I am sooo angry and disappointed with myself!

M@M@2four :

First off...

I don't normally post on weight issues, but wanted to tell you that you're not alone! My borther and sis-in-law have used weght watchers in the past and lost weight. They just recently purchased new weight watchers meals and were saying that they are GAINING weight on the food. They are exercising, eating smalll quanitities, etc. They just think there's something in the new meals that might be causing them to gain. So, they returned the food and have been losing weight ever since, just by exercising and watching their food intake. Don't beat yourself up! You look amazing! You have overcome so many things in your life...you can overcome this!!! Good luck!!!

I'd never eat a programs frozen meals/snacks as the main foods..they are much too high in sodium!

I did it without their meals...WW is all about eating healthy in right proportions; however they do bank
on ppl who wont/cant cook and thats why they have those frozen meals etc..

glad they are losing again!​

This right here is the key to losing weight and keeping it off. I still have about 40 lbs. to go myself, but I have lost 63 over three years and not a single lb has creeped back on.

Focus on the healthy foods you love. As an example, I hate hate hate carrots and cauliflower, but I LOVE green beans and broccoli. I love ice cream and frozen yogurt makes a fabulous alternative. I also continue to eat butter and mayo, not that light garbage either!! I eat breakfast, usually a yogurt and piece of fruit, a LARGE lunch and I am rarely hungry at dinner.

Weight Watchers? That happened to me too when they first switched from the number of each group to the points.

I think part of my issue is I'm soooo bored at home..

I mean I can clean, cook, homeschool and run the business...but I'm mentally bored...
I miss my hubby when he's working overnight..so I get lonely...
I miss my hubby when he's sleeping during the day/eves..so i get lonely...

I compensate I think for being lonely by the need to eat..and I realize this; so I
eat a snack in the eves after he leaves...but I've always been a night owl..its never gonna change..
I'm NOT a morning person..Icant eat inthe a/ms..I am physically ill when I do..then if I do..I'm starving the
whole day...
if I dont eat til 1 or so..I'm golden..I'm good..
but therein lies the double edged sword...your body NEEDS for us to eat in the a/m for fuel/energy..

I know what I should do..I know what I need to do...I think I'm mentally sabatoging myself from being happy..
by focusing on how miserable I am when he works..and no..a change of careers/hours wont help..

he's home this wk..so it'll b better; but I'm so jacked up from the week he's working that it'll take me days to recover..
then it starts over again..

My aunt does things with her hands. Quilting, knitting, lace work...and when both hands are busy the snacks stay on the shelf. I would ask her how long it took to finish off her quilt and her reply was, "Two Frasers and an Ellen." I would wound myself trying to sew and watch TV at the same time. But I have decided that is where America adds the extra poundage. mindless snacking.
Find something that requires two hands to do.
I enjoy walking early when it is still cool. See if you can get a friend to get up early and walk with you. The miles move so much quicker when you are chatting away.

How about preparing a days worht of food & snacks and putting it on a tray in the frig., then throughout the day you can eat anything off the tray that fits your hunger of the moment. Overall, you will be getting the same amount of calories--just eating at the time your body needs food, not when the clock says "it's time to eat."

But you also need to focus on something other than missing your DH. Find things thta you enjoy doing, that keep your mind and body occupied, that get you out of the doldrums and focused on other things.

so after I said this...my Facebook "Messaqe from God" that posts on my page said this:

On this day of your life, Marshawn XXXXX, we believe God wants you to know ... that you are loved and you are not alone.
Even when you feel physically alone, know that you are surrounded by divine love. Like God, love is not visible, but that does not mean it is not there. You are loved.

I know..I KNOW its like a roulette wheel on these messages; but sometimes; they just hit right!

Now to ley my heart and mind feel/believe it...

Not then I really know anything, but it seems like your big change is the not going to Tikowdo.. Do you think there is something around home you can pick up? Do your kids do "track n feild?" Maybe you can pactice the sprint w'/ them or soccer. or whatever sports they may be intersted in. If I remember correctly you have a 5 yr/old. maybe a race around the park, who can climb and go down slid quickest? Something the kids enjoy, that you van too? I love reading your post about your family life/pickling.. And I know you can do it!!
