Default Food and Exercise 11/08/04

Breakfast - (at a restaurant to wrap up sleepover)
2 eggs (was served 3)
1 1/2 slices rye toast (served 2)
2 slices of bacon (was served 4)
100g source yogurt

Lunch - (at 89yr old friend's)
2 toast (the processed stuff, ugh)
2 slices tomatos
4 fig newtons
Tea

Dinner - 1 cup spaghetti (leftover italian from sleepover)
2 dinner rolls with margarine
a few nibbles on roasted chicken (1 ounce or less)


After dinner breakdown. Had family mini crisis, got very upset, lots of
yelling, sore throat, exausted didn't think. Felt awful afterwards. I'm
cured for awhile. It was still much less than I would have normally eaten.
I was looking for something to make me feel better (happier) but it really
was a bad thing. I'm not sure how I'd tackle that again. I do know it
wouldn't be with food.

1 tbsp neopolitan crap ice cream
2 crap swiss rolls
2 little debbies crap cakes
2 strawberry crap cookies

Exercise - mowing front and back lawn with pushmower at 89yr old friend's.
Water - 2 ltrs

Total calorie count not even counted. Before junk food meltdown 1335, after
meltdown, not sure. Didn't count it. Didn't feel the need to do that to
myself.

Old habits are hard to break but not impossibleg Maybe you could
substitute a long walk, bubble bath, etc for the food next time you're
feeling the stress. I love soaking in a hot tub with lots of bath oil when
I've had a bad day. The only thing I hate is trying to clean the tub after
these oil bathsg

Sorry you had this upsetting event, Cp -- hope things have settled
down now. One thought: Do you need to keep these foods in your house?
They probably aren't really essential for your kids, but maybe your
husband likes them? If possible, it might be easier to just not have
things like this available to turn to when you're upset. Another
thought: It might be good to think now -- or maybe in a day or two
when this is further behind you -- how you would handle a similar
situation in the future.

As you indicated, though, it doesn't sound like you really abandoned
caution entirely. Which is good :-).

An even worse thing is the Aveeno Oatmeal Bath stuff, which leaves
yucky gray clumps in the tub!

Some comments. I like that you're thinking about *why* you turned to
food and what need it was filling and how you can fill it otherwise. I
think the mood pick-me-up is why I keep a stash of dark chocolate in the
house. I buy the large bar and just break off a chunk or two when I
need it. I call it my "medicinal chocolate."

I agree with Chris in questioning why you even had all that crap food in
the house. I've got some very stale Fig Newtons in the kid's snack
cupboard, but even with three small children in the house and a husband
whose got a sweet tooth we don't have anything resembling what you
knoshed on. Just dump it all is my advice. Those things are "eating
for entertainment" and there's certianly no problem for the slender
people doing that, but we don't have to let them do it at home!

Another mood altering thing I do - sometimes I'll grab a glass of wine
and go sit by myself. This works for me because I don't have a problem
with alcohol. (I do this maybe once a month.) I hesitate to tell you
to pick up drinking, but it really does relax me somewhat.

I'm looking into hormone replacement therapy to help with mood swings,
too. Losing all the fat I've lost (and you to) has had an unpleasant
effect on my estrogen levels I suspect. I haven't had them tested, but
I seem to have been thrown solidly into perimenopause. It turns out all
that fat was DOING something in my body - producing estrogen. I don't
know your hormonal landscape, but you might want to do some reading up
on this, too.

Miserable for you, but they do say that carbohydrates produce serotonin
in the brain and make a good emergency tranquilliser for that reason.
But you do seem to have kept things in control, and I'm impressed!
Maybe you could keep an emergency stash of non-crap sweet foods - a
fruit cake, or good-quality ice-cream (perhaps home-made) - in the deep
freeze, so that when things go pear-shaped, you have something you can
eat that will help without feeling too awful about it afterwards? And
do you need to keep the biscuits and cakes in the house? If your family
want them, could another family member be charged with keeping them out
of your line of sight? Or, better still, could they be banned as "crap
food" that you don't want your family eating?

Yes those are definite possibilities. The problem was more that there were
two of us in that mood (my sister and I). I think left to my own I may have
had the ice cream and be done with it.

My daughter loves baths with bath beads (she's got dry skin so I don't mind
her having them) and yes that ring around the tub.. UGH! I've gotten into
more relaxing baths. It used to be just bubbles but now I've begun adding
bath salts as well. Feels luxurious.

Yes things have settled down. Those things are not kept in the main kitchen
(we sort of have two) and they aren't even around for the kids. They're
around for my sister's husband (incase this is new, we live together). He
uses the sweets as food to take with his pills (he has absolutely no weight
problem, 17%BF). We've offered him other things like cheese and crackers
but he insists he needs the sweets. In fact he's brought in pecan tarts as
well!! I stay away from those by mentally saying that they belong to him. I
would never eat someone elses foods oddly enough.

I'm not sure how I would handle it again. The cup of tea I had with it all
seemed to help more than anything. I think just being constantly reminded
that it makes me feel crap is good. Also not keeping it readily available
(those crap snacks were part of BIL's stash). I'll have to ponder better
solutions some more.

Thanks for the encouragement btw

Alcohol has never been my thing. If drink anything it's usually hard liquor
in the form of fruity drinks ie. long island ice teas, daquiris. I've never
liked wine, hate beer. My problem has always been food. Don't smoke either
btw. A nice glass of ice tea could help though. A lot less damage as well.
Temporary sugar rush but with only 1/3 or the calories that the crap (and
might I add I didn't enjoy the stuff even). I think that might be what I
try next time.

As I told Chris, the crap is in the house because of my BIL. Unfortunately
I have no control over it in the house. It does stay in the upstairs
kitchen though. Out of sight, out of mind. Actually because of problems
with the 13yr old in the house stealing the junk, it's now been put in a bin
in BIL's bedroom. Honestly though, I've learned so much from that little
episode that I don't think I'd turn to that crap again. I'm finding that
when I crave sweets it's usually a pie or cake or premium ice cream. None
of which is in the house.

As far as hormonal. I wouldn't think so but anything and everything is
possible. I'm only 30 and periods and things (aside from a few growing
cramps) are as normal. What I do find now with the weight loss is that my
back has suddenly started being sensitive and I get the hip pain similar
with sciatica every now and then. It almost makes me think being fat was
better.
