Need a kick in the rear!

Jun 12, 2010

I am a stess eater...I have always been a stress eater.  Now I am paying a small price for this and I have kicked myself in the butt to nip it!  I noticed that my pants were fitting differnt...as in snug in the bottie...and in the thighs.  So, I got on the scale and I've gained 10 pounds...yep, that's right.  How did I do this..I'll share.

Let me say that I know that if I continue donig these things I will gain back every single pound that I've lost with some extra to go along with them.  I don't want that to happen.  To be honest that scares me.  I don't want to be fat.  I want to be normal looking...

The following is what I've allowed to happen:

1.  I eat slider foods such as pretzels, chips, and crackers. 

2.  I graze on some of the sliders

3.  I taste while I'm cooking.  This can really add up to quiet a bit of food eaten at a time.

4.  I hardly ever eat "solid protein"....instead I'll have a soft food like tuna salad.

5.  I don't drink enough water.

6.  I drink too much coffee.  There have been days that I only have coffee to drink...this is BAD!!

7.  I am not taking my vitamins faithfully

8.  I skip meals and I don't have my protein shakes

9.  I tend not to spend $$ on the foods that I need especially now that the $$ is tight.

10.  I am able to eat almost anything and I hardly ever dump.  However the few times I have dumped have been very, very bad.  Including one time when I passed out.

11.  Since I've been skipping meals I've noticed I am having a hard time with my blood sugar levels.  I am starting to feel dizzy and I have shakes.  When I test my BSL is 60 and I've gotten down to 56.  I know this is not good.

12.  I don't move my big fat butt and exercise. 

So, I went out to the store.  I bought the foods that I needed.  I got out my vitamins and sat them on the microwave.  I know that I will have to battle the constipation especially since the vitamins contain iron but I have anemia....really bad anemia...I need the vitamins.  I worry about what damage I may have caused since I have not been faithful for several months.  Ive been doing better for the last four days and guess what???  I feel better.......   

My goal is to get rid of this 10 pound gain and then I'll go from there.  I'm still not wanting to be a model...LOL!!  I just want to look good for me...and I'm not sure what that's going to be...I am still a work in progress.

I'll be back for an update and I'm really going to try to not let as much time go by this time around.  Hopefully I'll be able to check in once a day with a menu and an update on my weekly weigh ins.

Off I go .....
