Yesterday was my first day that I have had control in my eating and emotions for at least 6 months… I feel like this is a good time for me to be good to me and get my emotions and eating under control.. I will be home from work for  the next 12 or so weeks.. Exercising is not easy for me right now, but I did ask my dr, if i could work on the elliptical and he said if I use my common sence and not do it fast and with the arms.. I have set a goal of doing 5-10 min sessions 4-5 times a day and that seems to be working… I took the time to cook my self some good meals yesterday and today and that seems to help also.. When Im working if I dont take the time to make and eat my meals on time, I end up binging on all the food Im cooking for my residents..  I have the time now, so I looking at it as a good time…. I am such an emotional eater..  I did WW for quite some time so I am incorporating some of the good recipes in to my eating… I made a good crustless pumpkin pie last night and it was awsome.  WW has alot of good recipes expecially from www.dwlz.com

Have a wonderful day,. I love this sight it has such good people and motivation….

This being my new begining I have done pretty well so far.. I noticed that my calories all seem to be coming from carbs, that worries me, but I cant seem to eat meat as much lately since my surgery, I made my husband steak tips and they so didnt taste well to me, so I just had the veggies and rice and a small bagel with LF cream cheese.  I made a ww pumpkin crustless pie for later that will be a good snack with good fiber, (something I need with all these narcotics.).. I managed to do 30 mins on the elliptical today, I had to do it in sessions because of my spine situation, I cant use the handles but I can use the rest of it.  Better than nothing, I cant use my arms until after Dec 1 when My collar will get weaned off along with some of the medicine…. I feel much more in control today than I have in a long time so thats good….I use hypnosis tapes when Im doing my best they seem to keep me grounded and at least my sub conscience lets me know when I shouldnt be eating something or if I am eating it for the wrong reason….. Im glad I found this sight, I have been looking for just this program…. Have a good night everyone

well Here I am again, upset with myself and turning to food to make me feel better,  Well today I am going to get back to loving myself..  I had spine surgery 6 weeks ago and I am used to cooking for 80 people in my occupation as a chef for a nursing home.. I am now layed up for 16-20 weeks, wearing a neck brace for 12 of those weeks.  I guess I am half way there but if I keep up the way I am going I am going to gain lots of weight.. I have been overweight most of my life childhood and adult, but have lost 120 pounds in the last 5 years, but have found about 40 of it back,, I can not continue….. I know what to do and how to do it. I just have to do it…. being in a brace had made me give up and just eat, as of today I am going to learn how to deal with the frustration and continue to find some way to burn a few calories… For some reason either because of the medicine or pain, my appetite has not been that great for the past week, but of course I still eat.. the foods that are tasting good to me are sandwiches and starch items, maybe because of the pills.  I have been on my elyptical for 10 mins today, Im trying to do 5 at a time as not to hurt myself and it should all add up….  This is my first blog and I am sorry its not making much sence right now but it will as time goes on, I just had to blog today
