Hearing Dr. Philism in my head...lol..

[Lisa M]

It's just been a long weekend.

FIL went back home to AL....woo hooo! I love the man, but I love to have my house back to 'normal'..whatever that is.

.5 pounds are history...I'm almost 1/2 way to being at my first goal; to lose 20 pounds by Sept 19th.

Water consumption has been really really good...100-140 oz a day.

Did my 30 mins of exercise for the day.

I finished my term paper, that was do today, and sent it off to the teacher...just in the nick of time.

Soooo... what's the problem? I got a phone call that just made me want to run to the fridge and gobble up something no good. Instead, I'm sitting here sweating my rear off drinking my water and typing this so this moment will pass. Ok, it's emotional "hunger" and this will pass...the sweating would be good I guess as long as it burned calories. lol! Time to turn on the A/C.

I have "feed me" thoughts. My brain is just on over drive with thinking that I need comfort food right now. I hear Dr. Phil saying, "Get over it, it's not about you!"

Off to find something to do that's not about me....lol!


If you've gotten this far thanks for reading...give yourself a high-five and drink your water.

Dr Phil never completes the sentence. It's "It's not about you...it's about what happened to you."

And what happened to you is that you started to go into a tailspin, sat down, drank a bunch of water, and reached out to people who will understand. How amazing is THAT? How healthy is THAT?

Pretty healthy. Pretty strong. Now, go take a walk and come back and post again when you're done! (even a 5 minute walk, just do it! Get the body moving!)

Congrats on all accounts, Lisa! It's not what happens, it's how we deal with it. Whether or not it feels good at the moment, you're doing GREAT today.

Re: Hearing Dr. Philism in my head...lol..

Thanks so much for understanding.
I guess I forgot about that part, "...it's what happend to you" and how you deal with it. I dealt with it today.

Dh came home for lunch, which was another great diversion Gave him a quick hair cut, buzz cut...man, that guys getting some gray hair! lol! Love it though.

Made ground chicken burgers and a salad...ranted to DH about what happened on the phone, he listened so thoughtfully and gave me the talk I needed.

Drank my water.

Went to work on cleaning out my fridge in the garage to get it ready to sell to my parents...burned some calories sweating in the non-a/c garage thinking of the cash I'll have for this weekend.

Drank more water.

And now I'm back drinking a nice glass of decare Iced Tea, because I like it, while I sit, A/C turned on and soooo very thankful to have a great support net work here.

Lisa, great job getting through it. Personally, I think you need to take the cash you get from your fridge and buy something nice (since I haven't changed sizes yet, my fav is treating myself to a new lipstick or nail polish, girly I know, but I love it.)

Re: Hearing Dr. Philism in my head...lol..

You handled yourself just fine today Lisa! Binge avoided..... wtg!

[Lisa M]

Re: Hearing Dr. Philism in my head...lol..

Thanks for helping keep me on my toes!

Yep, Sarah, I will be treating myself to something "girly" today and you've got my number on that one. I love shoes. Maybe a new pair of cha cha shoes to take on the trip will be what I need lol!

2BIG sneaking in to say woo hoo for you girl. Congrats on staying the path and not taking an emotional eating detour.

Congrats on making it through with your well thought out plan. do you have a plan B if the site was down?

[Lisa M]

Re: Hearing Dr. Philism in my head...lol..

Always 2big to bring me back to reality! lol. Plan B: well, I'm sure if the site was down I would have picked up my DANDR book and my journal and wrote 20 pages on how I was feeling. And if that didn't work, well, I would just go walking until my feet burned the rubber on my shoes...lol!

((2big)) you're my hero!

Re: Hearing Dr. Philism in my head...lol..

Gosh Thanks

I just didn't want you to have a board was down so I cheated from the frustration of trying to come to y'all with my emotional eating stress post is all.

when we switched to this software and the board was down for a day you would not beleive all the withdrawl posts afterwards. LOL and even though ther admins work hard we know sometimes the site will crash for reasons not anticipated like a server issue ort hackers or even that nasty google redirect last spring.
