Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003My awful day:(
I'm guilty of being really bad and I know that it is after a doc visit. I had some cruel news and I was certain I have no problems. So I "handle" it all with over-eating and I decided to come here for the CRY! I'm sad that after all this time I'm doing this bad now.I guess I'm not strong like I thought I was. My weight was down nearly 15 lbs and I think it must be back by now. glo > I'm guilty of being really bad and I know that it is after a doc visit. > I had some cruel news and I was certain I have no problems.

Has it been a week, or just one bad day? Regardless, 15 is still less than 20, or 30, or more. Thing to do now is nip it in the bud - the buck stops HERE. Don't fall into a pity party and let things slide. There are no excuses! You're responsible for what goes in your mouth - and you are responsible for how you choose to handle situations that make you feel bad. It's time to break the cycle. So, right now, this very minute, get off your a.s, go outside and take a good brisk walk. And stop putting garbage in your mouth, you know it will only make you feel worse - both physically and mentally. det > > I'm guilty of being really bad and I know that it is after a doc visit. > > I had some cruel news and I was certain I have no problems.

You always come back and you know you have our full support at any weight Gloria.

There are going to be days when things upset us. The best thing to do try to find some other way to handle these instead of turning to food. I usually turn to shopping :) Nothing makes me feel better than an afternoon in a mall with a good sale. I also find jumping into a project I've been putting off helps keep my mind off food. I did such a project over the weekend and I feel great about it. Instead of turning to the ice cream, etc I jumped in and reorganized my walk-in closet. It looks much better and I didn't gain a pound. Hope you're feeling better and back on track. Beverly I am trying to change my emotional eating habits to exercising. I feel so much better about myself after I get the endorphins going a bit. Hang in there Gloria, we've all been there one way or another. 284/226/199/175 -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net > > I'm guilty of being really bad and I know that it is after a doc visit. > > I had some cruel news and I was certain I have no problems.

It happens and chances are good you didn't actually gain 15 pounds in a day. Maybe you can find a way to get back on track. Sorry to hear about your bad news. It's tough when you've always turned to food for comfort (same here) because it feels like twice the bad. Try to find a distraction from the food and some way to deal with your bad news to see if you can turn the tide. Posting here usually is a good sign that you're aware of the situation and looking for support. It's better than hiding out.

Whatever you gained, you'll lose it straight away. I was having a PPP (personal pity party), but I'm done with it. I intend to keep losing weight and stop feeling so sorry for myself.

Gained the weight I was asked to gain and a few more and got pissed, but today was back to just the 5 extra pounds that I don't know if I'll lose or keep yet. At least my mood is 100% better. Jenn I am sorry you had bad news Gloria, I hope you can draw upon the inter strength I know you have to deal with this crisis.

But if you did, you know how to lose it. Maybe it's a good time to just stabilize at wherever you are now and give yourself some time to deal with health issues.

So I [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Well, for heaven's sake, don't go weigh yourself right now! You know darn well that you didn't eat 15 pounds worth of calories after the doc visit... you probably are retaining some fluid because you ate something with salt in it. (Hard to avoid, actually..., since so many of the things we like have sodium in.) Just relax for a bit, do something nice for yourself not connected to eating and chill out. Now, I hope the news isn't too bad, but even if it is, the only way to deal with it is to DEAL with it. Take it one step at a time, and remember that over eating won't make you healthier or stronger.

Signaturejmk in NC Glo, I'm sorry and concerned to know you've had some bad health news. Like others have said, though, you know that doing something that will make you feel twice as low in the longer run is not the answer. I'm glad you've posted here so now you can get back on track with your eating. As you often say to other people, stay close here. janice >I'm guilty of being really bad and I know that it is after a doc visit. >I had some cruel news and I was certain I have no problems.

Please remember that overeating and then working the weight off, gaining and losing weight repeatedly makes you sicker. It is very bad for you and hastens your death. Somehow or other this has got to stop. What did you overeat? What kind of food? i I ate things like SF ice cream with cool whip ! I ate a big bunch of this. After seeing my doc I got a phone call that tells me no breast cancer after all :) I had the bone scan and I need to go back to hear problems with this. I guess I'm better as I seem to face my issues with a lttle control after reading the WONDERFUL responces here! THANX everyone for this! I feel better and I'm eating normal but I'm NOT getting on the scales for now!!!! I am going to get back to my drawing pus a bit of painting. Thank you again!!!! glo > I ate things like SF ice cream with cool whip ! I ate a big bunch of > this.

Thank you again!!!! Good that they found no breast cancer... Throw away the remainder of the ice cream and cool whip and step on the scales... i I, You said I need to step onto my scales? WHY! Is it to give me back the control? glo > I, > You said I need to step onto my scales? WHY! Is it to give me back the > control? Yes, it is to give you control. Try to note, between today and, say, the day after tomorrow, if your (supposedly) newly gained weight goes away. Then you would know how much water you retain after eating. In the future you will understand your water weight issues better. i Got back on the scale and gained 2 bls but today only up 1&1/2 :) You were right i because I felt like I'm 'thin' PLUS in control ! I think if I stayed away from here that I wouldn't have stopped my compulsive eating but I would have ate a whole 1/2 gallon IC. Mine is SF plus FF so it seems like the better food to keep on hand. I just love ice cream and when I 'need' it I eat it instead of junk. Thanks EVERYONE AGAIN! I feel stronger now!! Ciao. glo > Got back on the scale and gained 2 bls but today only up 1&1/2 :) You > were right i because I felt like I'm 'thin' PLUS in control !

