On My Way- Day By Day

nicky · 12-08-2006, 06:40 AM

Hi there- I have been really thinking about starting to write in a journal more and more lately, then i found the sticky for this board. I am very excited, and maybe this will help me to achieve or reach the goals and defeat the negetive energy surrounding me at this time (people, thoughts, extra pounds or what ever it may be). Yeah! finally a place where i can just think out loud!

So, this is my first post here- DH and i have been having a shaky time living w/ the in-laws lately. Cant wait to move on w/things.

I am sad b/c the scale said 157 - ugh- i still cant get over being in the 150's or even 140s. I was alwasy in the 130s and i was mad then- i am really mad now. I need to let go of my anger- I need to do what I know in my heart works, not what other people think works.

OK- today is a sad day- not all days are this bad. I will make sure it is a goal of mine to work on each day, making one better after the other, on my way- day by day.

I am back. I am bored and thinking and want to get this life of mine organized. I am feeling scared and nervous- just thinking about the upcoming holidays, and trying to l/c. That is what always messes me up- thoughts of holidays etc, dinners at my parents, inlaws etc. I suppose it is b/c i dont want to tell anyone i am l/c b/c of dealing w/ bs from people. ugh.

My aunts b-day party is tomorrow night. i dont even want to go- i feel like i look so bad and have nothing to wear that fits me. well- a few things- but this is why i get so mad at myself. what am i supposed to do tomorrow ? i want to do l/c starting today, but all these holiday parties... what to do?

Maybe.... b/c i am following CAD sort of, i will apply those principles to this ... and i will be strict low carb w/ the exception of holidays/parties, when i will do CAD, and then only eat/drink non-l/c food for 60 mins. I think that will help keep me undercontrol, not eat or drink too much- and help me deal w/ this emotionally.

ah- ok now i feel better- see i knew i came here for a reason.

From Nancy Schimelpfening,
Your Guide to Depression.

One of the ways I've dealt with my depression is through diet. I've found that eliminating processed sugar and flour have helped me tremendously. Not only are my moods more stable, but my energy is up and my weight is down. The following are some of my favorite recipes. If you are following a low-carb diet like Atkins, CAD or Sugar Busters you will find these are great additions to your recipe collection.

... it helps me to realize i think my depression and low moods and general moodyness lately is totally diet related, compounded w/ inlaws etc. I am going to insist dh take me to get some l/c goodies to keep around here for emergencies like today when i am stuck in a room w/ no food! i hate these days. anyhow- dh will come back soon to get me, and finally get some b-fast. im soo hungry, and yeah- i hear his car- i think he fially came to rescure me..im outta here.

Good morning, I have been so bad the past few days. Eveyone has there 2cents to contribute- when all the advice i really need is from myself- I cant wait to get on with my life soon. Anyhow- i weighed in today after not weighing in for awhile- and it looks like im up a lb, but today i am starting a challenge - for Christmas- i would LOVE to get into the low 140s, or dare i say 130s for Christmas- so i am going to make that my goal. I am 158 today- so thats like almost 20lbs, in 20 days! Maybe a bit much, but i am ready to work for it!

My menu today:

B: eggs w/ cheese, green tea (no sweetner)
