| I probably should get rid of the Halloween candy in our pantry I did throw away a pound of cookie dough yesterday, plus points right? Tomorrow is our two year anniversary... I hope by next year I am at least down to my marriage weight... or LOWER preferably!! I tend to stay out of this forum because it makes me feel guilty, but I need to start coming back. I feel discouraged. This week I have been making an effort to eat at home, eat healthy, not go overboard, and I've still gained a pound. It's so frustrating. At least DH is finally getting a backbone so when I say "I don't wanna cook, let's go to Wendy's," he says "Not a chance." I want to eat veggies they just... scare me. I've found though that eating only fruit for breakfast really helps me. I feel better during the day - not sick, a little more energized, and healthier in general. I usually have a banana or two and some orange juice for breakfast. I bought a pineapple but I'm not sure how to cut it I'm thinking about doing what you've done, Tatiana - I want to get this shirt I really like in a smaller size and use that as my motivation to lose the weight. Glad things are going better for you both. texmati I can't even imagine dealing with my MIL on a daily basis - she's really nice but I still only can handle being around her once a year! |
You definitely get points for throwing away the cookie dough! Yay! Happy Anniversary. Please come and visit this thread. We don't want you to feel guilty at all. It's just nice to have company and another perspective. That is great that your hubby is supporting you by getting a backbone. About veggies, are there any that you like, or are interested in? Maybe you could just start with one type to make it less intimidating. How was the pineapple? I love pineapple, it is so good 
: Did you get the shirt in a smaller size? I can put on the jeans I bought, but they are still too tight to wear. My new goal is to wear them on 12/19.
| I can't post much... DH and I and MIL are about to go downstairs and move some of her crap out of the kitchen. It's not going to be fun... I'll post an update when I'm done. |
| It made me want to make a smart choice tonight with my eating. We're going out to dinner. I'll have sashimi if we get sushi, or a salad with protein if we go somewhere else. I can feel good about eating either one of those. Also, no alcohol and no treats. I'm holding myself accountable and I want to be able to post here tomorrow that I was successful. |

I've been spying on your siggy TatianaTiger! Congratulations! You are making super progress! And it sound like you are on track with your eating as well. You should be very very proud of yourself. (And baklava is always worth it. I wouldn't worry about that). I'm sorry that counselling is kind of rough this week. I know what it feels like when you have to give what more than your fair share. It sucks .Cleaning out the kitchen with MIL was a disaster. I don't even think I can get into it because I'm afraid that my brain will catch fire if I think about it too much. Good news is that there is now room for the new calphalon pot set the hubster and I bought this weekend. I feel kind of silly about the not eating out thing-- it is kind of arbitrary... dh was like, so we can eat on the border chips and salsa at home, but we can't eat it out? But it's nice to be actually making decisions about what I'm eating for once instead of just inhaling things without thinking. When I was loosing a lot of weight a few years back, I got to a point where I could tell every bite of food (every calorie, actually) that I put in my mouth in the last week (kind of extreame). The other extream is where I am now, where I couldnt remember what I had eaten while I was still chewing, basically. I'm hoping the no eating out thing will at least put some thinking back into my food choices. But! I'll be going on a business trip for four days next week (Mon-Thurs) where eating out will be unavoidable. So I was wanting to have another food-related challenge. Any ideas? |
Ttc is exciting
I'm averaging about 1 or 2 lbs a week. I need to remember to be patient about it coming off. It took about 9 months for me to put it on, so it also will take some time to come off.
: I was so afraid to face my feelings before, but now I know it's possible for me to face them without using food to make me feel better. At times I still get the urge, like yesterday when I wanted to stop and get some Oreos. But, it seems much more manageable now. I really don't know why, but I'm glad it is.
And squash. But most other veggies I buy go rotten because I don't know what to do with them.
:| last night I wanted to binge so bad but instead I kept telling myself "nothing tastes as good as thin feels." |
: It hasn't been horrible, but not great either. I find myself eating stuff that I don't want to eat. I'm not sure if it's out of habit or what. Starting today, I'm going to keep a food journal. I'm hoping that will help me to make smarter choices about what I'm eating.: I realize that this is the same feeling that caused me to eat and gain all the weight in the first place. This morning I had such an urge to binge and I thought, "Why do I feel this?" After thinking about it I think that my fear deep down is feeling abandoned, of losing my husband's love. The more I depend on him, the harder it would be to lose him. I think that's why I have had these feelings of wanting to binge when things are going well between us and not wanting to binge as much when things were hard between us. I'm grateful for this clarity of why I want to binge. I just know it's going to be a challenge for me to resist the binges. I'm going to have to take it hour by hour. I really need to do this for myself and eat smart. I'm so tired of feeling fat and I want to get back to where I was when DH & I got together. I really want to ttc and I'm telling myself no baby until I lose it.
with dh. I haven't been spending much time with him (my choosing). It just makes me feel better because then I don't expect anything from him and I'm not disappointed. It's really sad not to be able to count on your husband for anything
