The Power of Suggestion

[nursepez 152]

Confessions from a stressed out mom....

Okay...I'm NOT chewing and spitting. :-)

But last week I read countless posts about eating M&Ms, pizza and ice cream while I was sitting in my son's hospital room. (That's the stressed out mom part...my son has been in the hospital for the last 24 days.)

I'm nearly 4 months post-op and have followed my diet to the letter...until I started reading about pizza...and M&Ms. All I could think about was..."would it really be so bad if..."

And then I did it...a small bag of M&Ms from the hospital gift shop. One quarter of an ice cream sandwich late one night after I got home. And yes, even a sliver of pizza. I know better but wow...the power of suggestion...and the even stronger power of my head hunger.

I vow to do better this week.

Oh and it's really hard when the person posts here that they ate that stuff and then lost weight the next day! 0__0

That would never happen with me!

I'm sure you're not alone! Sending positive vibes for a healthy & speedy recovery for your son! I can't even imagine how stressed I'd be if it were one of my kids!

It is a shock to the pancreatic system which releases a deluge of insulin while sleeping and jump starts the metabolism. It works if you do this at most once a week after eating all week at a very low deficit. It is like jump starting your car battery when it stalls on the side of the road...

Hehehe .. I know! I'm drinking a Protein Shake,

eyeballing the treadmill that I need to walk on, to know that tomorrow my weight will be the same as today!

Stupid m&ms and losing weight crap!
