Rants about a rollercoaster day...

Naruto4ever

Oh!!! Today was a rollercoaster... Exactly like bollywood movies.... Everything... Happiness, success, distress,... So i got up this morning and weighed myself and had lost half a kg... So i was happy at the fact that i was loosing... My mother in law arrived from india today... So chatted with her all day... No excercise.... She kept saying that we were being very ill fed... I tell u mothers.... Never seem enough for her... She even fussed about me that i seeming thin and sick..:noway: . and decided to take the cullinary duties upon herself... Lo behold... Feast was ready for dinner... Masala vadas, paneer butter masala chapathi and JALEBI!! I just threw the caution to wind and had a sumptous meal.... After getting into bed... I logged in my calories for thr day.... I was 700 calories over my usual.... Gayi bhains paani main.... My heart sunk in despair.... While my hubby is happily sleeping.... I felt like failure for the next one hour.... Tosses and turned.... Suddenly it struck me.... I have lost the battle for the day... But i haven't lost the war.....
So here am at one in the night writing this post.... And i know.... Tomorrow is a new day!!! Tomorrow is a new day.... Picture abhi baki hai dost... Bollywood istyle... :flowerforyou: i know am ranting away like a psychtic but just felt like sharing...

ouch! i totally feel that with you! not the mil bit but the diet going for a toss!

i had such a day in office yesterday too when the canteen chap made chinese!!! so i just ate everything only reduced my portion sizes to half...
in all these years of dieting, trying protein shakes, vlcc and the likes; ive come to realise that stopping yourself from indulgence doesnt work in the long run..one has to learn to manage portions and compensate the next day or so!

so good luck! im sure tomorrow will be a brand new day for you

ps: the rant was super funny and made me laugh! :laugh:

Chained_ rose... Portion reduction is a good strtategy... A little difficult but trying that only.... Nowadays before starting my meal i usually enjoy the fragnance and looking at the spread before eating.... And try to practise mindfulness while eating most days... So today i was doing that sitting with my hubby and my MIL.... After sometime she asked me what i was doing... I explained to her quite sincerely... Honestly the look on her face was as if i have been posssessed by some sort of spirit... :bigsmile: Then all of us burst out laughing.... So all these new things with excercise and food provide a daily comic relief at home... But that said... Today is going on quite well otherwise..

lol!

honestly id never be able to do that ! just looking at food is not my cup of tea. i just consciously fill my plate less and then stick to that only. no second servings at all.

what might also help is involving MIL in the weight loss. surely she could do with some weight loss too. like mom has started eating early along with me; and it has helped her lose a kg too.

in the indian culture, our dinner is usually the heaviest and trust me eating light and early at night just naturally helps deal with water retention and easy digestion. ive been feeling so light since ive started eating dinner at 7. i didnt face any issues during this cycle! sooo glad about that!
