I Did Something Very Stupid Today



Recommended Posts

I work for myself, and sometimes that means really long days. This morning I headed out thinking I'd eat my Protein Bar from my purse for Breakfast. Whoops, no Protein Bar. I was crazy busy and stopped for Water a couple of times, but didn't find anything at either stop that I felt okay with eating. At 2pm, I had some family crap come up (you know how it goes) that left me pretty upset and food went out of my head totally.

By 5:30, I was home and I was a blubbering, ready to keel over and die, practically suicidal, mess. It wasn't until 7pm that I realized I hadn't eaten all day. By then, I could barely manage half a piece of chicken. However, once it kicked in, I started feeling like ME again.

Moral of the story: ALWAYS stick to your schedule and eat. I discovered today that, although I don't feel hunger, I am totally insane when I don't fuel my body. Shame on me for letting it happen.

I have re-stocked my protein bar supply in my purse.

So glad you were able to choke down the chicken. I've felt like this both before and after surgery, and you're are right, the best thing you can do is to fuel your body. Glad you are back in action!

So sorry Lissa!

I do get hungry, but if I'm busy sometimes I ignore it and it goes away quick. Thank goodness I haven't gone all day yet. Glad you are back on an even keel and thanks for the warning! I'm nuts enough without throwing anything extra in the mix :-)

I was so far behind today that I didn't even turn on my coffee maker! :) I do add Protein Powder to my Decaf coffee usually. I now have an emergency supply of Protein Bars and a partial can of Click in the car for days like today. Here's hoping I don't have to use it anytime soon! :)

I was going to ask the same thing but I found it. It is a brand of coffee flavored Protein drinks. http://drinkclick.com/

Something similar happened to me today. I had my shake for Breakfast and then I went to work. I got in my car around 4pm and realized I didn't have anything for lunch. And I barely drank anything. I rushed home and ate a sugar free Popsicle and a string cheese stick. :/

Does Click have caffeine? The website sounded like it did and I didn't see a Decaf option. Did I miss it? I have to be on decaf for awhile, maybe forever....I can't remember.....sigh.....

I'm sorry you had a terrible day. You're right though, you need to focus on getting your Protein in above all. Take care of yourself. Great idea to put an emergency supply in the car and you're purse.

Hope tomorrow is better.

      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.
