November 25 Day 1- no impulsive eating/spendingHi there!
Welcome to day 1 of my 30 day blog on getting "un addicted" to fast food. This is one major road block for me in my quest for acheiving a healthy balanced lifestyle!
Okay well I am kind of having a hard time thinking of what to write to make it interesting. Basically today went easier then I expected. I experienced several minor urges to go get fast food and then there were several times today that I felt very sad and down that I couldnt get the comfort food. However, the sadness it wasnt that bad and didnt last all that long.
This surprised me because usually I have more intense cravings... However it may help that I am still really excited about what this month is going to hold. And the potential that this blog will have for myself and so many people!
 Blessings to you all.My weight this morning was 148.5 ... I suppose I should take my blood pressure and blood sugar and record it daily as well.., but the blood sugar thing can vary so much and I dont have a blood pressure monitor. However, I had to go to see my doctor this morning and she said that my blood pressure was fine... That was a nice relief.
I added some loop holes to this expidtion so it wouldnt feel so extreme. I get access to the grocery store. If worse comes to worse i will buy something to eat at the grocery store that falls under the greasy/sugary or fattening comfort food category. Also, If someone else has fast food and buys me some I am allowing that too.. (For example, the family I babysit for a lot.. we often order pizza with dinner. There is NO WAY I am going to smell that yummy pizza and not eat it.. so if its already there... its free game! This may sound like a cop out .. .but really its encouraging moderation. We will see how it goes...
If I start hitting the streets with a sign saying "will work for Fast Food" Then I know I am in big trouble and will have to rework that little loop hole. LOL
 . So... long story short... I survived today. It should be interesting to see how it pans out. I have already grabbed a candy bar at the gas station but tried to even it out with a healthier carb... as well.
OH... For anyone who craves french fries... I have found an amazing alternative... thanks to my mom. She baked some small potatoes and then cut them up and fried them. DELICIOUS! and I am sure a whole lot healthier. I think she fried them in olive oil.. I need to ask her. I will let you all know as soon as I know.
I am hoping everyone is doing well and is looking forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving. Blessings to all!
Next Update: Tomorrow :O) 11/26/08
November 24 taming my impusive behaviors... 30 day blog (INTRO)Hello Readers:
I dont know why... well I have a few guesses as to why.. that my impulsive eating and impulsive spending have shot up like a launched rocket lately. It is stressing me out that this is getting worse and yet I turn to it when I get overwhelmed or start feeling defeated. So, its time I tried to break this vicious cycle. Especially since it has gotten out of hand lately. At the McDondalds Drive through today.. I heard myself say...." no more after today.. you can go crazy today but tommorow no more fast food for a month! and no more buying things you dont need either!" I cant tell you all how many times I say that.. and the next day find myself in the same situation with hopes that tomorrow will be different. It usually is unsuccessful.
I thought of that guy who ate all his meals at McDonalds for a month and made a video documentary. I thought... Hey it would be neat to document the ups and downs of coming off this addiction or impulsive something or other. It may help me stick to my plan to get control of these impulsive behaviors. So here is my shot at this.. I am hoping I can find some information that will help me later on as I write down this blog as I experience it. I hope other people can find help or support in it as well. If it helps me change my behaviors then I will be pleased as punch! I hope is that this blog becomes well read and that many people will find peace/ comfort/ support/ understanding about an unhealthy coping mechanicsm that so many people struggle with!
Please Spread this around to your friends and family or anyone who may be interested. Also I welcome your comments, suggestions and stories as well. :o)
Thanks!
Starting tomorrow I will refrain from buying any fastfood for a month. I will also refrain from impulsive purchasing. Especially Webkinz! (yes.. Webkinz).. I will explain that in more detail later. :O) There was a "method to my madness" so to speak... it just backfired! January 28 Talking about Disabled Dog Needs A HomeI want this dog so bad! My heart goes out to the sweet endearing pup. Oh Wiggles, I would give you all the love in the world! You are adorable! And you will be just fine! I am sending prayers that you find a loving home. I would adopt you if I had the money and the space.. but I dont right now. You are so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Disabled Dog Needs A Home If I was pregnant... before you consider an abortionI made a baby ticker so everyone can see how even in the youngest days the fetus is still very much alive.
Please consider adoption before abortion. My birth mother did. And she is my hero.
If you have already aborted your child and need help dealing with the emotions, please get help and support. You deserve it! :o) Plus your baby's spirit would want the best for you :o).
God Bless! Let me know if I can offer up prayers for you or anyone struggling with this or any difficult decision.
Here is my baby ticker:
