I've hoarded food in dressers in my room for weeks just because I was afraid someone else was going to eat them all and I would have no food, because I used to only allow myself to eat at a very specific time over a period of 2 days, usually one big meal at around midnight all at once. Then nothing else for 2 more days.
Also, I go lower with my cals than I should way more often than I should. Working on that. It's just so hard when you want all the weight off NOW.
Welcome, Cute! I think everyone here has done at least one of the things you do.
I just don't buy the snack food most of the time. And if I do, I get what I want and let my kids eat the rest. (the average age of my boys is 16. They eat a lot and just about anything)
I hide food in a bin in the back of my SUV so that the boys have it for more than one day after a grocery shop. It has the added advantage that I won't bother to go get it for me.
You didn't gain weight overnight. You will not lose it overnight. Trying to isn't healthy. Let it happen at a healthy pace that you can sustain when you are done.
My sister's kids are the same way! I bought them a package of the Firework Oreos & her two boys devoured almost the whole pack within an hour.
Great advice!
I am at the point now that the only snack items I am going to try to buy are nut butters (I might splurge & buy some of the Epic Spreads flavors), Protein bars/protein snacks, & some of the different cheese/meat snacks (as I call them adult Lunchables or the Balanced Breaks snacks).
With ice cream & chips I'm only going to buy it when a craving hits (very salty snacks only usually around my period) & once it's gone just go back to eating some of my other snacks.1 -

I have $600 saved in my personal "mad money" account and I want to ask him if he'd be mad if I went to Orlando on my own. It's $600 for flight and hotel, I'd just have to save up for food and other expenses.
Let us know how the convo goes Quik! I'm currently trying to workout how to get the husband to agree to me running a 50 miler in October in another province

Part of me is also very excited to try and work through this and quite frankly to get another opinion, I'm starting to think my original diagnosis is wrong.
How did it go?
This! I hope it helped you.
It went well! She can't diagnose me so I am going to a Dr on Saturday to go back on meds and discuss how to go about getting another opinion for my original diagnosis. As for therapy, I go back on Tuesday. She said she can see a road map currently and hopefully can help me at least make a dent in the emotional turmoil I'm dealing with, she also left a note at the front desk in the lobby that when I go in I can pay what I can afford since I am actually trying and not covered by benefits.
This sounds like a great therapist. Someone who really wants to help you. I have my fingers crossed she can get you back on track where you want and need to be emotionally. How did the doctors visit go? (or maybe I'll see that as I read down I am a bit behind).1 -

You've worked so hard to get to this point that I would definitely ask if you could use your personal money to compete!
I'm trying to work up to nerve to broach the subject (which is dumb. I know we can have a conversation on the subject without anyone getting angry). He went to bowling Nationals without me. Although that was Vegas and not Orlando. I'm thinking I'll wait until after Regionals because it's possible (but not probable) that I won't qualify for Nationals anyway. And I'll have more money saved up by then, to help my argument.
My mojo is better. I did 360 lb block-pulls last night, 2X2, and did one OHP at 100 lbs. First time on both!
I think if you qualify you go. I will be hugely motivating to you! And glad you are getting it back!0 -

I had a 3 day horse show this weekend where I showed on Friday and Sunday. My mare was so incredible. I messed up in the last class (the one I was building up to) but it was 2 stupid mistakes on my part and my mare did her level best. She is 21 now so I don't have a lot of time left with her jumping higher, so we are going to make this the last year we try for 3'. She can totally do it, it's my own show nerves that get in the way. I tried another horse this past weekend, he is in on trial for me through Saturday. The first few days weren't too impressive, but he is so flipping cute I want to see how it goes. So I'll try riding him again tomorrow.4

My now 11 year old has discovered cookies and cream protein bars... nothing is safe from my horde, it seems.1 -

Yes she's a Chihuahua and wiener dog mix. She looks like a Chihuahua but has short legs and a long body.
I'm finally getting into my exercise groove and it feels so good! Trail yesterday and burned a *kitten* ton of cals. Tomorrow gym, and Friday Zumba. I'm skipping Saturday's work out because we're celebrating the 4th and I plan to Grub and then get right back to it! Maybe one day I'll finally be back to my lowest so I can start losing real weight again..

Guys! I confess I freaking love this gym selfie from last night. There's almost ABS!!! 168.2 lbs this morning, which means 9.8 lbs to the next powerlifting class. Did I tell you all that my trainer made a bet with me, if I can reach the weight class by my competition, he's going to train me FREE for a month?!?

LOL. I needed the boost. I'd been dragging at the gym without much motivation lately. That pic really boosted my attitude.3 -
Quik you are an inspiration to the dedication of weightlifting. It shows that you work very hard and I hope you get to go to nationals. You are Super Great!!3

So guess who put off getting meds and is sincerely regretting it, we're heading to the states tomorrow for the wedding. My anxiety is a ridiculous high and catastrophic thoughts are running over and over again in my head, add on top of the fact that I am wearing my singlet to workouts now to get the feel of them which hypothetically is fine. Guess who had a meltdown over how she looked and how much my confidence is a freaking roller coaster just like my anxiety and depression. Ugh. Life. BUT I have an appointment with the therapist today.0 -

NOBODY looks good in a singlet! NOBODY! It is not you, it's the singlet. I swear. Vix, trust me. Breathe. You got this.1 -
Is a singlet the leotard I imagine when I think of Kurt Angle? I suspect if anyone could look good in that it's Vix or Quik. If you're saying no, it must be the outfit!
I hope the therapy does you some good and you get your meds sorted asap.1 -

This is true I have volunteered at High School wrestling tournaments and not even fit young guys look good in singlets. Whose idea we're those anyway?! Fire them!!!1 -
Quik, you look fantastic!!1

I lost my flipping mind when I came home today and nothing I had asked my boys to do had been done. When I said I was going to do it, but the price for my labor would be that the cable modem came to work with me tomorrow, they moved themselves right along and got it all done in half an hour.
They will not play all day on my dime and have me do the chores when I come home. I didn't yell and make a scene, which I felt like doing, I just told them how it would be.5
