@PackerFanInGB
Has anyone heard from Snowflake (Tracey)? I hope she's doing well! Funny how we can worry and wonder about people we've not met in person, isn't it? The magic of the internet....
I noticed her posting in another group yesterday that she was very busy3 -
Been a long couple of weeks for me. Not sure why, but I just quit caring about my health. I began eating everything and in any amount. I quit setting goals, logging and weighing. It's like I gave up. I was doing really well eating the mini meals throughout the day and then a balanced, but low carb dinner in the evening. I didn't feel hungry or deprived, but then all of a sudden, I did. Well, not exactly. I had slowly started skipping some of my mini meals (100-150 cals every 2.5 - 3hrs). By skipping or spreading these out, I'd get hungry. Then I started cutting down my dinner portions. Part of me liked being hungry. There were days when I was getting as little as 600-800 calories a day. It threw everything off and left me miserable. The plan I had was working as I'd hoped (I lost 40 pounds before things got iffy), why did I need to make it difficult and unsustainable?
It's disordered thinking (I have a history of starvation dieting and self-punishment). If I'm strict with my plan and it works, maybe I should be more strict and see if it works better. Well, I know it doesn't and I've proven that again and again. Severe restriction eventually leads to binging, and for some reason it's hard to get back on track once that cycle begins. I'm an all or nothing person, and I need to be all in on a plan, not a strict diet, but a plan for living a healthy life. I mean if it's easy it isn't good enough, I need to be punished for getting myself into this situation. Right? So I make it hard, then I fail. You know, just like I knew I would...
I was doing really well and getting pretty good at satisfying my needs & wants with lower calorie alternatives, like cauliflower crust pizza (CauliPower crust is really good) but then I got lazy and just wanted to order a darn pizza. Problem was once I was off plan (went over calories), I felt like a failure and went further over. You'd think this was enjoyable, but for me it was a punishment. Like I said all or nothing. Nothing is not a good place for me, it is detrimental to my physical and mental health. What I need to do is put on my big girl panties and push through the negative feeling long enough to reestablish a more positive relationship with food. It isn't a reward or a punishment, its a fuel and it can be enjoyable without being excessive.
So how do I let this happen if I know how bad it can get? I'm not sure I'm consciously aware of it until it's too late. Restricting often feels "right" to me because things shouldn't be easy for me. As I said, disordered thinking. Yes, I've been in therapy for years for various reasons, these days it is a matter of self-awareness. I am writing this out as a form of therapy for me, this site is often a journal of my journey. It helps me voice things and see them more clearly, and maybe will connect with others who struggle.
Anyway thanks for letting me vent... Now for some simple goals

Lots of green check marks, but my healthy eating choices sucked today. I ate half a sleeve of Saltine crackers, half a chocolate bar, and then made some shortbread cookies and ate some of those too. Not a single veggie and only a tiny bit of fruit. Wonder why I didn’t have much appetite for dinner, or why my stomach hurts now? I wasn’t even eating because I was hungry, it was just there.
Really need to get a handle on the constant grazing I do throughout the day.2 -

It’s a difficult path we tread on our quest for better health and fitness. It’s only natural that we occasionally stumble.
When this happens, we pick ourselves up and start over. We keep on striving for improvement. This is the true meaning of success.
Strive for progress!
