The Power of Suggestion



Recommended Posts

Confessions from a stressed out mom....

Okay...I'm NOT chewing and spitting. :-)

But last week I read countless posts about eating M&Ms, pizza and ice cream while I was sitting in my son's hospital room. (That's the stressed out mom part...my son has been in the hospital for the last 24 days.)

I'm nearly 4 months post-op and have followed my diet to the letter...until I started reading about pizza...and M&Ms. All I could think about was..."would it really be so bad if..."

And then I did it...a small bag of M&Ms from the hospital gift shop. One quarter of an ice cream sandwich late one night after I got home. And yes, even a sliver of pizza. I know better but wow...the power of suggestion...and the even stronger power of my head hunger.

I vow to do better this week.

Oh and it's really hard when the person posts here that they ate that stuff and then lost weight the next day! 0__0

That would never happen with me!

I'm sure you're not alone! Sending positive vibes for a healthy & speedy recovery for your son! I can't even imagine how stressed I'd be if it were one of my kids!

It is a shock to the pancreatic system which releases a deluge of insulin while sleeping and jump starts the metabolism. It works if you do this at most once a week after eating all week at a very low deficit. It is like jump starting your car battery when it stalls on the side of the road...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
