Last Night Could Have Been Bad

Last night has to stay embedded in memory.  It was a slippery slope that could have turned into an ugly long drop.  Things built up all day and by late night overload.  Mindless march to the frig time.  Something was saying cheese over and over again. Why cheese, who knows. Like a dairy product would make it all go away?  Everyones world would then be wonderful, wouldn't that be good (along with tasty).  Thank goodness there was only one slice left there.   With that munched on it all went to a weird mix of anger.  First because there was no more cheese (how old am I?) and then because I had gotten to munching and letting things get the better of me. The ending  piece that has to burn into the brain is the realization that I let emotions talk way to much in my head as I get older.   After thinking probably way to much about it, it seems frustration is the top of the list.
BBL (this will not be an other one of those days ;-) keep repeating )
PhotobucketOK it is not about cheese but thought it was funny.

Mumbling... remember last night, today like a mantra.  It is the not being able to change or let go of frustrating things.  The things that are not going anywhere but keep repeating.  Reread part of the YOAD book on emotional eating.  It is fine but not really on the target.  The food is a quick straight  in the vein fix. It is tasty and good right then and there, it is cheap and doable, not illegal.  Ok it does not last but sometimes something tasty right then  just seems to fight with the, you will be better off  down the road with out it. Making more frustration. With each frustration bump today thoughts of grab a candy bar, look Oberwise ice cream up the road or maybe a big sloppy pizza for dinner scream out.  Last night and the sore muscles from renewed workouts fight back, are you nuts.  Maybe.

Rie....I have decided to join Weight Watchers and mix it with YOAD. I can't stand to have this weight on me any longer. I want it gone and if that means being like the addict I am, I can attend a meeting every single day. Can't seem to get the scale to budge even when I am doing good by following the plan. I am still going to post on Real Age since I will be following the plan....just counting points instead of HFCS. I know....it's a vicious cycle.

Hi Kim,
Hoping WW works out for you. I know several people who did really well with it. You deserve it. I tried it twice (along with so many other things, ARGH). Points and then their core plan. The core did the best of the two for me. But both leveled off with not much loss. Want to say more but drama here again. Teenagers... BBL

Hi Kim,
I agree about wanting the weight off! I have been thinking of having the doctor ok it to see a doctor geared toward weight issues. Just wonder if the liver problems along with no gall bladder, thyroid, meds. or whatever was messing up the monthly cycle (they never did figure out why it was so heavy and never wanted to end) could be hindering things. Had asked the doctor a while back what to do when things were not working anymore. She did not feel eating was off and that the exercise was good. She was happy with things as they stand since all the important number were very good and staying there. Just keep doing what you are doing she said. But I hate the fact that the size and scale will not change anymore! Working so hard and still over weight.
I guess I'm sticking with this because it has been the only thing to get me this far and just not sure what else would really shift it. Not looking for a magic pill but just something that works again. So just want to have the doctor's chart be at normal weight label. If I can get the doc to send me and I get any info I'll post it.
I'll stop the rant.

No gallbladder here either and I have a blood spot on the liver that needs to be monitored to make sure it doesn't grow. So far, nothing wrong with my thyroid. Are you sure we aren't related? :) Please keep me informed on what you find out. I figure if I don't do anything on weight watchers the first month.....then I will just have to look for something else that will work. I so want to be normal or at least comfortable with my size...and that is not where I am currently. :) How do you get the stuff on the left side of your blog? I can't seem to put stuff there now but I am illetierate. :)

Today after all the work... 2 more pounds up. Going to put that call into the doctor! I will be posting because something has to give. This just is not working. Not sure what to do though. Was really down but trying to get back to positive attitude about it now. In the mean time keeping up the work outs (at least they make me feel better). Also thinking of doing mostly vegetarian eating. Had just gotten another half turkey breast so will use it but then will see. Hear you about the clothes. Want to have NO X (xl at the moment) on the tag and to get the wedding rings back on.

I will get back to you on the left side stuff. It was code i added to do it (it is not you ;-) ). I have to look it up though. Will tonight, have to run mom out on errands.
