Bad Choices, Feel Awful!



Recommended Posts

Yesterday started ok, I had a dr appt in the morning so I missed Breakfast and when I got home I had a salad in a wrap. It was my husbands birthday and the entire family went to Joe's Crab Shack, I got a meal and brought most of it home. I did have a piece of cake with my family when we got home, my son wanted to sing happy birthday so I indulged!

Today, the same thing... early start so no breakfast, lunch was spent at the grocery store (buying good foods for the house, so I have plenty to choose from for my meals) I had left over crab for lunch too.

Then I made some fresh eggplant caponata for a bbq tomorrow, tasted that, but ate a bunch of crackers!!

dinner consisted of fresh made Asian chicken burgers, they were slider size, I ate 2, with no bun and some broccoli!

I tasted more cake tonight.. shame and ate more crackers tonight! UGH! I feel awful.

Way too much food for the past few days, even though I didnt hit my calorie intake or my Protein intake. I feel so full! and I did not get in any exercise other than running errands!

Sorry for the complaining, I feel just horrible. I have cravings and I just want to eat even though I am not hungry. I still have no restriction, I see the doc on Wednesday. I hope to start the restriction process soon.

Hey, its no shame to have a bit of cake ! lots of people do ! i have a little treat everyday and include it in my daily log on myfitnesspal.com. ( chocolate should be one of the 4 basic food groups ) As far as breakfast goes, i have to have breakfast everday or im horribly cranky with low blood sugar. since i dont have time to sit down and eat a proper breakfast, i fill up several baggies each week with raw almonds, turkey Jerky and a half a Protein Bar. that way when i run out the door i can just grab a baggie, and maybe a yogurt or a Boost Protein Drink too. (I also keep a baggie in my purse ) It saves me from a Mcdonalds breakfast etc. Try making up some baggies or tupperware with your favorite healthy Snacks for those rushed mornings. Celery and pb, apples and almonds, Protein Bars, breakfast Cookies (from Taste of Home website) etc....... good luck !!!

Don't worry! We all have those days or multiple days! ;) I used to be on birth control years ago, but then I think I started to reject them because I would have the worst mood swings and the worst cravings for EVERYTHING. I have been off BC for about 2 years, but had to get back on again because of ovarian cysts. Doc put me on lowest dose and still was craving everything you could think of. Greasy and sweets. I felt like crap, so I got off the BC and cravings went away for the most part. But even still I have a craving and I usually fulfil it! ;) it happens.

Are you exercising? That can help off set a less than perfect food choice. Also - probably not a good idea to have leftover cake in your house. I know I couldn't have junk food in my house and have the willpower to resist it. Treat yourself, enjoy it, and move on! Tomorrow is a new start.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
