Bad day...

[mcotton]

Yesterday I fell hard... I started out doing great yesterday, but it went up in smoke mid day to last night. We have had this problem festering at our house for months and I have done so well dealing. Yesterday it came to a head and I gave into food. I resorted back to my old way. Eating didn't fix the problem either. I ate ice cream, peanut butter and jelly, mash potatoes I had fixed with supper and fritos. By the time I went to bed, my hands had the shakes and I felt like I had taken some nasty drugs( actually I did it was called sugar). I had a horrible time sleeping. I woke up and felt hung over in a sense. Needless to say I am right back on track. I have done so well being on extended induction. I am not so upset that I ate what I ate yesterday as to the fact as why I ate it. Well...all being out in the open, I am going to have to exercise a little harder today.

Don't let it get you down Michele. The important thing is that you're not giving up and that you're back on track. Good for you!

Re: Bad day...

We have all had hard times and turned to food. Believe me, food was my comfort also and this is a learning process. We all have to learn how to deal with problems and figure out ways to deal with our stresses. I am so glad that you have gotten back on track and not given up! Just think of this as a learning experience, the next time you feel down and want to turn to food just remember how awful you felt afterward and that the food didn't help fix whatever problem you had, instead maybe redirect your anger/hopelessness into one of the best workouts ever. I guarantee you'll feel alot better afterward! Stick to it & remember we're there for you!

Hang in there and make it through those waves of cravings, ok? You'll be detoxing today and maybe not feeling so well, so rely on us to get you through this!

Thanks....it has been avery emotional weekend. I can't even type without crying. Between TOM on my heels and all the other stuff I just journaled, I feel like a dam is busting loose with me. I really need the encouragement. I am going to work out now. I chat with yas later today.

Thank you joann!!! After my walk with my dogs, I felt better. Sometimes I just let myself get overwhelmed. I try very hard to take my diet one day at a time and it works for me for the most part. I just need to learn not to react to the nonsense stuff I guess.
You are great support. Thank you!

This, too shall pass.

Maybe not fast enough, though.

But we're here, you're posting, and we all have excellent shoulders for you to lean on or cry against!
