Needs Some Support



Recommended Posts

I'm in need of some support today! I ate 2.5 cups of frozen yogurt this morning for Breakfast after a fight with my husband.. I'm ashamed and have not emotionally ate in SO long. Brings back a lot of unhappy memories... :( just need some love today!

Get up, wipe off youself and have a really good rest of the day. Track your yogurt and make some good choices for the rest of the day. Nothing you can do about it now, it is done, and you realized it and although didn't stop it, acknowledged it. Tomorrow is another day.

Yikes..... hate that! Well, it's done. I agree try to work it into your daily calories. I'd do an extra 30 on the elliptical! :blink:

Hope your day gets better!

Pick yourself up and dust yourself off. Bad choice - maybe. Life-altering? No. The best thing is that you recognized it as emotional eating. I was an emotional eater for years before I realized it! Each day brings about new choices. You have plenty of opportunity to "redeem" yourself :)

I agree with all of the above. Great job for recognizing it. now put it behind you and move forward. What's done is done. Don't look back, because you will only hate yourself and keep on doing at least that's how it happens with me. I ate ice cream and oreo Cookies. I felt myself falling back into my old habits and quickly recovered. I talk to myself and God and it really helps. So I wish you best of luck and keep us posted.

Frozen yogurt.....better than ice cream. 2.5 cups.....better than the whole container. You recognized that it was emotional eating, plus there too.... Sounds like you are starting to master this.

We are all human, we all have hiccups in our journey. Learning how to best manage those hiccups is the key and you are learning.

Continue on, talk with hubby, work things out and don't be so hard on yourself. I'm proud of you. I thing you managed the situation well. ((((hugs))))

What's done is done. Don't beat yourself up. Brush yourself off as that doesn't define you or your success and doesn't make you a failure. If you start feeling bad about it, it may make you get back into the emotional eating as well. So move on and do better the rest of the day.

If you are still stressed or upset, try going for a walk or do something with a friend to distract you from going down that path again.

Big hug!

We all have our days of habits that creep up at our vulnerable times. That is what makes us human and who we are. A new and glorious day tomorrow but also a moment to reflect on our emotional needs. Tough week for me because food is not going down so smooth this week, it's hard.

      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
