victories
Tuesday, December 11th 2007
Woo Hoo! I wasn't perfect today but I had some major victories with food.First, I had made snickerdoodles this weekend and knew they would be hanging around tempting me this week. So I built them into my food plan to have 2 for a snack on certain days. I had 2 this afternoon and while I wanted more, I told myself having more wouldn't increase the pleasure of the taste, only make me upset that I had too many. And really, how many would be enough? Until I was full and feeling fat and bad a...
Not much
Monday, December 10th 2007
I don't have much to say today. Wasn't sure I was going to blog at all but I figured I'd give an update. I had a good day with food
The only slip up was tonight my husband brought home gluten free pretzels, which are higher in fat and calories than the wheat kind you all can eat and consider a healthy snack (do I sound a little jealous?). I was truly hungry but I wish I'd made a better choice.And I'm feeling down about my marriage again. My husband was really, really crabby today and i...
Clarity

I have had an interesting insightful weekend.I have not been able to update until now, but I have had a moment here and there to read blogs and comment. Just not write in my own blog.
But I have to say to Sarah, I just loved your comment where you called my hubby Mr. Crabby-pants. That stuck in my head this weekend and made me laugh. I thought, maybe I'll refer to him as that when he's in a bad mood. Anyway, I did have a rough plan for how I was going to deal with the binge food, bu...
Bah!

I messed up last night and again tonight!The good thing is I am identifying what's triggering me to eat and that's an important first step. I remember when I was recoverying from bulimia a million years ago, that's that was one of the first things that helped me recover. After a binge, I would grab my notebook and write about the trigger. Soon I was able to identify the trigger before I ate and made the choice not to eat. I need to get there again so here I am to figure it out.

The scale
Wednesday, December 5th 2007
I went to the Y tonight to do my workout and I decided to weigh myself. I haven't weighed since August when I asked my hubby to hide the scale. That's a long time to be away from the scale. Back then I was tipping over 160. My clothes have gotten tighter and my face more full since then, so I was so worried that I was in the 170's. I kept telling myself, worst case scenario 175. But the reality wasn't even close to that. Are you ready? Drum roll: 164. And that was with clothes on at ni...
