I was bad!



Recommended Posts

Today I was so bad! I took my som to a fast food place with a playground as a reward for being good at the dentist. I really only antes a snck and prob would have been satisfied with just a diet lenmonade but I orders food instead. I feel so guilty! I have been so food and I feel like today I totally screwed up! I ate fries and chicken. Not a whole meal, prob just half, but I still feel so down about it. This is totally the thing that got me here in the feat plaace and here I am at it again. Goingto try not to eat te rest of te day.

Don't beat yourself up. You need to know that once in a while ( not often) you can do those things. You can't totally deprive you self of stuff. Could you have made better choices, probably but you just got to make sure you don't make a habit out of it. If it really bothers you, go for an extra long walk or work out an extra 20 minutes. I have bad days once in a while, and I guess I do feel guilty about it too, but I just start over the next day and let it go! Good luck on your journey!

First of all, you have not been bad. You made a decision that was probably not the best, but life got in the way. It will happen, now and for the rest of your life. Journal your food intact, find out what your caloric intact is for today, make adjustments for the rest of the day, workout, or play really hard with your son (it'd probably make you feel better, and he would be super happy for the extra play time). Please don't starve yourself the rest of the day, just make better decisions for the rest of the day. This is a lifelong commitment and you will make the same one again one day. Take this not one day at a time, but one hour at a time. If you beat yourself up, you will feel worse, and if your anything like me, say to hell with it and eat everything in sight.

Hang in there! We have a long long time to make better food choices. Gotta have a treat every now and then.

good luck,

Crystal

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
