Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I love it. I stepped away from mfp because my dad was having health problems and then I was trying to get pregnant. I just had my baby a month ago and I'm back on mfp. I'm excited this thread is still going because it was a big motivator for me to check in every day last time around. Some crazy part of me wants to try and go back and reread everything I missed, but there's no way... is there?
Welcome back. We slowed down a ton...you could catch up.0 -
Confession: my food addiction is back in full swing after having my baby. I managed to keep my weight gain moderate while pregnant but I already gained back 5lbs of my initial post-baby loss. Boo. Today was my first day back to logging and I realized I was thinking "I'm bored, I should eat". Ugh. I did pretty good until after dinner when I had two ice cream sandwiches. Why two?? Blah.
At least you are seeing what is happening and can stop it. Two ice cream sandwiches?? It's summer, sometimes it is just what you want.3 -
I prepped my whole day of eating, then went and left my breakfast on the counter at home. Change of plans for that part of my day. Lucky for me, I keep a stash of Quest bars at work, mainly for that reason.2

@Talkradio welcome back and Happy Baby! You could catch up, but it would take a while. Two ice cream sandwiches, meh. Put baby in the stroller and walk one off.2

I was thinking the same thing. At least it wasn't 2 boxes of ice cream sandwiches. Now, THERE'S a confession!2 -
And last random status... I still can't figure out why my newish phone won't sync pictures to my computer. I need to figure this out before leaving for ENGLAND! If I ever get it to work this thread will be a mass of 4 months of pictures.
You know you can share pictures from your phone.0 -

I also hit the gym this morning, so am already back on track.
Great job!! I got discouraged this weekend. Went wedding shopping with my stepdaugther that is getting married. Was well under my calories for the day. I had hit an alltime low on the scale that morning, but the next day, BOOM, up 5lbs. I am officially frustrated....
Just like our bodies to give us s low weight and then smack us with just kidding,
Remember you hit the low weight which you are still losing.
I tell you that because my hubby has to remind me of that fact often. Ohhh so very often.
You got this!3 -

This depends on how much uninterrupted time you have and how fast you read.
I imagine baby will have plans for your time!2 -

Happy, sad, angry, bored, impatient, celebratory, family closeness, there are so many reasons to eat.
And I have managed to hit all of them!3 -

1. It was amazing!
2. It was ginormous! (It could have served 4 people, at least. )
3. Although I didn't make the best choice, I didn't make the worst one, either. At least I didn't try to eat dinner, and THEN that dessert.
I also checked out the drinks menu for a LONG time, but stuck with water. 6 #soberdays!
Great job!
I think today is day 7 #noalcoholtil2017. Traveling again. More challenges to face.
I kinda lost track. I think today is Day 8 of #soberdays for me.0 -

Haha! True. It's not the worst binge but it was supposed to be my big re-entry to self-controlled eating. I've been eating bags of chips and cartons of ice cream this past month so it really was a scaled back day... small steps.3 -
Badly in need of confessing.
Yesterday I behaved like a Yeti.
You see I had my whole day planned (eating wise that is). well Hubby, the lovely man that he is wanted to take me to this great taco place. Ok I thought I can adjust.
When we got there he walked right up to the counter and starting his never changing meal. The same thing every single time, how does one do that! Any how I was trying to work out what I really wanted and he whispers in my ear there are people are waiting. What I could could have done was to tell the lady at the register to cancel out the order and attend the other costumers. Did I do that? No. I just blurted out my order haphazardly and left mad making my husband to try do decide wether or not I wanted the tortillas or not. I was mad at him for rushing me.
I found a seat and sat down pouting. Hubby wisely sat down and busied himself looking his phone.
When the food came I was still putting because I had figured I had a whole days worth of fat. I ate the first two bites angrily and I would say without enjoyment as if someone had tasked my to eat an eggplant out of the garden.
I thought why am I eating this way? This is good food why am I not enjoying this. So I slowed down and enjoyed the rest of the meal without talking to him. We were half way home before I said that I did not like being rushed and then said no more. I went straight off to bed and went to sleep. As my diary was I would have had 20 grams of extra fat. I really don't do well when I am very very tired.
When I woke I changed out my food diary to make the fats to be close to my goal certainly a lot less than 20 grams. The tacos were delicious. And I learned that I really miss out when I eat emotionally verses mindfully and tastefully.
My hubby accepted my apology easily. I really made a mountain out of a mole hill.1 -

Wendy, I do that all the time and I regret it. The making a mountain out of a molehill. And emotional eating. I snapped rather meanly at someone who was trying to help me yesterday, and it was a general, personality comment that I really regret. I want to try really hard going forward to remember that I shouldn't say things that will hurt people, not even in anger or frustration. Because you always regret it.
Your husband is a sweetie, I am sure he was fine. And one day of tacos isn't going to kill you.

I took a break. Ah well. There were no fitbit challenges the last 2 weeks anyway. I didn't issue them and no one else did either. We all seem to be in a posting/challenge funk.2 -

Bummer! I'm bored, too. I should be putting together a presentation, but I have zero motivation to do so. Here's a photo to entertain you.

I don't have the little camera icon.
Maybe I need to update my app? 0 -
