tempting fatty and/or sugary stuff; which I could have easily eaten "in secret," because
DH is staying with his parents for awhile.

I have to keep remembering:
If no one sees me eating, that doesn't mean I didn't eat...
and MY BODY will know every bite, even if NOBODY else knows!

My husband had to take me to the bus stop this morning. He said, "hey, the donut shop will be open. You want to get some donuts on the way to work." I said NO! We are supposed to be watching what we eat. Donuts will take too many of my calories away. Then I started looking on the internet to see what is the lowest calorie donut in case he did stop. He didn't stop this morning.

I can sure relate to THAT! I started to indulge late last night, when I should have been going to bed; but my nose wouldn't stop running and I was sneezing every other minute, so sleep seemed impossible. My "no" came when I STOPPED eating the sweet, put it away, and laid down until my head allowed me to finally go to sleep.

a time; and if I get to the end of the day 100% on track...

As for my progress now, I "relaxed" just before and after Christmas; so

Chinese food... it's in the fridge for tomorrow's Lunch, and I'm REALLY looking forward to it! We were to have it today for a late Lunch, when DH picked it up on the way home from his doctor's appointment; but the doctor sent him for tests (first to an imaging center, then to the hospital), so he came home hours later than expected.

Kaile and I had already eaten Lunch by then. She was hungry enough to eat her take-out for Dinner - well, I was too - but I knew I had eaten a large Lunch, so I ate a very light Dinner instead. Sure enough, when Kaile went to sleep, and I got on Spark and entered my food for today, my light Dinner filled my nutrition ranges perfectly!

I AM getting hungry again, for which I'll drink something non-caloric and go to bed... and I better get moving, so I can stick to my plan!

Have a Friday! Take care, Elizabeth ~

Today I stayed on my food plan 100%! The big "NO" for me today was NOT pulling out the ice cream each time I opened the freezer... and THEN, when I got a small bowl of ice cream for DH, he didn't finish it, and even though it was less than half-a-cup, I DIDN'T eat it!

LIzzie!

Today, DH pulled out an unopened bag of Reese's Halloween candy,
dumped it all in a bowl, and put the bowl on the shelves...

...RIGHT WHERE I WALK IN TO THE KITCHEN!

Well, okay, that IS the way into our kitchen; but who else but me actually
sees the candy taunt them with a "na, na, na na, na!"?

Yesterday, I ate several "fun size" pieces, finishing off a bag that's been
opened for weeks, but safely hidden in a cabinet.


When I walked out today and saw a whole NEW temptation...

... I said, "NO WAY!" and I haven't eaten a single one!

Good job MimawElizabeth! I love any kind of potato that passes my way. Yesterday I said no to cheesy mash potatoes at our company's town hall meeting. I was really proud of myself.

First, half of a big, complicated Carl's Jr hamburger left over from DH's lunch out. Next, ice cream (was afraid I wouldn't be able to stop at one bowl), and then all the usual temptations that rise up and smack me around when I'm craving...

(Doing okay, at least food-wise that is.)

... same as yesterday... ate measured portion of candy corn (3/4 of an ounce) and STOPPED! Didn't rationalize "indulging" in any other sweet treats, and stayed in my ranges today.

... eating out, ice cream, cookie dough, and chocolate...

It's been a rough, tempting day... but I'm on track!

... BINGING when I got home from the hospital!

I just left DH at the hospital, after taking him to the ER a few hours ago with a high fever and severe pain. He was admitted with Peritonitis (an infection in the lining of the abdomen), a common complication of Peritoneal Dialysis. His fever spiked very quickly, so I knew I had to get him to the ER immediately.

If all goes well, DH will probably be home in a few days. One good thing about living in the urban jungle of Los Angeles is the close proximity of medical care. The hospital is less than two miles away from home, and just a few blocks away from both his DD and Mom. I'll be able to easily go back and forth.

I called my SD after DH was admitted, even though it was 1am. It's never good to receive a call at that hour; but I had promised I'd keep her informed, AND that I'd be honest about her Dad's condition. Even better, DH asked me to call her then, so he's opening up and more willing to communicate.

I'll go back to the hospital in the morning, but will have to make several calls first, like canceling my day out with my friend, and to inform the Dialysis Center. Plus, DH asked me to go to his Mom's and tell her in person; she's already worries about him constantly, and this will be even more upsetting.

That means I gotta close it down and GO TO SLEEP... G' Night ~

... leftover Pizza ~ when I was looking for something different to eat for dinner, it didn't fit into my tracker for today; so I'm planning for it tomorrow instead!

... eating out at Carrow's - not even some pie, as planned!

I met the Medicare Advantage Plan rep at Carrow's to finalize my signing up for coverage. DH came along, to have a special treat for him, the prime rib dinner. I had decided I'd have a slice of pie there, after eating a small healthy dinner at home; but after looking at the dessert menu, decided I didn't want it after all.

After doing good at Thanksgiving Dinner - REALLY GOOD - I "splurged"
too much in the evening... and worse, even more over a sleepless night.

So today I climbed back on the wagon, and said "NO" to a LOT of things!
Just a few: ice cream and candy, stuffing and leftovers. I carried over a lot of the overages to today's tracker, and stuck to a very strict food plan today.

I'll do the same tomorrow, but with some leniency so I reach my minimum nutritional goals; then continue each day until my calories average out.

I feel strange... I got through one day - an important day - not easily, but so far, I'm okay. However, my emotions are confused. Am I feeling "good" about it, or am I more scared about facing tomorrow, and the next day, and the next...

Here's a question to ponder: WHY, WHY, WHY can't I remember how frustrating THIS feels, the NEXT time I want to binge?!?

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving ~ Elizabeth

I'm proud to say that I didn't eat any of the Halloween candy on the community table; there are a few pieces left but they are not my favorite so no temptation there. WooHoo!
