Good Thoughts Kill Diet
Doesn’t seem like that would be the case, but it has been. I have only been “bad” monday and tueday. My thinking fluctuates. First, I am exhausted, tired, and hurting from Crohn’s symptoms. I lose a little bit of blood a day, but I do that every day. It makes me very weak sometimes so that going to the gym is not even worth it.
Instead of being down on myself, I thought positively. “Hey, you are not obesese. You look fine. There are other people who are not as pretty as you (this sound vain but I’m not). You should love your body the way it is…..”
So, I abandoned weight loss diet (on a Crohn’s diet for life), and as a result I probably gained back a lbs or two. I am too scared to weigh myself. So, it’s Wednesday. I have three days to get myself back on track, feel clean and good for the weekend when I will be going to see my friend.
I’m dying here, guys… I can’t find the right motivation to get through the hunger pangs and temptations. It hasn’t clicked that two cookies every afternoon add up over a week. In that moment, all I want is the cookie. results take too long. I am impatient. I figure if yesterday was SO HARD, why can’t I see a little light today. No light. Not for a while. But if I keep doing what I’m doing, I’ll keep looking like I’m looking and feeling like I’m feeling.
Biggest problem: night time snacking. I feel like crap in the morning if I eat at night, but it’s the hardest bad habit I have. I feel so defeated. I have to get my eating under control because Crohn’s wont let me work out like I had been. Not good feelings right now. Not good at all.

You sound exactly the way I have been feeling for 2 weeks. I am sorry about the Crohn’s. I am sure it is very hard to deal with. You can do this! Try just one cookie for a few days. Is walking an easy thing for you. Take small walks morning and evening? Don’t give up! Tomorrow will be better! Marge
oh, it is so hard when you don’t see the changes or the signs or to constantly remind yourself what you want. i am a night time snacker, too, and have recently begun to change the pattern. it helps me to get into bed earlier and cut out TV. one night, too, I decided I had to choose between popcorn or wine. Just that little choice saved me some calories and felt empowering without being limiting.
Weight loss takes a lot of patience. I am not a patient person either but just think what it’s going to feel like when you start seeing the results. The patience will pay off. You are a beautiful girl and you can do this!
