Brandy's Success Diary

I turn to food for everything. Happy, angry, sad, confused, frustrated, sick, healthy, bored, etc. And I will eat and eat until it's gone. Even if it's a food I don't like. SOMETIMES I can control my portions. But if someone doesn't take the rest away from me, I'll eat it. Then I will beat myself up over it, and eat a different food! I can't believe it! I'm disgusted by myself! I need to control this. I need to make my meals ahead of time, and store them somewhere. Because I'm awful! I want someone to give me all the food I'm supposed to eat- so I have no choices or decisions to make. LOL. I'm really frustrated. It's a combination of a lot of things right now. I am sick, and I have work early in the morning. I have eaten horribly today, and I keep eating even though I'm nauseous. I am NOT looking forward to work. And my father told me he is making chicken pot pie and mashed potatoes for dinner the weekend before my birthday, even though he knows I want to eat healthy. And I can't say no! Grrrrrrr.
 
The first step is realizing you have a problem..lol. Now that you know, it's time to do something about it. When you feel the urge to engage in emo eating, take a minute to tell yourself that momentary feeling of comfort isn't worth the guilt and damage to your weight loss plan. :) Try to find another outlet--something constructive like making purses etc..something you enjoy that takes your mind off whatever's bothering you. :hug2:

How is Dan's cold? Hope he's getting better. Take some vitamin C to fend off the germs..lol. My H has had a cold, too. I've been taking 2000mg of C per day and so far it's worked..lol.
 
Thank you kim. Part of it is me PMSing. But you are right. I need to find an outlet. I am just having trouble. I'll figure it out. I'm just frustrated because around TOM every month my plans are ruined, and I have to start over.
 
I have pcos which affects my hormones and man did I used to feel out of control, so I can totally relate. It's under control for the most part but during my TOM sometimes I could eat us out of house and home. I hate that feeling too ;/. I've been skipping meals and going to long without eating and then overeating when I finally do get to sit down so I'm working on that. I bought some oatmeal for breakfasts to try and fill myself up. Anyway today any better for you?
 
hey lisa. I'm feeling better about my food frenzy. But I figured out my problem was hormones. TOM came today. While I was at work! And I was going to stay home from work because I feel like crap still, but I sucked it up. And my boss told me it was ok if I stayed home tomorrow if I still feel sick. Which I probably will because it's getting worse. I feel 10 times worse then yesterday, and I have cramps on top of it all. And I feel so sick I can't eat much at all. I need to rest and forget about trying to exercise tonight. I can barely move out of bed. I had 4 cups of Sunny D this morning to stock my body up with vitamin C. Thanks for that advice! Yumm. Well....I'm going to watch movies in bed and relax.
 
You shouldn't be worrying about that while you're sick silly. Just get some rest and take care of yourself so you can get well. Hope you have some good movies to watch :)
 
I am still sick!! Grrrrr. But I know what I'm going to do when I get healthy again. 1600 calories, 500 calories burned in exercise a day. I will have a daily routine(wake up, yoga, shower, walk and weight lifting sometime during the day) and I will learn to stick to that schedule. Once I do that- things will straighten themselves out again. :) I just can't wait to feel better. Which should be in a day or 2. Ugh. I just want to get better. I'm sick of being sick.
 
I hope you feel better soon!!! Being sick just stinks all the way around! Take care of yourself and drink lots of water!
 
Thank you Michelle and Lisa for stopping by and wishing me well. I'm still stuffy today. But I'm feeling a lot better. I'm not going to exercise today, because I still need to get a little bit better. I still have a cough and I'm super congested. But its ok. Tomorrow I will probably be a lot better. I will start my 1600 calorie with 500 calories burned during exercise. It will work for me! :D Today I'm taking it easy. I'll be cleaning, doing homework, and playing games. I should be healthy enough by tomorrow to start with my exercise routine. So I'm pretty excited this sickness has almost passed. I got the nastiest cold that I've ever had. It felt like the flu with no temperature. :/ But... I'm happy again. Back to my normal self. Today will just be my relax day to make sure i get better. I'm very glad. And my weight has gone down from its extreme high from TOM and eating poorly combination. I was seeing 208's!! And today I was 204's... so thats comforting... especially since I've just been bed-ridden for the past 2-3 days.
 
Nothing like being super sick for weight loss eh? lol SO glad you're on the mend though. Just don't overdo it tomorrow thinking your alot better. Your body is still fighting it off and you could relapse. Then you'd really be mad :X

Hey what a great plan. That's what I'm trying to do. Don't worry, you'll bounce back. Congrats on 25.4 pounds lost. You have done so well. Keep up the good work.
 
Hey Brandy, I got slammed with two exams this week and work so I haven't been able to post much. So now that it's over I thought I'd come by and see how you're doin. Looks like you're busy too so drop me a line when you get a chance :) ~Lisa
 
Where are you my fellow New Englander? Gotta love the weather right now huh? Hope you're feeling better and can enjoy it.
 
Hello stranger!! I hope you are doing alright. You are a busy girl so hopefully it's business taking you away. Hope you come back soon!! Have a great weekend:)
