Emotional eating

Ok I need to vent..For some reason today, I have been just snacking, snacking, snacking! I had a craving for some chocolate..so I ate a nestle crunch bar( I love the thin mint...girl scout limited flavor). I generally only eat 1/2 of the bar...I ate the entire bar! It has 16 grams of sugar in it....did it make me sick? No! A little bit later on...I wanted some Funyuns...did I eat them? Of course, I did! I generally refrain from eating them because they give me gas. Today, they did not!  As I reflect over today, WHY did I felt the need to eat the junk food? I had received some bad news and I guess that was my  emotions kicking in...instead of my brain... Was I hungry? Nope! sure wasn't! I
felt the need to be honest with you..I always am willing to share my ups and downs of my journey...emotional eating is real and it is one of the demons that I constantly battle with. Tomorrow is a new day...and I am going to be conscience of my emotions and not turn to food for comfort... Whew! I am glad I got that out!

 It’s year 13 and I must pause to reflect, refocus, and keep moving forward.  Every year around this time I reflect upon how my gastric bypass has changed my life. Has it always been easy? “NOPE”‼️. However, I will continue to put one foot in the front of the other one and continue to move forward‼️

Lately my favorite veggie has been zucchini squash and yellow squash. I take  a little bit of olive oil,a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and sauté it... Yummy! I take the squash,and I put it in half cup containers. Therefore, I have my Veggies prepped for the week. Do you meal prep? It save me a lot of time, and also assist me in making healthy choices.

Weight gain

This week I have been off track, eating out due to vacation, not limiting portion sizes, not drinking all of my decaffeinated tea, coffee, and water. So this morning, I got up drank 8 ounces of water, took my vitamins, and headed to the gym. I am going to call this: # operation HELL no move that scale!!!! I have gained 5 pounds! I am sure is water and sodium retention! However, I am back on track. I will: drink at least 64 oz of water, up my protein intake, get in all my vitamins, and measure my portions. I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