I wonder though, the ice cream that you mentioned is fat free and sugar free. What are its ingredients? How many calories are in one pound of that ice cream? i Ignoramus wrote: >I wonder though, the ice cream that you mentioned is fat free and >sugar free. What are its ingredients?

I think it was a wise suggestion that gave you a "reality check" so that the fear of gaining more weight didn't spiral out of control. Here's something I've learned over the past year or so about my sugar-free "treats" -- I couldn't control my intake of them any better than I did the sugar-filled stuff. I think the problem is that -- at least for me -- my body doesn't care whether the sweet taste comes from real sugar or not -- the insulin rollercoaster starts up and I cannot control the cravings or intake. Last month, I had a nasty episode with little sugarfree miniature chocolates that I've been moaning about not being able to have (they're new on the market and used to be one of my favorites in their full-sugar incarnation) -- well I told myself if I had two a day I would be OK within my nutritionist's guidelines (having read the label and splitting up the suggested servings) -- and who was I kidding? Five minutes later the entire bag was gone (there were about 10-12 candies in the bag) and I felt absolutely stupid, weak and mad at myself. And do you know what? I had to stop myself from buying them again the other day! It's not a lesson that's permanently learned, it seems. I get into this "why can't I have this like everyone else" pity party mentality, and that is the first sign of trouble. So my new weapon is to stop myself dead in my tracks and ask myself -- Mary, what is central to your eating plan? My answer (thanks to my nutritionist) is "Keeping my blood sugar levels even and avoiding insulin spikes." Then I ask myself, "And just how are these XXXXXXs going to help you achieve that goal?" Sheepish answer: "They're not." This little exchange, as dumb as it may sound, has helped me stay away from foods that do nothing but make me fat and miserable. But it takes constant, constant vigilance on my part to avoid the desire to buy and eat them. And that's a challenge that I guess I just have to accept. My thoughts are with you, Glo! Mary M 325-150-145 > Ciao. > glo >> Got back on the scale and gained 2 bls but today only up 1&1/2 :) You >> were right i because I felt like I'm 'thin' PLUS in control ! I think [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >> Ciao. >> glo Another hypothesis is that it has nothing to do with insulin and something to do with how your brain responds to sweet taste. I personally do not use any sweeteners, not just sugar. Thanks to suggestions by jmk and crafting mom, I bought "unsweetened chocolate baking squares" at Kroger supermarket. They are not sweet and contain only chocolate and some milk solid. They have a more or lesss bitter taste of chocolate. No sweetness. So they are good treats. As soon as I ate four of them in the span of three days (each is, I think, one ounce), I gained a pound of fat that I just finished working off. :) Could be related to eating other food concurrently. i 223/176/180 You know, you guys ARE correct!!! I need to get rid of those SF stuff . I find myself standing with the IC in the middle of the night NOT controlling ANYTHING! I can't use the choc SF treats either. I KNOW this but I'm still trying to except it. After a while I'll need to face this problem. After Thanksgiving I THINK I'LL do it. BTW there are 90 cals in 1/2 Cup. No fat!

It didn't even start with a craving. I just ate it. But, like an alcoholic with that first sip, That was me with refined sugar.

Do not wait until thanksgiving, throw that trash in garbage and do not look back. If it is sweetened, do not put it in your mouth. Makes life so much easier. Do not eat junk on thanksgiving either. It is as simple as that Gloria. Takes a lot less willpower to be dieting without junk and sweetened foods. i 223/176/180 > Do not wait until thanksgiving, throw that trash in garbage and do not > look back.

It's generally the holiday when a lot of time and effort is put into cooking real food. Lots of different vegetables, turkey? The thing is to not stuff yourself. Why does it have to be about excess?

Everyone right including Carol :) I will face this head on and since I ATE IC nearly all night last night I woke just ill with myself and what I did. I NEED to stop and I was without any junk today ALL DAY LONG & I just did it ! Like Nikki :) I CAN NOT handle any SF as well as sugar. I'm doing this ! I am with about 13 lbs off and I'll not stop my WOE/WOL for a stupid SF anything. I'm really like the alcoholic with sigar OR SF. Thanks AGAIN. I feel better ALREADY :) I LUV YOU GUYS. Ciao, glo Let me know when you are done with throwing that stuff away. TO me, sugarfree/sweetened is not much better than sugar. i > OK !! I'll just DO IT.

Fortunately, I was still in the store and took it back to the checker. It did take a bit of willpower though... part of me wanted to bring it home and snack on. However, I've not had any such snack foods for at least 3 months now, and truly, I don't miss them all that badly. You will feel stronger and you will survive. Find something healthier for snacking.

