Chocolate monster



Recommended Posts

I had so much chocolate this weekend I am so mad at myself. Felt like pre-op me again. I dont like that obeast! Why oh why??? Why did i do this?? I craved it so much though and i just gave in! It doesnt make me dump (but breadstuffs and pies does). I am so mad at myself. So afraid that i am self sabotaging myself. And i have been so good this whole time. Always eat like i should. Just struggling to get into a groove with exercise, really dont like exercise. Sigh. Just allover depressed and mad at myself and mad that i have to feel this way now i thought i was over and done with with this self-loathing after self-indulging. Just want to cry a bit and be done with this whole journey. Be at goal weight. But i am only two thirds there. Still a third to go! Oh man!

Ok OB..whats done is done. I am the biggest sugar addict I know, Literally!. I had to have LONG LONG hours of therapy to get my sugar addiction under control. Hi my name is Dee, and I am a forever recovering sugar addict.

Welcome to my world. sickening isn't it?

During my therapy sessions, and before surgery, I was made to look at my FAT self. I couldn't. whats in her future, look at it. deal with, and move on. I saw nothing in her future, no good health, no happiness. Bleak. Over and Over again I was made to see my THINNER self, what was she doing? what was she wearing? what beach was she sitting in a bathing suit? She must be in good health? she's traveling etc. All those scenerios were so I could see what was in my future. She look happy.

Listen mishaps are gonna happen, alas were human. ITS AND OLD CLICHE but get up out of the pity pantry. Be pissed at yourself, and move forward. Defeat should NOT BE IN your vocabulary. Its a bump in your road, so what!!! stand up woman..its what women do, we wallow, we cry, we get mad as hell, and we power forward. God gave is that gift for free. Move forward darling, move forward..oh dust yourself off, clean your face, and kick this bump in A$$. There's pounds to SHED!!!!!!!

I am the same way but when it comes to my moms cooking. I went home to see her this weekend. I think I did ok over all I only allowed myself to eat her home cooked Breakfast. All my other meals I prepped or made sure they were friendly. I didn't gain a pound sooo glad for that.

Keep your head up and as Dee said its a bump in the road keep working on it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
