Damn it another horrible day. It started off bad at breakfast... I could not feel full and just kept filling the bowl up with cereal and milk and reading the paper. I'm estimating it at 5 cups and then the day just toppled downhill from there.
My trigger is carbs...I just can't stop once I start.
I know it's only day 2 of this week, but I already know I'm gaining at the weigh in on monday.
Maybe instead of really getting discouraged and stopping going all together I should do the no weigh in pass so I don't weigh in and get all discouraged and just try and get my act together by next monday?
I don't know. As much as I keep saying how I need to get it together, I keep dissapointing myself.
The weight I lost is going to come all back on, as I feel that it already has and I'm so depressed that I can't stop and keep using food as my crutch.
I'm on the verge of losing my job and very unsure of myself lately. I feel so inadequate and unworthy. Food is the only thing that will take me in and not say no to me. This is so not the usual me though. Usually I am extremely self-motivated, confidant and happy.
Why can't I snap out of this?
I was doing so good last week, but that's because I wasn't working and my job was just focusing on getting healthy again. It's amazing how quickly I have fallen back into the bad habits.
Tommorrow I need to start anew again and really strive to choose healthy smart options for myself and get to the gym right after work!

First off, focus on the exercise! Don't commit to defeating yourself for the rest of the week. Pull yourself out of the hole! It will take concentration and effort, but you can do it! Make sure today -- or if not today, then tomorrow -- have your exercise be an absolute priority in your life. It will help you on all levels. It will take away appetite, make you less depressed, and will give you a rejuvenated feeling. Second, have a day or at least a half a day, starting tomorrow, with no carbs. Eat an egg or some sliced turkey or lean meat for breakfast. STAY AWAY FROM CEREAL. Throw the box away! The only cereal that I can eat that doesn't affect me badly is Fiber One. And I only allow myself that for dessert at night. If I start off in the morning with cereal, I'm done for! You can do this! Protein, exercise, and water -- and you will pull yourself out of this hole!!!!

You have some major stress, on the verge of losing your job, stress eating, you are beating yourself up big time and you are in a hole of depression. The hole of depression is a rough place to be, I understand that. I agree totally with debbra, exercise helps so much and throw that cereal out now and do not buy any more. Make a trip to the store and buy some foods that you like (NO cereal though) and work with your diet plan. You have to start somewhere. You said you are extremely motivated, confidant and happy as a rule but everything has fallen apart. You still have that in you, but it is not on the surface. Please, do not give up on yourself.

You are able to tell yourself what your strengths and weaknesses are...you can do it. My tip would be to pour ONE bowl of cereal, put the box away, and REALLY concentrate on eating...slowly...focus on how enjoyable it is and on how it is "fueling" your body...and...PUT THE PAPER AWAY...read it after you are done...you are focusing on the paper and your mind is not focusing on what/or how much you are eating...Chin up and good luck :)

The New Motto for 2009!! Start it early!!!
A Poem About Our Girlfriends
Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
The most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
The richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes~ might be lonely.
And the word says, 'If I have not Love, I am nothing.' So, again, love you.
Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say,
'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!'
'Winners make things happen~~ Losers let things happen.'
Be 'Blessed' Ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.
'To the world you might be one person, to me you are special!
SEND THIS TO YOUR FAVORITE WOMEN ~ I JUST DID!

I can totally understand the stress and job worries. 3 weeks ago, several of my coworkers lost their jobs and we are all on pins and needles. I havent been one to eat right for many years but right now with so many things in my life being out of control, I feel that what I eat is the only thing I can control even if it is REALLY hard. You can do it...just keep smiling:)