Cravings go away with time. i Do some people eat SF and they do fine? I think I have seen posts where SF works fine for some here. I enjoy some desserts and I have lost the extra off. I guess it was water. I get on my scales each AM. I was 269 several years ago and I lost about 100 pounds. I'm not skinny but I like that I'm one size away from what I think I want. Anyways, I still think SF is okay. glo > Do some people eat SF and they do fine? I think I have seen posts where > SF works fine for some here.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >glo Glo, I eat artificially sweetened yogurt every day with my lunch. Sometimes I have a sugar free dessert in the evening although I prefer to have real food like fresh fruits. Fortunately, I don't like ice cream anyway, so it's not a problem for me, but I use artificially sweetened chocolate drinks, etc. These form part of my calorie controlled diet and don't seem to cause me any problems. I must stress again, though, that you need to find what works for YOU - doing something because it works for someone else without analysing how it affects you is not the way to go IMO. janice >>Do some people eat SF and they do fine? I think I have seen posts where >>SF works fine for some here. [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >how it affects you is not the way to go IMO. >janice I'm with Janice. I eat artifically sweetened yogurt, and also drink diet soda. Not only that, I eat real sugar :-). But I don't have the sort of thing where either of these triggers cravings, which I gather many people do. I mean, I like sweets, and in my fat days certainly did some candy and cookie binges, but this is no different than what I might do with, say, pizza, or chips & dip. I try to avoid overdoing any of these things now. It's no harder for the sweets than for the other stuff. I just don't have any verboten foods. I've still managed to lose 90 lbs. this way.

I've been craving chocolate like crazy and trying to avoid sugar since even a small amount makes me nuts. There was a tray of chocolate chip cookes and a large fruit platter in the conference room all day long. I kept munching grapes and berries and diligently avoiding the cookies. Finally at lunch I got some sugar free chocolates and tried to stop at two pieces, putting the rest in my briefcase. After digging out 2 more pieces, I threw the rest in the garbage and thought about them all day until I was able to get home and into my running shoes. It was a very boring day and due to the situation I couldn't find stuff to distract me like I normally would. I haven't had these intense chocolate cravings for a long time, but the hormones are starting to act up again. Now I know I just can't buy those. OTOH, I can manage sugar free yogurt (frozen too) and some other sf products without going overboard. Still experimenting. Jenn 300/150 > Just went through the same thing today.

If I'm not busy in the afternoons at work I find myself hunting for something to eat. If I'm busy I can breeze through the afternoon and never think about food. It hasn't been too much of a problem lately as I've been swamped at work. Things usually slow down the last couple of weeks in December and the place if overflowing with all the usual holiday junk. I'm taking vacation starting December 16 so I'm hoping to avoid that trap this year. I'll just have to keep busy around the house. Maybe I'll do some more closet cleaning.

I can't imagine how you felt until you received that call. I'm sure the threat of breast cancer would send many of us to the nearest container of ice cream. I know I probably would :) Even if the news on the bone scan isn't perfect don't let it upset you. I learned a couple of years ago I have osteopenia (mild osteoporosis). I've been taking medication for it and the last bone scan showed improvement in some areas and a continued loss in others. My doctor changed the medication and I've started resistance weight training. I'm hoping for better test results next year. I hope it was fat free cool whip to go with that SF ice cream <G> Glad you're feeling better and the painting sounds like a great way to relax and get your mind off other things.

Hey, as long as you're having a bone scan, ask them if they can tell you your body composition! I've been wanting to go do that but it costs $50 if you don't have a doctor-authorized reason to get it done. I guess the bone scan tells you how much of your body is lean body mass and how much of that is bone... the body fat is whatever else is left! Glad to hear your health issues seem manageable again. I call them "adventures of having a body." Bill Phillips (the BFL guru) calls them "obstacles to success" and counsels us that we will ALL face obstacles. You can't avoid them. How you handle them is all that counts. Eating sugar-free ice cream seems like a fairly sane way of doing this! (I assume it was chocolate flavor... else, what's the point?) :-) -- Wendy (((((((((((((((((((((gloria)))))))))))))))))))))))))) what WONDERFUL news! Signatureread and post daily, it works! rosie in the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. ..............................dalai lama > I ate things like SF ice cream with cool whip !

I had a major scare recently, now just going through some minor scary crap. Funny, I ate some frozen ff cool whip cause it was like ice cream. I found it very comforting and only 375 calories in the entire container which beats a pint of ice cream that would have made me pretty sick. It stopped me from going out and buying junk food so all in all it wasn't the worst thing I've done lately :) I also ate some sf chocolate for the first time and it wasn't all bad. I was more sick from salty chinese food than anything else I had over the weekend. I spent a few days off of the scale because I was out of town and it wasn't a bad thing, but getting back on did help me get back on track. If you're eating is under control then I don't see why you have to jump on the scale right away if you're not ready to do so - maybe go to once a week weighing. Jenn |
