Great job, Jesile! Keep up the good work!
Belle has a very interesting coat. I’d like to see more of her when you post.I would like to see more of her when you post
I’ve been doing the same thing for about two weeks and it’s making a difference on the scales. I first started cutting “added” sugar and sweets and then I moved to not eating after 10 PM. Even though I would feel bloated, I still wanted to eat.
Good morning, I live in Spain, so I’m always a few hours ahead of you guys! But I log on several times per day! How did the evening go Sheena?
Morning! I live in the US EST. I relapsed by grazing
Less than 1 day.
I was taking a shower and suddenly I was thinking to myself, “I’m not doing as much hard work as I should be, but I’m walking 13,000 steps a day, I go for 30 minute walks every morning, I drink 64 ounces of fluid a day and I watch my portions. I’m doing almost everything right but this grazing is holding me back.”
Then I stopped everything and said to myself, “The grazing is not holding me back. I’M holding me back.” I basically had a revelation. I have to be held accountable for my actions. I need to have more love, respect and discipline for myself in order to be successful and happy.
I feel very much identified with your post! So very true! Congratulations that you had that revelation, I hope it helps you move onward in your journey! Feeling happy for you!
Thank you so much for your encouragement!
Keep us posted!! I didn’t binge, but I was hungry all day! Not real hunger, I guess it was more in my head. I had an apple and a “gazpacho” between my meals, luckily I decided for healthy options!
I totally understand where you are coming from. I get like that a lot. I think it’s called head hunger.
I’m working hard on distinguishing between the two! And resisting the temptation to eat, just because!
Day 941: No binge today. I am so proud of you all for continuing to support each other. You guys are doing amazing work. Keep it up!
Day 277 : No coffee today.
Hey guys.
I had more sweets yesterday, than I’m comfortable with. But it was my b’day and I ‘knew’ it’s going to happen. When I say ‘I knew’, I mean, I was sure I’m going to eat loads of sweets, because it will be there, available in front of my nose. Now, I also knew I could do something about it. I didn’t have to only have this thought that I know what’s going to happen and be scared and feel powerless to do anything about it. The trueth is the opposit. Because ‘I already knew’ my triggers, I could as well work on it and do something about it.
But it required too much mental effort, and so like many of us, I too have chosen the easier way of giving in.
I was good. There definitely were years when I was worse and ate like a crazy person who’s never seen sweets ever before I had the eating slightly moderated but ate still more than I’d like to. However - it was my birthday Nah, I don’t think it’s a good excuse. In my opinion, it should be the opposite - a new start, but I decided to just accept that I ate lots of sugar and not to think about it too much anymore as it’s not constructive and helpful.
So from now on, today is a new day and I didn’t gain 10kg since yesterday, so I’m all safe to eat normally today, without restrictions based on my yesterday’s action.
Love to you all! Have a lovely Thursday
Happy belated bday wishes Jana!!
Very impressed with your cardio routines,
Have a great Sober year ahead!!
This is so true!
Reset my counter this morning.
The things that need to change? I don’t currently have the courage to change them. I want results without doing the work.
I completely get it. I mean, who doesn’t want results without working? But working on it pays off in the long run. And hitting the reset button is okay. I hit it three or four times. I don’t beat myself up for it because that will just make me turn to food. You can do this!
Happy birthday Jana!! You ate more than usual, but it was a special occasion, and it doesn’t sound to me that you do this regularly… so don’t think too much about it. I hope you had a great day!
Yep, been there, done that… But just like @Sissychris39 said, as long as you keep working on it, you’re on the right path!
Holidays and birthdays are tricky, that’s for sure. Happy birthday by the way! During those days I try to just have a little bit of everything (only eat until full/satiated, like a normal meal). Easier said than done, but it’s not impossible. You got this. But don’t beat yourself up, you deserve a good birthday. And many more good birthdays in the future.
I totally missed your comment about our dog. I definitely can send more pics of her soon. When she isn’t in hyper mode of course. She likes to play and bother our other pets.
