08willbegreat's Journal, 16 Apr 08

I've been bad..and I don't even have a reason!

ok, i'm slowly letting myself go down the path of self-destruction, and have to pull myself back before it's too late! I even wanted to evade journaling so as to completely avoid stuff, but am forcing myself to write...Here're the confession-points:
1) didn't wake up at 6 am--again!
2) didn't work out in the morning,
2)Breakfast was fine, and lunch would have been fine too--but wanted to go grab a spoon for my lunch, and instead got tempted into buying the pizza at the work-cafeteria,
3)and ate this pizza--instead of my healthy, homemade lentil soup,
4) thought I'd come home and workout--even changed into my gym clothes to do so--but then I sat down to check email, and then later to get some work done, and promised to go to the gym AFTER that, and then had dinner, so thought I'd go two hours later, and now it's 11 pm--and I still haven't gone--so it's too late to do so now!
5) On top of that, even though I had reached full points for today, and even though I wasn't really hungry, I grabbed a healthy choice icecream bar from my freezer at 10 pm!! Too late to be eating anything!

Ok, so that's the list...I'm a little nervous that I'm not even gonna try to salvage the situation at this point, as I have so many damaging situations coming up, that I'm thinking, why even bother to try?! For instance, tomorrow at lunch we have more pizza being served; in the evening I have a winetasting/cheese thing to go to; and day after tomorrow I have dinner plans in the evening...so on saturday, I should not even expect to see a loss!!

On the other hand, I can keep a good control from this point on--and even if I don't see a loss, I should still be able to prevent a gain! But how?! I still have to go to the wine-thing tomorrow, and the dinner-thing on Fri---and no matter how carefully I select, I'll definitely see a gain on Sat morning! I can't even decide anything now...I'll sleep on it, wake up early and work out, and let the day work itself out...

Today's meals:
Breakfast: cereal and soy milk (3)
1 rice cake (1)
snack: 1 coffee with cream (1), and 1 string cheese (2), edamame (0.5)
Lunch: an 8-inch, thin crust margarita pizza (12?), coffee with cream (1)
Dinner: lentil soup (2), and 2 rice cakes (2),
post-dinner: healthy choice icecream (2)

Total points: 26.5 (and today was supposed to be a very low point day!!)

I'm out of control!!!! And getting harder to get back on the horse!

I'm sorry you are feeling so frustrated and overwhelmed. I don't think it was THAT bad. I don't think you are a wild and out of control woman. I don't think that one day and one day is going to ruin all of your good efforts. With your upcoming eating 'events' you just have to take it one day at a time, one meal at a time, one bite at a time. It's about having a net deficit over time, not necessairly during each 24 hour period. I am very interested to explore the 'splurge' method of shaking the metabolism out of starvaton mode. I was worried yesterday that I wasn't eating enough calories! I know, poor me. Just relax :D Be nice to yourself! Give yourself credit for all of the good that you are doing!!!!

I think it's great that you went forward and filled in your journal. To me that's a good sign that you want accountability. I don't want to minimize what you felt was really bad But objectively speaking it wasn't horrible. Today is a new day. make some good choices. You can do it-you've done it before.

You can do this, you know how to plan ahead. Good for you for journaling. That is why you are here. YOur past journals show you that it can be done. You'll be just fine. Have a great day!

Sometimes this journey of weight loss just sucks. Even though I don't think you did any great damage for the day, I know your mind can make it seem like you did. You aren't alone in that department. We've all been there, too. So how do you get out of this funk? Well, from my objective view, I see you are struggling to fit your gym time in. Would it help you to get up in the morning if you set up your alarm clock across the bedroom rather beside the bed? If you have a wake to the radio feature, crank it up real loud so you won't be tempted to just lay in bed and listen to it. Have your gym gear all ready to go the night before. I am sure that if you can get your workouts in first thing, you will feel better and it will set the tone for the rest of your day. I'm giving you a cyber-kick in the pants! You can snap out of this! Don't give up on yourself! Get back on that horse! *hugs*
