Yay all positive signs! Keep it up
Day 5 OA plan✅️
Day 6 OA plan✅️
Yaaaaa
I followed the dieticians meal plan today. Feeling good
Awesome. I’m proud of you keep it up!
So i allowed myself to have 2 servings of ice cream last night. Yesterday was a very emotional day. I finshed my 4th step and it was draining after i let it sink in. BUT i still considered this a huge success because normally i would go into emotional eating mode and would have ate the entire container of ice cream plus more food and ended up in a food coma. I don’t feel disgusted about it and im proud i kept it under control. I also took a walk and did an hour of meditation yesterday. I chaired a SLAA meeting and attended another one after. I have come to see recovery as being in training to deal with feelings and emotions. There are things i know i MUST avoid, but other things i have to learn to deal with.
Today’s eating has been good. Had a late lunch/ early dinner. So i missed a meal. If i get hungry I’ll snack on some celery. This has become my go to snack and i HATED celery lol.
Progress my friend
Day 8 OA plan✅️ right back on track
Day 9 OA plan✅️
8 cups of water✅️
So proud of you! Im sticking with my diet plan too. We got this
Awesome! Keep it up and Yes we do! Getting the water intake i need has helped so much. I’m not hungry or craving anything. I am going to make cauliflower crust for things as a veggie serving. Egg, cauliflower and cheese is what the recipe calls for.
Ive been eating alot of chicken and turkey. Tonight i made Mediterranean turkey stuffed peppers
Forgot to check in last night.
Day 10
Yesterday day 11 went okay. I didn’t overeat or snack on anything that I shouldn’t have I just didn’t get all of my food in. I was struggling with things and I had no appetite which is very strange usually I would devour everything in sight. Today I still don’t have much of an appetite. So that’s a good thing I also attended an OA meeting in person. There was a guy there that was talking to me and I said that I’ve been doing okay with my addictions and he laughed and he said ha ha ha she’s doing okay she says. I did not like that comment. The way he said it was very condescending and I just laughed it off and left. I know for future reference that I do not need to associate with this guy. This is a meeting that I can go to consistently because they will allow me to bring my son with me so that is a huge help. I’m very happy about this.
Dont let that ahole ruin your experience. Stick with it
Progress not perfection
Lol I’m not going to. He’s obviously not ok and just trying to make others feel the way he does.
I had my regular breakfast today and it was hatd to eat. My appetite is still not back. I think it’s because my body is still adjusting to the changes. I read it could take up to 4 weeka for my body to adjust to the veggies. I cannot eat broccoli unless it is cooked and only in small amounts. I have a feeling cauliflower is the same. I’ve been getting my water intake in.
Today is my 15th day of my OA plan. The last 4 or 5 days i have not been doing everything as directed. My stomach was not feeling good. I mostly had my breakfasts everyday. Yesterday was day that i went off the most. I had an ice cream bar and ate pepperoni and cheeae, a little more than i should have. But that was the most I’ve had in the last few days. Today I’m back on track. My stomach finally feels better. I also realized i need to cut way back on my caffeine intake. I had a major crash this weekend. I was mentally and physically drained. It threw everything out of whack. So no more espresso. Back to one cup of normal coffee a day and no caffeine after 2pm.
I’m not resetting my time because i have not completely lost control. So day 15✅️
Keep learning my friend. Progress is not always linear
Lol im learning this more everyday, but i want it to be!!!(whiney voice lol)
On a side note, I learned how to make my own cauliflower pizza crust today! It was a process, but satisfying and it tastes good!
