This cup is half full!!!!
Oh…Okay…Lets be honest…It was more than half full!!! Gadzooks!
Buddies…
Last night I met my “Girls”. There are three of us.
You know those girls…Most of us have them…We have been together for ten years. Met through a former employer. As different as night and day, been through marriages, divorces, re-marriages, babies, the war (One of them had a son over there for a year!), job changes, etc…
And somehow, we have managed to remain close. We try hard to get together once a month at least. Last night was the night. I got the impromptu call on Tuesday to meet at our favorite Mexican place.
Now. I planned for it. Saved my calories. Etc.
But, what did I do??
Due to a VERY stressful work day, as soon as I got there I ordered a beer, and started eating the chips and pico de gallo…UGH…
Why?
I could not stop…Seriously…
I was on automatic pilot…Hand to basket. Finger to chip. Chip to mouth. Chewed up chip to belly…”Hello chip, I am belly…Nice to meet you…Wheres your buddy salsa??”
On and on…
Now. thats all I had for dinner…So there is that…
But, when I got home buddies. I was MISERABLE. I mean, I felt like I had eaten two Thanksgiving dinners. I wanted to blog about that feeling last night, but I was TOO FULL TO BLOG…
Egads!!
I hate that feeling now. Its sooo foreign to me, because in all honesty, I just dont over eat like that much now days…I used ot have that feeling DAILY almost…
Now, when I get it, I HATE IT. I want to die. I never want to eat again…
And it takes sooo little now days to get there…
I used to be able to pack away the food peeps…Really!
Now, even when I want too, I cant…
Sure, I ate three tons of chips last night, but back in the day, i would have eaten that PLUS dinner…
UGH…
Its soooo funny some of the changes that occur when you arent even looking on this journey…
That full feeling used to bring me comfort…
Now it brings me misery…
UGH…
Well, I am off today for my trip to Florida…Will be MIA until Monday…I am happy to report I look super cute today…I think the boyfriend will approve!!
Good luck to all my buddies and a special shout out to my Pink Ladies!!
Rock those scales girls!!!
Ya know, I think it takes those moments every once in a while to remind us of what we dont want anymore. And it could have been worse. You are doing great! Have a SUPER trip!!
that was me last night with some chicken lo mein…
until I was staring at the bottom of the box…saying…did I really eat all of that?
felt like a big fat buddah…
and I think the msg was making me feel weird too.
Was at work too…and kept going to see what kindov candy others had at their desks…
guess I thought it was halloween???
have a great time!
Yes. Thats EXACTLY how I felt…Like a big fat buddah and I too wondered why I had done that??
It CERTAINLY gave me no pleasure…
It was mindless eating at its best…
Hope you have a great trip this weekend! Don’t worry too much about the chips. I’m sure you’ll work ‘em off with all the walkin you’re gonna be doing!!
I hear ya, I sure can’t eat what I used to!
And it doesn’t take much to make me feel awful!
But I am glad I changed that way, good reminder, huh!
You have a great one!
I am the same way, can’t pack away food like I used to be able to. Boy am I thankful for that!!! LOL
Have a most awesome weekend!
Ahhhh, progress–it’s the best—I wish it wasn’t so difficult for us to see it when we insist on beating ourselves up!! Have a great time in Flo-rida!
Don’t beat yourself up for the little slip up. If you are feeling out of control, try this weight loss guide that I found. It really helps me stay focused and conquer those mini-goals that are so important to reaching the ultimate goal…a healthy lifestyle.
