Today I Want...bread Preferably Covered In Cheese

All of a sudden I am so freaking hungry when for most of the day I wasn't hungry at all. It started when I went outside with my boys to fix up their slip n slide. I was sitting there and I wasn't feeling well and I thought ok eat a bit of protein and a tiny carb and all will be well. So I did that but did that fix it...nope. Still sitting here obsessing in my head about cheese covered bread of all things. I know I'm not banded yet, but it's so important to me personally to do good on this lifestyle change. And most days I do well, and keep it around 1000 calories, low carb, low fat. Today I wasn't hungry much but I ate a bit to keep the metabolism going and was doing well with that.

 

Now I ask myself what the trigger is? I'm not stressed, I had a good day, I hung out with my 3 yr old who I have to say is a wonderful boy. My 5 yr old came home from summer school excited to go swimming tomorrow. I set up the freaking slip n slide by myself Hooray!

 

And then I realized that the only thing different about today was that as soon as I walked in the door my best friend called me. Yup the one that I've already blogged about. The one that I'm having issues with, but find myself in a position where I don't know what to do about her or our friendship. That was my trigger today to eat like a nut job, and make it as fattening as I possibly could.

 

But I want to say thanks to this forum and all you banded and on the way to be banded. I actually recognized a trigger before I went gung ho with the junk and stuffed it in my face. Now maybe I can talk to my fiancee about it and calm down so that I can eat a normal dinner!

Well I ate my 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce with lean ground turkey, added 1/2 cup of 1% cottage cheese and ok'd myself to have 1 piece of bread, no cheese. And I'm good. I even talked to my trigger/friend and we both felt a lot better. She felt bad that just her calling me sent me into a food spiral. She actually called to tell me that she is a sucky friend and I am free to punch her in the face lol if I need to. So one less anxiety-ridden situation in my life! And I dealt with it without resorting to cheese or half a pan of brownies....
