Nice attitude and approach!

I bet you look pretty darn good at 104! Love the body you are in.

Karen:
Thanks for the compliment. I know you have the strength too. You have put your children in front of you, as I would too, so hopefully Monday you will get to do one thing for you...start living binge free!

P.S.- I am so jealous of your gardening abilities. I use to garden when I lived in PA, but then I moved to NYC and I can't find a patch of land to tend to!!!!

momov2boys · 07-06-2007, 10:04 AM

Well, I dropped a pound after having my pecans and PB yesterday.
Frequently that happens to me, even when I overeat PB.
I lose...makes me wonder if my body needs those particular calories.

Anyway, I'll take it!

I finally feel at peace now, knowing I can eat PB (not every day, though), and still be fine.
It has really taken me a long time (10 months?) to "make peace" with PB.

I am renewed.
No more deprivation/bingeing/hopelessness or guilt.
I am closing the chapter in my life about obsessing over PB.

Plus, today is my 11th wedding anniversary (18 years together, though!)
DH and I were high school sweethearts from age 14!

Our sitter comes at 6PM and we'll have dinner at Legal Seafoods.
I cannot wait.

Happy Friday!!!

Congrats to you on so many levels!!!

You are truly amazing. Your inspiring and supportie posts have greatly helped me. Thank you.

chipmunkis · 07-06-2007, 11:22 AM

but I do have a problem.

Some of you know me from the PG, and occasionally from the ML, but here's my situation anyhow.

I am allergic to wheat...when I eat wheat, I have all the symptoms of IBS, I gain weight, and my environmental allergies flair up BIG time.

My doctor told me once that, when it comes to food allergies, what you crave tends to be what you are allergic to.

Last year, DHs grandmother passed away. Then DHs dad was diagnosed with cancer, then his uncle was diagnosed with cancer (lung, then brain tumours). More recently, I just moved (2 weeks ago!) after waiting 8 months to sell my house and re-join DH, who was relocated last summer. So we were apart for most of that 8 months. During that time, our best friend died (his best friend, my best friends husband) which was (and still is) devastating. Then DHs father passed away. Then my daughter decided to not move with us, so we moved without her and I miss her terribly.

Obviously a WHOLE lot of stress.

My (foolish) reaction was to start eating things like the occasional biscuit, a piece of pizza here and there...and suddenly I have found myself eating all sorts of things with wheat in them. I feel dreadful and all the health problems I had gotten rid of through doing Atkins properly for over three years are coming back

I could kick myself...and i am really struggling to stay away from wheat. It sounds so obvious...just stop eating the stuff that makes me ill...but I go a day or two eating properly then the cravings hit and I am right off course again.

I just want to feel healthy again.

Sorry for the really long post....

I love that we're all helping each other!

momov2boys · 07-06-2007, 11:49 AM

chipmunkis!

Of course this is the right place for you!
I think I can say that all of us here struggle with food addiction.

I am very sorry for the sorrows that life has placed upon you.

It is easy to understand how you have turned to food for comfort.
I believe we've all been there.

One book I'd recommend is Food Addiction, The Body Knows by Kay Sheppard. It is a great book I read to better understand food addiction. It helped me learn the importance of abstaining from trigger foods. It also lends a lot of support and encouragement in doing so.

I know all too well how one bite can and does hurt, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

But...every moment is an opportunity to turn it all around.
You've done it before and you can do it again.

We'll be here to help you along in your journey.

*Here's to a healthier, happier you, free from the awful grasp of food addiction!

Read and post often here.
We'll try to help in any ways that we can!

I'm glad you posted.

I read the Four Day Win earlier this year. I do try to use some of the suggestions such as starting with really really baby steps but I just can not do the visualization stuff at all. My mind is all over the place. I took a course years ago on creative visualization and one lesson was to picture a lemon. You had to picture it and then imagine it was cut down the middle and put back together again any way you wanted. I for the life of me couldn't picture anything but a grapefruit with a zipper. Just couldn' get a lemon in my head.

You are to funny!

I think it's a great book.

But, honestly, I'm not into all that visualization stuff, either...
Same with the Beck Book--I'm not doing any of the flash cards or exercises. I'm sure they'll be most helpful to plenty of others, it's just not in me.

I do get a lot out of reading such helpful books, though.

It's all mindset and the more I read and learn from experience, the more I am truly understanding that as reality!

BTW, momof3heathens--I have always, always, loved your avatar!!!

chipmunkis · 07-06-2007, 01:46 PM

I checked out the website for Food Addiction, The Body Knows by Kay Sheppard and really liked the fact that you don't need to buy a bunch of stuff to learn more about it. The food plan and a support plan is right there.

kviolette · 07-06-2007, 04:04 PM

Made it through the last stay home day! I have not really binged today and the boys and I finished cleaning their room. I have not been outside much today but I will get there later. DH took the boys to the pool. I may watch cr@p TV for a while.

I peeked at the Kay Sheppard website. Interesting how the addictive process seems to work with individual food items. I think I am most definitely addicted to PB. As with any addition, after abstaining for a while, only a bite or two will do but soon enough, bottoms up on the whole jar.

I started to read the Beck Diet Solution last night and got to the page for Day 1. I intended to get to it today as I fell asleep but mothering got in the way. More important to have the kids work the room than for me to do my workbook. With dh home this weekend and school next week, I'll get to it. Right now I'm balancing the checkbook (been a while since I've done that...thoroughly).

