Y'all...words of discouragement please
| Fri, 07-30-2004 - 1:52pm |
I need words of DIScouragement, if y'all will. I have to stop eating my junk food. I have had another epiphany of I cannot gain back all the weight I lost, and I need y'all to discourage me from doing it, and what are some things I can think of when I am about to eat that french fry or that slice of pizza? Shawna!! HELP MEE!! I know that SOME of you will be "We can't make you do it." Well, I don't want to hear that so don't say that to me or i will comeback with a nasty--just give me advice, positive negative advice and thoughts please! Thanks

Besides I wouldnt want to walk around with a slice of pizza hanging off the strings of my bikini therefore I JUST SAY NO!
hehe. Easier said than done.
When you want pizza CALL me I will give you my # and I will tell you how yucky it is.
Hang in there doll we all do it.
Good luck! I know the crazed junk food monster all to well.

Also, if you've ever been in a gym and watched the calorie counter on an elliptical machine, notice how SLOW it goes. 10 minutes of all out exercise wiht high resistance on the elliptical burns all of 120 calories. A piece of pizza is what, 800? When I think about how gross I'd feel after eating junk food, and how much exercise I'd need to burn it off, I immediately think twice.
Thats when I say to myself if I want something. STEP AWAY FROM THE PIZZA.
I do treat myself once a week to something I have been craving after I weigh in of course on Thursday nights. A treat to keep me on track.
I know you cant reward with food, but at almost 300 #s when I started I obviously love food so I allow myself to have a treat so I can actually stay on program sometimes knowing Thursday night I can have something helps me stay focused the rest of the week.
Ok, now imagine that someone has peed all over the fries and pizza sitting in front of you. It still looks the same, smells the same, and tastes the same...yet it still has been peed on. Do you still want to eat it??
Depending on how bad your cravings are you might have to imagine something worse than pee, LOL!
Seriously though, I totally agree with what Erin said. I don't deny myself stuff I really like to eat, I'll go ahead and have it if I am really wanting it, but at the same time I know what foods are my triggers. For example I can indulge in a slice of pizza once in a while and be totally fine, but sit a bag of chocolate in front of me and I'll eat the whole thing and want to run out and buy more. So, I avoid my trigger foods as much as possible. I also do the waiting 20 or 30 mins thing. I try to get my mind occupied on something else during that time so I'm not just sitting obsessing for 30 minutes about the food I want.
Good luck and hang in there!!
