Eating My Way Through It
I’ve been struggling with some serious blues the past few days and have been eating my way through it. Not enough to gain but enough to make me feel nasty and keep me right where I am. What am I blue about? I don’t really know. If I had to guess it would be a combination of stuff……I hate winter and snow and being cold, and life is just boring lately. I got to work, go home, work out, do laundry, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed - repeat. I mean I could have it soooooooooooooooooooo much worse believe me I know. I think we all have this misconception that loosing weight will just make us happy. Plain and simple. I have come to find out - it doesn't work that way for me. I go through spells of super happy and then life just keep ho hum again. I just have to find a way to get through the ho hum stages without eating everything in my house or at least it's essential to have restriction during those times lol.
Speaking about restriction I can't wait - 2 weeks from today, the 31st I go for a fill. I'm so wicked siked. I really want to loose another 3lbs by then and get me to my 175lb mark but loosing has proven pretty difficult without restriction so we will see. Mouth closed and keep moving that is all I have to do haha.

it happens to me as well...
wish I could help cure you...i still haven't figured it out!
Ditto re: a fill in 2 weeks! Mine is on the 29th and I CAN'T WAIT!
Lets hope it brings us both some good restriction!
living without a fill is horrible I have had one fill and feel like I have nothing in there at all. so happy fill :) good luck with that 3lbs :)
I hate that feeling of needing to eat everything in the house when I'm stressed or sad :-( Its such a hard issue. I'm in therapy for it, but I have a feeling its going to take a long time to resolve. Anyways, I think you're doing so great. And my therapist said that during those times of binge or compulsive eating, we have to make sure to especially not beat ourselves up (which is the opposite of what we usually do) - those are the times where we need to especially treat ourselves well. I am working on that too...Be good to yourself!!
Hi... I just found your blog, I had my surgery in August 2010.... I also had a few rough months. I just found this quote in SELF magazine and hope it helps :) :
When you're in the thick of it all, it can be easy to lose sight of what's important. So here's a bright idea: Rather than feel crowded by your obligations, take a deep breath, clear a space for yourself and focus on what truly matters: You're happy. You're healthy. And you're loved. Everything else is just details.
Good luck on the three pounds! The blues are not fun to deal with and in the winter they can be even worse!
