Michelle's sprint back on track

What a weekend!!! My dad is still in the hospital, and I have been stressed, and though i have made some food choices that were not perfect, I have managed to keep insane stress eating to a minimum.. thank goodness. Yesterday i went for a long walk with a friend of mine which i think helped me regroup a bit.
Yesterday I went and bought a bunch of veggies to make a healthy soup so that i have some better choices to eat when I get home from the hospital. *its too easy to go through a drive through when you dont feel like cooking* Im sure things will settle soon, and i can be more focused on me. The one thing i have not done, is by halloween candy, because i know for a fact I wont be home that night and there is NO NEED to have it in the house..that was a tough one though..lol
 
Breakfast:2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces toast, water
Snack: Skinny vanilla latte and a piece of banana bread
Lunch: salad with ham and a coffee, water (at hospital while visiting dad)
Dinner: Turkey, potatoes, stuffing, broccoli, and coleslaw *late thanksgiving dinner at my boyfriend's brother's house. We had a fab, sugar free fruit crumble too, with not so sugar free soy ice cream.
 
Hey Michelle!

It's my first time dropping by.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I really hope he gets better <3

I think you've been eating pretty healthy considering all the stress you've been under.

You can do this :)

Thanks so much for stopping in and giving your support. It is very much appreciated. Im trying to keep myself in check, though i tell ya, i want to eat everything in sight sometimes...lol
 
Today I got up and had a pre bought fruit smoothie, was all natural and quite good. I then had a piece of banana bread and a skinny vanilla latte. That was in the morning and then I spent the day with dad in the hospital, didn't eat again until about 7pm when I had some chinese food with a friend before heading back up to the hospital.
I need to work on drinking my water. Being this focused on dad's illness makes it hard for me to focus on myself...but i will keep trying

OooooK! not the best choices today... not that i ate too much, im not eating enough, especially since i am diabetic and need to eat frequently. Breakfast: Skinny Vanilla latte

Lunch(6pm) salad, coke zero, 1 liter of water

Dinner(10:30pm) piece of chicken,wedge fries, water
11:45pm Home made vegetable beef soup. (i made it so that I would have something that was handy and healthy for me to eat when i get home.

This is why i did what I did for you:)Hope you enjoy ! I care about you alot and really worry especially with the hardly eating, being diabetic and under alot of stress!Oh and all the commuting back and forth!
 
Cerella, I don't think you could have done a more kind and perfect thing for Dan and I. Thank you so much, to you and Karen. I just put everything away (and put together my lunch for today :) ) and it was so overwhelming. I'm lucky to have friends like you to help me when I am not watching out for myself. Big hugssssssssssss

Well, ive been spending most of my time at the hopital with dad. Ive been eating better since ive had some snacks and lunches prepared for me by Cerella. I am happy to say that my blood sugar has been much better since ive been not waiting too long before eating. This week I lost 1 pound and am now 2 pounds away from being under 300 pounds.... Slowly but surely...i will get there

Rough day with dad today. It is hard to watch someone you love slowly pass away before your eyes. I am trying to not emotionally eat, which i am so prone to doing. Its been not too bad, but I just have to be aware of what i am doing without mindless hand to mouth habits.
 
Dad passed away today while I held his hand in the hospital. I haven't really eaten much today, just not hungry. I will do my best to not let myself fall into a spiral of stupid eating. Im lucky to have a great support system of friends/ loved ones around me.

I can't believe how long its been since i have come in to say hi or post anything. I have been spending time getting over the passing of my dad. He lost the battle to cancer November 3 (it was a short battle, which was best because he was in pain)
I have had so much support from my friends, which has been amazing. I wasn't focused at all for a while, but i am getting back on track. I am FINALLY under 300 pounds.... took some time, but i finally did it. It took me a while to realize that i do need to spend time on me, especially when going through such a stressful time.
