    pfisher got a reaction from Little Green in Struggling at the moment, the last few days have been pretty bad. Feeling frustrated   
    Hi...
    Isn't is something how we can let some poor choices dictate so much sometimes? I've spent countless hours beating myself up over having a brownie instead of fruit. Which led to thinking that eating healthy wasn't something I could do, so why bother? And that's how I ended up being so miserable at my highest weight.
    As I journey toward sleeve surgery, I'm working hard on not beating myself up when I fall. I decide that the next diet choice or exercise moment will be a healthy one. Then I follow through. And my husband keeps me accountable. Knowing he will ask how I worked off that brownie keeps me honest.
    Keep making healthy decisions, forgive yourself when you slip, and don't look back. Keep moving toward the goals you've set for yourself.

    Thank you all so much for the encouragement. I think I know the source of my emotions, a court date tomorrow (now today) regarding the legal status of the person who struck my husband with her car last year causing his disabilities. This has been causing a lot of stress for weeks but this week as it's gotten closer we've been quite anxious. Really, I don't even really want the foods, I haven't been having cravings since starting the protein-focused diet. It's more of a mix of self-soothing and self-sabotage which is a weird combo to explain. I missed my appt with my therapist due to my knee issues and I won't get to see her until August 10 unless I can find an appt next Mon or Tues because we're going out of town Weds. I hope I can see her! And also if we get a good result tomorrow I will hopefully be feeling less stress. If a bad result I'll definitely have to find a way to see my therapist! Anyway, sorry for rambling, took a percocet for the knee pain LOL and it makes me emotional and even more talkative than usual. @pfisher you really nailed the mindset I am trying to practice as well. I loved your comment, you worded it perfectly. Thank you so much for taking time to comment. I appreciate all of you!

    pfisher reacted to Newme17 in Does anyone purposely go to bed hungry or do you eat if you're hungry right at bedtim   
    Thank you all for your responses. When I think about why I was hungry last night, I realized that all I ate were veggies for dinner. Sure, a bit of cashews, but nothing that would keep me for a few hours at least. So, poor choice on my part. I'll have to work on that. I think I'll stick to not eating before going to bed, BUT I will make sure I have something protein-filling around 7 or 8pm, so I won't be super hungry like I was last night. I did wake up this morning very hungry, so I ate a scrambled egg about 6:30 am! I usually don't eat till nearly 10.
    Still working out the kinks of this new stomach, so...thank you again for your inputs. I'll surely use them.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the beans! I absolutely love them and they are sort of a miracle food... protein and fiber plus help protect us against disease and cancer. Don't worry about posting something "negative," it helps us preoppers a lot to know the struggles! I saw a bariatric cookbook on Amazon I am thinking about getting, "Fresh Start Bariatric Cookbook: Healthy Recipes to Enjoy Favorite Foods After Weight-Loss Surgery" by Sarah Kent MS RDN CD. Maybe checking out some bariatric websites or cookbooks might inspire you to make something tasty other than just low-fat dairy! Good luck and thanks for posting

    It is wise to live your life quietly (no drama) so others may take notice of the good in you. (There's a lovely scripture about that somewhere). 😊
