Givin' up the ice cream



Recommended Posts

Well, I had to twist DH's arm to NOT buy any more ice cream. So, ice cream is gone...sherbet is gone and there is no more junk food in the house.

He said he was tempted to buy it, but didn't. :thumbup: So, yes! Today is a better day!

Sadly, a huge bag of almonds is in my freezer (I hid them there in the hopes that my forgetfulness will allow them to be hidden - huh, right!), a huge bag of pecans is in the baking cupboard, along with a bag of walnuts. The pistachio's and peanuts are similarly lurking....

My house is one big dangerzone...Resist, resist, resist...

Hm...I'm thinking if I hide the ice cream in the cupboard, that would solve my problems with actually eating it.

Tap - have you considered N/A (Nuts Anonymous?)

Step One - Admit you have a nut problem.

Step Two....

:thumbup: Your strategy for the ice cream WOULD work...but only if you allowed your personal demon back into the house. But as you have purged your home it won't be a problem anymore, right??? Why do I get a mental image of your husband's arms resembling rotini from all the arm twisting that is in his future???

LOL! Yeah, poor guy.

I told him there's nothing wrong w/running out on the weekend, or that kind of thing, but having it in the house is BAD.

One time we had Oreos and I think I ate them all in one weekend. He sat down on that Sunday night to eat some and opened the package to reveal 2 left. He said, "I didn't get any of these."

I was like, "Duh...told you not to buy it." He's a big guy, but it's from 2nd / 3rd helpings of real food.

My fatness came from junk food. It's definitely something I've been fighting, and will win - eventually.

Can you hear them??? They are calling to me.....it's 740 at night, I just ate a slice of melon to try and beat the cravings/silence the voices in my head. But still the nuts are calling: we miss you; we are here - high in Protein and good for you (#$@%$##$ they know which buttons to push)

Make them stop!!!!!!

I'm so glad you posted this. I had plans to finish off the ice cream tonight. Thought about posting here in an attempt to resist and then said "Nope, I'm gonna eat it." Now I've said it, maybe I can resist it. I can do it! Though there's a big part of me that just wants to get it out of my house.

Yeah, having the substance out of the house is a help when resistence is low (although not a guarantee Tap sagely says knowing the quick trip to the store that can be done....). But if I were to throw out all the nuts I'd waste a blessed fortune at the price of nuts! So, I am just going to have to resist them. 2 nights down, only 4 more to go!

How sad is that, that I am counting down days until I allow myself something to eat? This is not good, but perhaps the 'completely forgetting/obsessing about food' mind-set will come in time.

Okay, I'm ready to get on this now. The chocolate chips are gone from the house. Not one minty morsel of refreshing coolness left. Yep, I failed to resist it. But I have learned from it. I definitely can't have that stuff in the house yet. I feel totally able to do it now even though there are two other ice creams in there.

You can do it, Tap! :biggrin:

We can do this. Repeat: We can do this.

I just have to chant that to myself until "The Voices" go away.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
