LadyinDenim's Journal, 30 June 2016

I did not want to post this weight. There is certainly a feeling of embarrassment that comes along with the admission that my food choices were based on what I WANTED and not what I needed.

Technically, I stayed within the rules of my own game. No sucrose, no GMOs, and eating only on odd days. 28 ounces of high quality corn chips in a week's time were crunchy and delicious and enjoyable. I think I will leave them in the grocery store for awhile, though.

While I was eating corn chips, I wasn't eating green leafies or sulfur rich veg. I wasn't eating eggs. I loved my salads and I loved my veg, so why did I abandon them? So easy to grab food from a bag or jar. Just open and eat. Well, open, weigh, and eat.

Yesterday, I was on a mission to clear out the food hubby won't eat, so I finished off the pinto beans and chicken gizzards. I was acutely aware I ate greater volume of food than I needed because I felt uncomfortably full. I was thinking, "This is my last day to really eat, because I work the next two eating days before starting the 5 day fast."

Translation: This is my last day to binge.

@ Lady...I had the same kind of day yesterday...didn't record my weight yet today...but it jumped up 3 pounds. I had a "few" drinks and then a couple of burgers WITH the bun...I didn't wake up feeling frumpy or anything...I actually woke up feeling pretty good! Not even a guilty feeling, cuz I know that I can lose those few pounds easily. Today will be a stricter day..but an easy day.... You and I follow the trends pretty closely... I think we should both stay positive about this... I am not getting down on myself or thinking I failed. I don't think you should either! We can do this!!!

Guilt trips are dangerous in their own right. They can lead to "all or nothing" thinking. Once you go down that road, it's really hard to get back on track.

I've often wondered how attracted I would be to salt-free chips - not very, I expect. I bet more than half of that "gain" is from salt. You've got this!

BTW thanks for reminding me about Butter Bob - I'd only seen his original video in the past. I really enjoyed the 50% Insulin Solution.

The ONLY thing that saves me from the chips is I'm allergic to corn and have a very uncomfortable intestinal reaction that can last for days or I would be right there with you. The last time I put on weight it was eating a plate of nachos a day. No shame. Learn and move on. {{{HUGS}}}

Thanks, mama ☺ @trackin, the 50% Insulin Solution was really eye opening. I think it's a good start to his vids, the next being the shopping one.

Another thing that's helped me so much is no matter what I do wrong, the very next meal I get back on plan. I used to think, "Oh well, I blew this day I'll start again tomorrow" and would proceed to continue blowing it for the rest of the day. (Dumb huh?!) The next bite and everyone thereafter is an opportunity to restore my self control.

You're on to something, there. Having a plan is essential. If I planned my meals, so I wouldn't be staring in the open fridge like a slack jawed teenager. There WAS no salad to eat because I didn't BUY it!

Boy am I with you on that one. I try to plan out my day in the morning and will put the food into my FS so I see where I need to be at each meal, then just change the food out if I change my mind. Too often if I slack off I "forget" that I ate food and go over what I should. Because I work at a computer most of the day it's fairly easy to make sure I log it in.
