Thank you to my buddies.
I have figured out some of my triggers. That is the key to not overdoing it hey? We just have to identify and not give in. I am a little afraid that I will give in. But next Friday, not tomorrow, I weigh in. I will aim for a good week. Nope, I am not aiming for perfection, but I sure as hell am going to give it my all. I am fighting the urges tonight. This is just where I am at. I have to avoid. I can not give in once. I have read on here often about how people just have to just stay away from the first food because it leads to more. Did not really understand because I forgot what this is like. But I remember that feeling now. Just keeping busy tonight….. a walk and some jumping in some leaves I do believe is in order…hehe
jennifer, i haven’t read your depressive blog but i understand what you are talking about. I cant’t write a lo as Iphone kicks me out of the site,sorry. Just keep going. I don’t believe in food being bad or good.. or being a trigger itself. It’s all in our minds… Emotional void we try to fill in temporarily.
A few years ago I realized that I won’t be able to erase my past, my emotional triggers, and finally relax. It’s not going to happen… I have to remain vigilant and disciplined about emotions and their connection to food, binges, and extra weight. Sucks, right? Well, yes… but I can manage, I am a big girl… And you have been managing and discovering your strenghts aml along. I believe in you Jennifer. Keep moving and smiling,
Tatiana
Oh girl, I know what you’re going through and oh boy is it HARD STUFF!! Hang in there, because I assure you, the feeling of accomplishment you will have in the end, will make the sacrifice right now seem soooooooooooooooo worth it!! I’m excited to hear your report on your run tomorrow!
When I feel needy like that in the evening I try to go to bed early. It works for me if I manage to do that. I don’t always manage…
… about half the times.
I had a not a very good evening yesterday, too. I bought bagles, seeded and wolnut rolls and I just love things like that - try not to buy them - but yesterday evening it was just before closing time and they were practically giving them away…
I had one on the way home…. then 5 before bed… they were small little things, it was a big meal but not a huge meal… but I woke up two times during the night spitting out sawdust - they made me so thirsty it completely ruined my sleep.
So that was a lesson to remember, too. I hope you don’t mind sharing my confession on your blog instead of writing my own - I feel more comfortable in your space than in mine
Many hugs. You are so inspiring. I find so much in reading about your experiences.
I love jumping in leaves! Dont; get that much in AZ. I love what you said about triggers, if you know in advance what they are, you can avoid them and save yourself alot of misery. Good Job!
