Hi everyone,
You ever make a food choice and think it's ok then you realize while you are eating it that it wasn't such a good choice after all?
I should have know better than to get anything from the Chinese buffet at Wegman's but because it said "Gluten Free" I was thinking, "OK, great this was made without flour." Yeah, OK, ever hear of CORN STARCH? Oh my, duh...
I could tell the moment it hit my lips that this was way too good and yeah you screwed up. No, I didn't stop eating it either. I only got a small bit and I was so darn happy with myself b/c there were veggies in there. HAHA
So back to reality and yeah, stick to whole foods like the salad bar. But beware of the dressing.
That was another mishap yesterday. I got a McDonald's grilled chicken and bacon salad with Newman's Own Ranch dressing. NOPE....not your standard 2 g carb ranch dressing as I discovered while I was eating it...It was RESTAURANT dressing...11 g of carbs!
I guess I better get my butt into gear and actually prepare something at home.
But all around it's ok because so far so good because NO binge eating today. I also drove around to figure out how far a new walking route would be so I think I will try that one on Monday.
Tomorrow night I participate in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Night the Light Walk in honor of my Mom who passed away in Feb from Leukemia. Will be a little bit hard to face my still fresh grief.
Hope everyone is doing well. Hugs! Shelly

It's all a process, isn't it? You don't know, and then you do. I'm sorry for your loss. The first year is so full of tough memories, everything so raw. (TBH certain dates or events only become painful years later, after others are processed and new-normalized.) Sometimes taking on painful things like this walk can turn out very healing, though, and what a lovely way to honor your mother.

For me bad food choices are choices that are unhealthy and even if healthy, trigger a compulsive overeating reaction. Case in point : yogourt, which is healthy, but one spoonful is never enough neither is 30. I've noticed that processed food and fast foods are often triggers of compulsive overeating. I try to stay on foods that are not from a can or a box. It's work...but it's cut out my compulsive (binge) eating completely. My problem is portions, and stress eating when working, along with an adoration of eating in front of the tv as a way to decompress. is said above by T8, it's a process of learning to know yourself, your reactions, the food we eat and getting coping skills.

If you go on google maps you can figure out mileage for walking and approximate time, if you walk a 20 minute mile, it will take too. I do this with a coworker that walks with me. Good luck and keep doing your best.
