Hello my name is Eatie McEaterson

CAN'T. STOP. EATING.

Yesterday and today I have blown through me extra weekly points.  UGGGGGG.  I haven't touched the my 'Activity' points yet, and I'm going to try really hard not too!  I've had a weekend of back sliding and I'm not very pleased with myself.  Nothing crazy, no bingeing, just snacking, snacking and more snacking.  I feel lousy.

I know that my eating has some sort of emotional link, but I can't pin point it yet.  I won't give up on my quest to figure it out though.  This was and is my goal for the year, to crack the code with my food issues.  I know a lot of it has to do with being raised with a skinny sister, and constantly being compared to her.  My Mom telling me I can't have a certain food, telling me, I'm not as lucky as my sister, she can eat whatever she wants, but I have to watch my weight.  Mind you I was about 10 when this started.  I'm not mad or resentful with my Mom, she is a kind soul who would never have said those things if she really understood the impact of her words.  But they were said, they sunk in, and I know that this is really the root of the issues I have.  However, I'm still trying to figure out what triggers my need to eat things that I shouldn't, to eat too much, and then to hate myself for it.  It's a really ugly cycle.  Thankfully this has been the first time since I joined WW that I've felt this way.
The good news is, I spent my day off doing some things I love.  I went to a very theraputic yoga class, I had brunch with my Bestie, at a delicious restaraunt, and even though I wanted the portabello eggs benedict, I ordered the veggie egg white omlette instead. :)
Today at work it was slow, and in turn I snacked WAY too much.  I tracked everything, facing the awful truth. 
Tomorrow I will make good choices for myself, I will look at it as a new day to right the wrongs I brought to myself this weekend, and I will excerise...because I feel guilty.

Cheers to a happy peaceful Monday my FT sistahs!

  2. Someone once said to me "guilt is useless emotion". He's right. Don't waste your energy feeling guilty. It's in the past and there is not much you can do about it. So, forgive yourself and enjoy your new day! xo