Just reading a bit about the food addictions on K. Sheppard's site offers me a glimmer of hope in this battle. It does seem that I am powerless over PB and that I cannot control it.

Chipmunkis - my heart goes out to you during this difficult period in your life. I have only been here for a very short while but it does seem that we share a common bond within our relationships with food. I have early diabetes and so must also stick to Atkins/LC or I too wreak havoc with my body. I too have been eating improperly for about 6months and fear the damage I have done through this addictive process. I am glad you are here - together we can make it.

Thanks Kathy!
It seems you and I share the same problem w/PB.
Maybe we could try to abstain, together (?)
I've not been successful in eliminating it, ever, yet...

It was a nice anniversary day and evening.

DH surprised me with a Jack Leigh photograph original that we fell in love with years ago when we were in Savannah, GA (before kids). The photographer has since died from colon cancer; he was only in his 40s. He was a great guy. We were lucky to have met him while in his studio years back.

I had too many calories and carbs today, but they were all enjoyed. And...it is my anniversary...

B--EAS vanilla shake
L--Tuna w/WF 1000 Island dressing, 1 slice RF havarti cheese, peanut butter
D--(Legal Seafoods) Garlic shrimp w/mushrooms, tomatoes, and scallions over broccoli; a flight of 3 white wines
--1 extra dark Godiva chocolate truffle
--We're about to enjoy some dessert wine outside.
*The sitter put both boys to bed and we are FREE!!!

Happy w/e to all of you!!!

PhotoMama · 07-07-2007, 07:00 AM

Three pages?!? I'm never going to catch up

My trip to OK went ... okay. I think my son had the best birthday party a kid could ever want. My SIL's fiance is a firefighter ... my son's party theme was fire trucks ... fiance brought a fire truck out to the house for all the kids to climb on for a bit and then took DS for a ride to the park for fireworks. At age three, life just can't get any better than that.

Now that we're home, I'm ready to do some "crash dieting". 146 this morning. Honestly, I thought it was going to be more. Anyway, I've decided to do M&E for the next ... well, until I go to CO on the 18th. That's if my body will let me.

For anyone in here that has done M&E before ... what kind of things did you get? I really don't think I can live off of scrambled eggs and sausage/bacon/meatballs for two weeks.

Okay, I'm off to play a bit of catch up before hitting the treadmill.

kviolette · 07-07-2007, 08:13 AM

I just finished a binge. Peanut butter sandwiches. (Bread is tough on the blood sugar.)

I just decided to do it. It's like I don't care about my life or well-being.

momov2boys · 07-07-2007, 08:52 AM

It's okay, Kathy!

Use this moment to turn yourself around.
You can do it and we're all here for you!

You do care about yourself and your family.
We can work on wellness, together.

Move forward and think positively.
All will be well. It will!

Try PB from a spoon, next time.
(No bread required).
*That's how I like it best!

I agree! Get the bread out of the house if need be, and just have a PB treat ( I'm allergic myself, but I hear that PB and cream cheese together is very satisfying!) Don't give up...it's so worth the work to get back on track and feeling better! You can do it!

For breakfast this am I really wanted some rye toast, but instead, I read a bit here, then went and had some cheese and turkey- a much better choice for me!

I am going to try to do that every time I get tempted to eat whats bad for me...I will read a bit here and get myself thinking about the choices I am making and why I am choosing to make them.

kviolette · 07-07-2007, 02:06 PM

Thanks for the inputs. I 'normally' eat PB with a spoon or mixed w/ cream cheese.

The bread is a big step backwards. Interesting thing is lately I have been having more trouble with my asthma. Wonder if I'm allergic to PB? I am sure the higher carbs is playing a role.

Rebecca - you are right, I do care. I have these moments when I tell myself that I don't care...even as the scale continues to creep up, and the BSL remains high. I don't understand what this rut is that I'm in. I am going to sit down and finish day 1 from Beck's book...my first card.

Chipmunkis - it has been hard for me to not give up. Reading here does help a lot but I have been choosing not to do anything that is helpful. I hope that when the kids are in school (Monday) things will turn around.

I am so stuck...

kviolette · 07-07-2007, 07:39 PM

I am working on a list of reason why I want to lose weight, Beck's 'Advantage Response Card'. How interesting to me that I feel hungry as I work on this.

(It is most definitely NOT physical hunger.)

try to keep some good foods available so that they are easy to access when you get feeling like this...boiled eggs/ devilled eggs, sliced or cubed cheese, celery sticks with anice LC dip....

We're here for ya!

what about wheat? my allergies have been going CRAZY, and I know its because I foolishly began eating wheat again.

Today is the best i've felt in a while and I haven't had anything "bad" for me. hmmmm.

I hate that I know this stuff but still get stupid with my health.

Glad you are feeling better after only a few days.

I too know a lot about what I need to do but choose not to. I wonder about the wheat allergy myself. My Dad has asthma too and finds he does better if he does not eat bread. I have trouble when I drink beer also so I'm thinking that the bigger issue may be the yeast. Maybe some of my stuff is also wheat allergy.

Either way, allergies or not, diabetes is by far a bigger issue.

I did not eat last night even though I felt like I was hungry. I know it was not real because I waited about 10 minutes and it was gone. I kept working on my Beck book instead. I really really don't want to do that work - my mind kept wandering and I kept fidgeting. Like a kid who wants to go out and play but has to do homework. I can identify very well with my 5th grader today, that's for sure!

How interesting to me that I feel hungry as I work on this. (It is most definitely NOT physical hunger.)
