madaboutmoose's Journal, 15 July 2009

Yesterday I had the blues. I'm not sure why ... unless of course the emotion of my work simply caught up to me. This morning I feel better which I expected I would. Other than waking once last night I slept soundly which I am sure helped. I'm foolishly pining away for the 170's. I am about 8 tenths of a pound up from where I was when I left for the family wedding trip, now almost 2 weeks ago. I'm not feeling down about it though, just matter-of-fact, realizing that I am in a new phase of this journey and it really is okay. Still, I keep hoping for down, down, down!!! LOL!!! Are we ever satisfied??? I find myself feeling a combination of satisfaction and dissatisfaction which maybe doesn't make any sense at all but it is how I am feeling these days. Yesterday I also wanted to eat, eat, eat!!! I found myself checking out the frozen pizzas at the grocery store, checking out the caloric count and wanting to eat an entire pizza by myself!! I did not buy one. I realized I was feeling very tired and it would not be a good idea to indulge at that moment. I did however eat cashews and drank a beer last night. My they were tasty!!! And, funny, a little bit down on Frank this morning!!! Despite the salt on the cashews!! So, on I go ... into another glorious day, another day of continuing to work at being kind to myself, accepting myself, and focusing on what is positive rather than what I do not have. I hope that each of you have a great day, of doing what you need to do to move yourself along your own path. Take care!!

Glad you're feeling better today. We all have those days sometimes where we feel down and have a tougher go of staying on course. Sounds like you did a good job of pushing through it though. The stall will give in eventually and you'll be glad you kept the faith.

I'm having many of the same feelings, right down to fighting off the pizza. :-)

Cashews and Beer...now there is a grocery list!!!! Cashews may be the one item on the planet that I have to swear off entirely...I often think that they are laced with some drug that is the addictive equivalent to heroin. If you can eat a few of them and weigh less the next day, you are my new HERO!!!

I'm laughing outloud Jim!!! I actually feel the same way about cashews. I've made the mistake in the past of buying cashews from Costco ... oh my god ... not a good idea!!! I had bought a small bag this past weekend while my husband and I were out and about that we had not opened. Thank goodness I only had 3 ounces because if there had been more I surely would have had more ... and more beer of course to wash it down!! LOL!! And Info ... perhaps there is some shift in the atmosphere ... causing us both to crave pizza!!! Hopefully today will be better ... less cravings ... more positive energy ... let's keep the faith!!!

Oh, those conflicting feelings and cravings are so familiar! You seem to have control of the situation, even with the cashews (yum!) and beer. Glad you talked yourself out of the pizza - it surely would have upset Frank!
