Trying Again....and again...

[DianaB]

It sounds like your blood sugar is going too low. Do you have a monitor to check your sugars? Try eating more cheese and meat in between meals. They sustain your blood sugar better.

Just so happens I bought some cheese sticks for snack. I think part of it too is I wait till I'm hungry and by then I'm starved. I need to eat about the same time everyday and have a small snack in between.

[DianaB]

Yes, that's what you need to do. Small protein snacks inbetween meals and foods with fiber are good too.

I've lost another pound since Diana left. I just can't believe it because I ate like crazy while she was here. I've been going out walking a bit so that may have helped some, but I didn't walk that much.. Seems I'm losing some inches because my pants are a little more loose. I'm really hoping that by next spring there will be a very VERY noticeable difference in my size.

Good for you Janet!

[DianaB]

Yay!! Great going, Janet!!

On FB we have sites locally that people sell things on. I found this ab lounger thing and bought it today..lol. It's fun right now...we'll see how it goes in a week.

I had my body analysis before starting my exercise class. The analysis showed I should lose 20 lbs, but I know that would be too much weight for me to lose and actually I'm not starting exercise class to lose weight. I just want to get into better shape and be more active. It would be nice to lose 10 lbs, and if I do, great, if not that's OK too. There are nutrition classes once a week with the exercise program, so maybe that will help.

I ate horribly today and I'm still feeling the effects. Don't know why I do that to myself. For the whole day I ate 6 iced donuts, about 10 of the Chewy chips Ahoy cookies, two pcs of left over 3 meat pizza from Little Ceasars and 3 breadsticks with cheese. How awful is that. I feel like my stomach is about to burst. Such a stupid thing to do.

Janet, I do the exact same thing. I will binge eat till I feel sick. And there are times when I just can't stop myself. And my binge eating has NOTHING to do with being stressed, sad, upset, or anything. The only thing I can sometimes attribute it to is letting myself get too hungry and then NOTHING will satisfy me for the rest of the day. It is soooo frustrating.

[Janet]

I feel some of mine is stress, but the other is just as you, letting myself get too hungry. I get busy doing something and don't want to stop to eat. I sure hope I learn....I'm gonna try to remember this awful feeling so it won't happen as often.

[DianaB]

Actually you should have three snacks a day. One in the morning.....one in the afternoon....and one in the evening. Not big heavy snacks buy light ones. A cheese stick and some grapes or fruit. I keep cheese sticks and sliced cheese on hand and that helps me. I also eat almonds. They help alot since I can't have chips.

I've been pretty good for the last couple of days......then last night after the Alley we had a meeting and our Pastor and his wife brought in ice cream and root beer!! I just had some ice cream......but I really shouldn't have. I've got to start saying NO!!!

I've still been cooking Atkkins meals since Dae Lynn left so hopefully I'll start doing better soon!!

[Janet]

I went to town yesterday and bought a few odds and ends to get me started again. Today I've done really good and recorded it all in MyFitnessPal.com. I feel like I've eaten enough, but still have a bit of the shakes, so I'm making sure I drink plenty of water. I don't like feeling hungry.

I'm not really one to snack on chips or things of that nature. My downfall is cookies, sweets, chocolate. I did buy some of the 100 calorie pack cookies again so I won't over eat them. Sure wish the next couple of days were already past so I'd be use to watching again. I am using the Ab Lounger and I really like it.

[DianaB]

I've been doing REALLY bad lately!! I tell myself every day that I need to get back on. Maybe I should just wait until Monday and make a fresh start!!

[gja1000]

I know what you mean Diana, when I get off track, it's really hard for me to get back on. I keep trying and trying too. Yesterday and today I did pretty good, but it is a constant struggle.
