I have been doing the treadmill on my lunch breaks 4 days a week. I notice my clothes are much looser, but the scale is slow moving. I am okay with that. It goes up and down during the week. I just record today's weight and measurements. I feel good.
I am growing used to getting full quickly, and learning not to eat fast. I still find it difficult to drink enough water in a day. I may still have issues with sleep apnea and have an appt next week at the Kaiser sleep clinic to find out if I do. As well as looking into getting the Combi Patch", to help make me a nicer person while I go through peri-menopause.
The hormone imbalance is crazy and it certainly plays with my stress and emotional eating triggers. I have only one trigger food that is my go to when I can't deal with the world and that is CHOCOLATE. Milk Chocolate. I don't need much to fix what is ailing me, Once I eat it, I do feel better, but I do feel sort of out of control when I do. I don't feel a sugar addiction, but it could be something like that I feel when the sugar hits my bloodstream. It is a drug. It feels like a drug.
I don't overeat chocolate, but I go through cravings that feel out of control, and that concerns me. This video helped me get a better understanding at what I could possibly be beginning to experience.
Part of what happens for me in my personal life long dieting insanity is that when I deprive myself of any food, I begin to trigger the old dieting Eat, Repent, Repeat Cycle. The mindful eating course I took really helped me understand this part. I still struggle with the deprivation at times in the mornings during a 16/8 fasting protocol session. I only do it when I need to break through a long weight loss stall.
I love food, I love to taste things. I also want to live a normal life. I am half way through my Honeymoon phase in this VSG Post-op journey. I still think this was the best decision I have ever made. The hardest part of this is psychological.
