jhclikesshopping@gmail.com 285 Posted November 6, 2015 Morning.... I am sitting here feeling bad. I have an emotional week (too many personal things to explain) and the first thing to go to hell - my routine. For the past two days - I missed my Water, Protein and exercise. Then on my Instagram, i see this. Everyone REMEMBER!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butterfly23 423 Posted November 6, 2015 @@jhclikesshopping@gmail.com thank you for the reminder. I am also having a very tough week and am in crisis mode and was being hard on myself for not getting all the Water I need or exercising. Yet, I have not used food to cope with all the stress which I was reminded of by your post, so thank you. Best of luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lorri716 256 Posted November 9, 2015 Today is a new day. Let's all make the best of it and motor on. I personally will be retraining my brain starting with a Protein Shake and some exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 9,922 Posted November 9, 2015 Don't ever let personal challenges or issues impact your way of eating. You eat to live. Get your nutrition in. Problems will come and go. Be your own advocate and stick to your eating plan regardless of what's going on. Doing otherwise is going to mean your weight progress is always held hostage to unplanned drama.

The Candidate 3,215 Posted November 9, 2015 It's okay to have a bad day, week, or even a month. Just don't punish your body and your wls success for being human. I try and always remember how hard I had to work and fight to get to surgery. Nothing is so bad that it's worth sabotaging my future by going back now. Thanks for the quote. It's a good way of keeping us grounded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tssiemer1 549 Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) I need that reminder like everyday. I may tattoo "let it go" on my forehead. The first thing to go when I'm an emotional train wreck and a hot mess is my diet. I will either not eat for days and then binge on bad things or eat EVERYTHING in sight all day. I had my awful week last week. Im pre op and dieting before my liquid diet and I was so well and then last week I gained weight. This week in going to try to work out when I'm stressed out. Usually when I'm upset I come home from work and go straight to bed. I'm going to try to work out when I feel I need a nap. Even just taking a walk or something. Trying to implement new coping skills aside from food. Edited November 9, 2015 by Tssiemer1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
