I just want to know.... when will I ever learn? Last night I was home
alone for dinner (both DH and DS were working) and, although I could
have eaten something sensible that I already had in the house, I stopped
for some hot and sour soup (which is okay) which lead to a combo plate.
All fried stuff. Indigestion all night. And this morning *I* am
feeling like the stuffed turkey. I'm not lamenting it because of Points
or calories, but because in this IE journey I am getting to know my
body and what it will and will not tolerate. Why did I think that THIS
would be the one time I could eat this and NOT be sick? Actually, I
think, it's because as I am eating cleaner and in less quantities it
takes less and less to make me sick if it's the "wrong" food. When I
think back to the quantities of this type of food I could eat with NO
consequences it's no wonder, I guess, that I was lead to believe it
wouldn't bother me.
I'm not beating myself up except that I feel like I am dragging
myself this morning - I don't even want to shower and dress - and I so
looked forward to going to my DD's today ... do you think I could go
unshowered, smelly and in my jammies? Do you think anyone will notice? I
bet if I do they will all be wishing they had the courage to do the
same thing!
I'm trying to be gentle on myself, moving slowly, savoring my coffee
(I don't think I could eat) - maybe by noon I'll perk up a bit! lol lol
Sigh.............
Miriam, I've done the same more than once...and my regrets were similar to yours. I also FELT terrible and SLEPT terribly! I do have to be mindful of not only what I eat, but also what time I eat, and of course, how much I eat! Otherwise, I pay the consequences...
ReplyDeleteHope the rest of your holiday weekend went well!
Oops - forgot to say that I've FINALLY revived my blog!!! I am calling it "a new beginning" as well...
