Mountainmama's Diary to Great Health

mountainmama · December 8th, 2006, 08:11 AM

Well,
this week hasn't been great, but at least last night when I went to bed, I wasn't stuffed... it felt really good not to have my stomach so full at bedtime. I am determined to beat this emotional eating. Last night I was feeling really down and lonely but I didn't eat because of it, yea! No exercise for the last 2 days.

Day 11
B: Very veggie drink, peanuts
L: 2 rice cakes w Peanut butter, apple
D: 5 brushetta, pita chips, roasted garlic & red pepper dip
S: Popcorn, craisins

Day 12
B: Skipped
L: Cauliflower, pita chips, dip, tomato & zucchini salad
S: Peanuts, pita chips, m&m's
D: Scrambled eggs, turkey bacon
S: 4 ginger cookies

The road to better emotional and physical health is a journey worthy of my time and effort. May today be better than yesterday...

Hi all,
Ate cookies last night when I wasn't hungry and was feeling all alone in a room full of people. Unless I deal with the feelings lurking under my skin, I will never be able to face food properly. I was thinking that when I move to the city, I would finally be happy, healthy and whole. But, when I move, I will be taking me with me and therein is where my problems lie. SP message boards have really opened my eyes this morning and I see that I need to look deep inside to see why I make food my best friend. It is the one constant that doesn't hurt me (well, that isn't exactly true, now is it?) It's interesting to see the warped world I see around me that isn't true to reality... Will have to snap back into reality to get to the bottom of my food addiction...

Day 13
I did my PACE exercises

B:apple, turkey bacon
L: cauliflower, squash, rice crackers, dip
S:granola, craisins
D:vegetarian enchilada, 4 chips, pico de gallo
S: 2 peanut butter, m&m cookies

Till we meet again...

Saturday I binged again in the evening.

Just got a scrapbook for weightloss journal. DD and I are going to take pictures and get going on that. I've lost 4 lbs in the last 2 weeks which is right on target but I soooo need to start letting myself feel my emotions instead of stuffing them back inside with food. ANYWAY...
I didn't exercise on Saturday. Yesterday, dd and I did some Hanukkah shopping and I'm sure we walked at least a mile. Here's what I ate...

Day 14
B: apple, orange juice
S: apple cider, slice pound cake, 2 crackers, 2 T cheese dip (went to aholiday open house)
L: Lasagne, green beans (kept good portions)
S: Popcorn, 4 ginger cookies
D: cornflakes, milk (I sooo wasn't hungry, wanted the cereal w/ sugar)
S: herbal tea
Never felt hunger today except in the morning and went to bed feeling absolutely stuffed

Day 15
B:took an apple and walnuts shopping but didn't feel hungry until lunch so didn't eat them
L: Fazoli's small Broccoli Alfredo, 2 bread sticks (didn't taste as good as I remembered)
D: Subway Veggie Delight, Baked Lay's Potato Chips (Yummy with only 8g fat!)
S: Glazed cake donut

What was I thinking? I WANT THAT DONUT!!! I felt horrible after eating that but vowed to not beat myself up over it... today is a new beginning...

Yesterday, I weighed in and had lost 1 lb despite my bad eating during the week.

This week will be better... I promise this to myself right now!

I am worth the effort to get healthy...
