Sadness and eating
July 23, 2007
All of my good days have been voided by bad days. I’m no closer to losing those extra three pounds than I was last Thursday. I don’t like being stuck with “At least I’m not gaining” thoughts, but they’re kind of all I have.
On the exercise front, I tried The Firm Yoga (eh, C+), and most of the beginner workout by Bob Harper (solid A, my legs were burning!), but that’s about it. My On Demand options reset today and I will get a whole new set of workouts to try (I hope.)
I wish my anxiety didn’t lead to emotional eating for me–which generally only happens during the pre-anxiety stage by the way. I’ve been nervous all weekend about a series of ultrasounds I will have this afternoon and eating like a fiend, but this morning I feel too nauseous.
Speaking of which, if you could pray for or think of me, around 1:00 this afternoon, I’d owe you.

i’m praying for you in all directions of time.
ahh.. the whole “all of my good days have been voided by bad days” - boy is that a familiar sentiment for me. i once lost 70lbs through diet and exerience and was frustrated because i couldn’t lose 5 more lbs. I’d try to “be positive” and say, “well, at least i’m not gaining..” and before you know it.. i gained back about twice what i lost! so, take it from me.. even though it doesn’t feel like it now, the whole “AT LEAST i’m not gaining is big, big, BIG!!!” look at how far you’ve come.. and trust that the weight will come off… you’re body’s made it this far already. really = let it sink it how unbelievably amazing your transformation has been this far..
sorry if i am sounding like i’m preaching, or lecturing, or giving unsolicited advice… it’s just that i can identify with part of your post and i remember when i was there and i know that i wish i could go back in time and tell myself all of this…
