Michelle's Accountability Thread



Recommended Posts

I am officially starting my "Back on Track" plan tomorrow. But wanted to post all my bad habits so that I could remind myself what "not" to be doing.laugh.gif

1) I've been forgetting Breakfast, or grabbing sugary carbs to eat on the run.

Fix: Set out Protein Shake and sliced fruit to grab on the go. No more sodas from the gas station.

2) Snacking on carby crap. NO MORE. I will pack and bring my meals to work, errands, etc. Protein first then fresh sliced veggies (I can't stand mushy veggies.)

3) My worst habit of all....Snacking in bed at night while watching tv. I am going back to just sipping herbal "Sleepy Time " Tea while in bed. Or, I will get up and fold clothes while watching my nightly show.

Okay, this is my list of dirty secrets. LOL

Oh yeah... 4) I have not been exercising one bit. I am going to start using that gym membership I pay for every month.sad.gif

Yes you can do it, and welcome aboard!

I think knowing our downfalls can only be a good thing in helping avoid them!

Good luck.

Today was a much better day as far as eating goes. I haven't had any soda, and only one carby snack. Not a bad start. I have been trying to keep busy, to quell my urge to snack out of boredom.

I am down 2 lbs this morning, which Im pretty sure is Water weight.rolleyes.gif

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
