Hey, girl!!!

I find that when making those pancakes....add the blueberries while their frozen....it seems to help a lot.

....and speaking of caving and KARMA, I have a little story for you. And it involves my cookie craving! lol Yesterday I was having a very stressful day at work. Every time I sat down to eat, someone would walk in the door GRRRRRRRRRR, which is pretty normal, but when you're on edge ANYWAY it just PISSES you off.

Well, one of my "neediest" customers came in and I remember rolling my eyes because I just didn't want to deal with anyone......you know what she said to me......and I felt like a TOTAL ASS She said Hi, T! I was just down at Walgreen's and I bought this for you. Handed me a freakin' HUGE chocolate chunk cookie! So, I'm like.....ohhhhh why did you do that, you shouldn't have done that! She says no, no, I bought one for myself and thought, I'm gonna' buy one for T too!

I spend a lot of time answering questions for this woman and she's told me about how she's been abused (ahem....she's a biker) and mistreated. I try to treat everyone as a "person" who has "feelings". So while I appreciate the good vibes coming back to me - I'M STARING AT THIS HUGE F'ING COOKIE AND I CAN'T EAT IT UNTIL SUNDAY!!!!!!! I think this is a double edged sword! lol

Well, remove head from posterior, woman! Remember what I told you before.....lots of luv to ya', babe!

Jens - it's 8.30 Friday am now, should be at work but going in a bit later today.

Love the pic, Bunns. There are some great mermaid pics out there.

So, yesterday, my food consumption was OK but macros were probably slightly off. Had lunch and dinner meetings and stuck to mostly vegetarian foods so protein was low but I feel better for it today (things are "moving" well).

AM cardio, 30 mins bike, hill profile, level 6. No evening gym due to meeting with boss

And I did have 1 glass of red wine with dinner but funnily enough I don't feel bad about it. It tasted great and I only wanted 1.

I have just read Tre's post on emotional eating and I'm in a state of shock really, I felt like I was reading about myself in most parts and my understanding of my food issues have only become more acute. This is a good thing but uncomfortable nevertheless.

I have to come clean about something that I didn't post on Wednesday. I bought some gifts for a friend, one of which was a tin of luxury chocolate coated honey candied pecans. Lovely packaging, more expensive than you would pay normally for chocolate. I even had them wrapped, ready to ship. Well after another emotional moment at work in the afternoon and without any conscious thinking, I opened them up and ate the whole lot in about 10 minutes. I didn't even think about what I was doing until they were all gone. I then spent the rest of the day in a state of guilt and lied about it (well omitted it) in my journal that night. That's why I "missed" meal 4.

I have been on antidepressants on and off for some time in my adult life. I'm on them again now (started again September 05 when I started journalling). While, I must admit, my rollercoaster emotions are steadied, losing weight is more difficult because the drugs do tend to slow the metabolism down. Hence, I eat clean, train, see minimal progress, fall off the wagon, eat, don't lose weight etc. And I'm at the bottom of that cycle right now.

I've decided, today, to go and see my doctor and discuss coming off the pills. I have to learn to do this on my own. I am strong enough.

I feel sad now. I'd better go to work

Mermaid......have you tried Wellbutrin?!?!?! It's a great appetite supressant along with a great emotional booster. When I was getting my business up and running, I was really overwhelmed. I started taking it and the fat FELL off me AND, my mental stability came back, AND I quit smoking!!!!! It's just a thought.......

Big hugs, Sweetie! (((((((((((((((((HUGGGGGGG)))))))))))))))))))))

Try to have a good day at work.

Good morning! (to you) Just got done dinner here & you just got done breakfast!! LOL

You've accomplished the 1st step!! You recognize the issue with the emotional cycle & WHY you do what you do. That is very important!! Whatever you decide to do, you have our support!!

Hang in there girl, you are doing great, but I agree that you should talk to your doctor before deciding anything. Depending on the anti-depressant, some can actually cause weight gain as well. Talking to the doctor is a good thing because there are a lot of other brands that might be just as beneficial. My thoughts are with you!

Repeat after me: Wafers are for Punkin!
I ate a whole pkt of wafers I bought for the Punkin.

Isn't wellbutrin for asthma or something like that?
My doc won't change my meds at this point, I asked her last Friday.

Sending you lots of I KNOW you can do this. And you are stronger than you know

 

[scorpiogirl]

No, Wellbutrin is for depression. BUT there is a med under a different name, I believe it's Zyban.....that is the SAME med, and THAT one is for quitting smoking. Nice how they try to trick you!
