Binged again today. Ate taco chips because:
Ironically, I am wearing my skinny jeans today... and my arms look way better. I also signed up for a gym I really like so I can do yoga there every day to strengthen my neck, reduce headaches and get back to work. Farewell Classpass. I also mostly ate healthy.
How I am getting my head out of my butt and back to “normal”:
Progress as of today: 100.7 lbs lost so far, only 56.3 lbs to go!
I binged yesterday... I had a giant chocolate chip cookie. Later I had chocolate almonds. Then before bed I had a trader joe’s frozen dinner.
I was at the cafe below my gym when I had the cookie. I ate the cookie because:
At least eating the cookie made it possible to go through paperwork and bust my hump till they closed at 2:30. That place is awesome. They have a takeaway fridge full of meals I can actually have and in quantities I can have them. Except nothing like 2 cups of broccoli to round out a meal so I ate the cookie because my stretch receptors weren’t happy.
I ate the chocolate almonds because I got home at about 4 and I was just exhausted. Like a dead fish. Plus the amount of work that drowns me the minute i pull into the driveway is enormous and overwhelming.
I ate the frozen dinner because I was still hungry after dinner. I made up what I had bought for Easter dinner... Salmon, green beans and sweet potatoes. I had a single serving but it didn’t “hold” and make me feel like I could go to sleep.

We all have our days where the cookie thing is just going to happen and THAT'S OK. We shouldn't make ourselves feel bad for having a treat no matter what the reason is. Yesterday, I was so overdone from the weekend that I took three naps and ate whatever I wanted. That's how it goes. I'm not going to worry about it, instead i'll just move forward and do my best today. Just like every day!
I got a cliff builder bar in peanut butter/chocolate instead of the cookie today though!
maybe drink more water.
Weight 223.8 (down another pound!), bodyfat 37%... down a whole percentage point! But the shocker was that even though I am heavier, I lost a whole inch from neck to calves... like I peeled off a rubber suit. It certainly explains why I am moderately less dying of heat all the time. Still too hot all the time, but I’m not gasping.
Yesterday I binged on 73% dark chocolate almonds... but was exhausted and didn’t write down why. Will get another chance to today I am sure, lol.
Stronger and stronger one brick at a time.
Today’s motivational pin...

nice job on moderately keeping on...stronger and stronger the more you keep at it! keep at it!
On the other hand, there are worse foods to binge on. If you gave to go over the top, at least it had done nutritional value... so, not a defeat. Today is a new day.
224.8! down a lb and only 8 lbs up from plateau weight!!!! I was rewarded for logging instead of binging! What a great discovery for a holiday about rebirth.

This is definitely a rebirth for you!
I'm so proud of you for last night!!!!!!!
Feeling ready to binge and I don’t want to destroy the progress I made this week. So I will log here instead. I weighed in at 225.4 this AM and am good to go to yoga tomorrow at 9am. I want to go to yoga 5x a week... rest on wednesday and saturday. It will get myneck in good shape and help me get off the flexeril. It makes me extra tired and I don’t like it.
I want to binge because:
Putting all of that here helps. Time to take a sleep aid and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day.

i don't understand your photo??
also, nice job getting back on track! so proud of you!!!
Horn - the meme's point is that if you put forth your best effort, then that is all you can do. You might not win the "official" price - you still might be voted off the island - but at least you gave it your best effort, and that in itself is the real prize.
Oh my word, this is so inspirational - thank you!
Happy - I'm so glad that you talk about doing yoga. I've really got to try that for myself... I don't know why I'm struggling with taking this step.
231.
Inching back to fitness in the middle of a 3-way family crisis. Progress:
onwards and upwards.

Happy, lovely progress!!!! :) you are prepared for awhile and did a lot of really nice self-help things!
Hugs to all. Managed to get 4 yoga classes, a haircut, back on eating pattern, a couple of snack bags of veggies prepped, a doc visit, a support group night, and some away from the house spaceout time as my acts of self care. Trying to figure out how I can manage to get a break.
Progress as of today: 100.7 lbs lost so far, only 56.3 lbs to go!
ahhh, you motivate me to get stuff done and get my own act together!!
Yep, you need a break. I'm glad to hear you've got a support group(s) and at least have self-care on your mind as an option. Some folks don't even go there, unfortunately.
One foot in front of the other. My self care action for tonight was to give up on my mom and making sure she was good for the night and just go to bed on time at 9pm. She was being rude and difficult so I just walked away, got her a nightgown and some sheets, threw them on the bed, and told her to check her own blood sugar, temperature, drink the gatorade, put her own sheets on the bed and good luck I'm going to bed. 9:10 now. In bed with earplugs, lights out, dog walked and fed.
Plan for tomorrow:
Doing another calendar micromanagement session... Hopefully it sets up a routine for a home health worker to follow. Debating getting Alexa in every room of the house... Bug all of us to stay on task.
My super hot kickboxing hunky boyfriend sent me this... I said I feel the same way about getting him in another jacuzzi suite with mirrors on the ceiling.
And it was also a little weird because I definitely don't feel beautiful right now. I'm running myself ragged chasing after my parents health appointments. Wiped.

I'm super lucky to have him. He's great.
i'm really sorry to hear of the cancer / congestive heart failure. those are really big issues. sending you warm thoughts.
TY. Hugs. It's a rough deal for sure, but we are trying to pull together as a family.
Did best effort again today. Did a better job of keeping my word immaculate. And the other 2 agreements fell in somewhere between the first 2.
Got mom to eat almost a normal amount of food today. It was a lot of work. Also cleaned the kitchen and did a grocery run.
Made it back to yoga sunday morning. Missing it Monday morning. Dad had an anxiety attack at 12am. It's getting to be a routine
225.6 getting super fat again.

can dad take a xanax? i'm serious...
i hope everyone feels better.
remember to take care of you first, you are young and have a full life ahead of you.
Try to take care of yourself as best as you can. I can't imagine how hard this is for you. Your strength and endurance are amazing to me.

Great job losing 100.7! It's easy to overeat when we are stressed...I had a mini stress/ food episode today too.......It does make me wonder why food is a stress reliever...when we already know it will stress us out even more....Wish it wasn't all so difficult.
“Food is complicated” as my nutritionist says... We’re dealing with the lizard brain.

P.S. spent Sunday with a brother in law with chemo brain....it is a "thing"...he brings it up often and so does D's sister...she looks pained.....i swear it is as hard on the immediate family as it is the sick one.....Hang in there.
This is why shows like “90 day fiancé” and others exist... get your mind off the horror
Horn_of_plenty on 04/24/2019:
you are doing great picking yourself back up. try to see about buyinng a few more healthy snacks / seltzers low cal things so when you get that munchy feeling, you don't have to eat chips only ;) despite it all, you are being very proactive and doing a good job, Happy!

Although it may not feel like it, I see you doing a remarkable job with coping with an extremely difficult situation.
(((hugs))(

I like 90 day fiancee too.....it appears that for the most part they are self destructing though. Culture differences are a bear!
