OK so here I am, 3 or so months past the hoidays when I practically ruined myself...and I am still in a holding pattern of somewhere between 216 and 222. WTF?
Then, last night I was watching TV and I had an AHA moment, a revelation...(key up the choir here)...lol
A commercial came on and it was for Chilis food chain....there were pics of burgers and all kinds of yummy fattening foods and everything, I mean EVERYTHING they showed on the commercials, I can not eat because of my band and I know I would PB. So I got to thinking about it...I am gaining weight (maintaining this higher weight) on the same 2 bad food choices that slide down the pipes....cookies and ice cream. NOT a variety of loads of wonderful fattening food, but the SAME 2 FOODS. Not even exciting to me anymore to tell the truth. So the only conclusion I come to is I must be retarded...I am standing in my way of my own success by cheating with the same things over & over again?!! It wasn't even FUN gaining some of this weight back. Oh at first it tasted good and I was like YUM YUM :thumbup:....now, I am just like purposely hurting myself and I just don't get it. Are you kidding me? So, now, what to do? Seems like now that I know I am doing stupid things I can just stop, right? :confused: Seems to me the first step is getting rid of those 2 evils. That is what I am going to do. Wish me luck because right now I am at the crucial point. Things will either go extremely right or extremely wrong from here. I am an emotional wreck. So, if you are reading this, pray for me...I need it. I need my mind to heal and I need to forgive myself for regaining some weight and start over. I will let you know what happens. I know I can not do it alone but sometimes I feel like I have burdened enough people with my dieting (or lack of it). Jesus help me.
PS to the newbies...no disrespect, but please spare me your views on the subject...no I do not need a fill. For you all I can say is remember the band is a tool, not a cure. Best of luck!!
