tanked yesterday, better today

i had a very weak day yesterday. i made bad food choices and basically didnt give a shit while i did it. until the end of the day when i felt guilty as all get out! i was blaming it on it being that time of the month. but i cant do that! that cannot be my excuse to screw up here and there. it just cant be.

i did manage to get in a short walk last night after work. it wasnt very long, but still, something is better then nothing. and i did feel better afterwards.

today i am doing much better. made all great choices...low carbin it to try and curb check these cravings i fed like no other yesterday. and i am good. i feel good. besides this dang headache!

i guess i just needed to post to keep myself motivated. sorry to post w/ nothing interesting or anything.

You've already done this, but I'll say it anyway. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and let yesterday go. You can't do anything about it now, and today is a new day. We've all had those days.

Your headache is probably carb withdrawl, and will go away on it's own. Hang in there girl!

or does the good food items have a harder time going down than the bad food items. I know I can't live on beef jerkey and oatmeal but they are the only things that don't make me feel bad when I eat them.

This may sound crazy, but you may be too tight. I have found that the tighter my band the less healthy stuff I could eat. I have had to have 2 partial unfills because I couldn't handle eating CRAP foods just so that I could eat something. I have also found that when I am looser but able to eat nutritionally dense foods that I stay fuller much longer and don't have as many cravings trigged by CRAP foods. Just my 2 cents.

funny how that works, but i agree. once in a while it works the other way, something i figure will go down just fine gets stuck and hurts like hell and then something i figure will get stuck goes down just fine. gotta love the unpredictibility i have sometimes.

i have found though, that no matter what, tuna fish is a BIG freakin NO!! dont even attempt unless i want to die for the next hour or two (no joke). even the smallest bite kills. and yet most times chicken breast goes down. and i stress most times as it too has been known to attempt to take my life.

Thanks for the advice. I am moving to New ORleans from Sarasota,Fl and wanted to make sure it was tight in case I have a hard time finding a fill location out there. But yeah I am thinking it may be too tight. How long can I live on oatmeal and protien shakes right?! I agree with the tuna fish, even before this last fill. Can not take the pain. Did you try it grilled? Even worse. Funny how some people can do eggs differently too. I can't do boiled or fied, only scrammbled. I read a post the other day of someone who can do only boiled. go figure. what is the deal with beef jerky. Right now that is pretty muchthe only meat I can eat.

i dont like eggs...except hard boiled. every one in a great while i will have a bite or two of scrambled eggs, but not too often. i was mad because i couldnt even eat a hardboiled egg! stuck city. but with having so many in the house from easter i tried one again, and it went down fine. for one day! and now again, not a good one. seems so weird to me how that works! i really like salmon but dont dare try it because of my results with the tuna...think it would be the same?
