I made really bad choices



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I made bad choices most of the day. I ate to much for dinner. Had a really bad snack an hour before bed and choose junk 3 separate times during my day. I woke up this morning feeling like crap yet again. Why do I keep doing this to myself.

Today is a new day and I am going to try to have a better day then yesterday. I'm down in the dumps.

Can I make a suggestion? I've seen via your posts, that you are struggling with your weight and getting back on track, etc. You have been doing well and then yesterday, seemed to once again sabotage yourself. Would you consider seeing a professional to try to get to the heart of why you are struggling so much? We all have issues with food. It's why we got to where we are. Maybe you can find out why your behaviors trip you up. If you can get this under control, the weight struggle would either cease, or at least become manageable. Anyway, just a suggestion. If that's not going to work for you, let us help you as much as we can by supporting you.

Yesterday is just that. It's the past. Today is a new day so try and think of tomorrow as a gift. Everyone backslides so don't worry. It's the destination you need to keep in mind, not the little stumbling blocks along the way. Maybe a tiny fill would be the ticket. GOOD LUCK!

Even people that are not overweight have days when they don't make the best food choices. My sister has been thin her whole life, she also a devoted runner. She eats healthy most of the time but does allow splurges every once and a while. I know I am going to also struggle and have a splurge and I am trying not to beat myself up over it when it happens. My struggle like you is getting myself back on track when I "slip up". I am going to start to try and not think of these as slip ups any more, we are human beings and will have an occasional off day from our nutrition and excerise. What I am batteling is to not let one day of bad choices turn into months, weeks, years, of eating like I am never going to see a piece of fried chicken or cake again. God gave me this wonderful body and I am doing my best to care for it and make myself healthy and strong. It is not easy but with his grace and support from each other we can do it!

AMEN!!!! Don't we all do that? 'Since I ate crap today what's "one more" day gonna hurt?' ....and then the next...then the next.... Is it human nature? Or just bad habits that's so natural to us big people?

I copied a quote today from a completely unrelated sight that I'm gonna put up somewhere in my bathroom cuz I think it pertains to this and all things in our lives....

Stop trying to hold onto the past. – You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last.

We gotta stop beating ourselves up for things in the past! Forgive ourselves and move on!! Good luck nailpro I'm starting all over with u.

      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.
