Yes, I ate the entire box

[whatagem]

Hi all...bored & lonley. Husband at night school. He took last week off from school & I am readjusting to his not being home at night. My job is very noisy; house very quite. Pets are sleeping. TV is blaring for noise. Stupid baseball went into extra innings. I coud be watching The Office thank you.

We went to my parents this past weekend so husband could fix a leak under the house. My mom forced me onto the scale. 106. I can't remember when I weighed that last. She's ALWAYS saying "you've lost weight!" even when a person has gained. Mom thinks it will make me & my sister feel good about ourselves.

Know what made me feel good tonight? A freshly open box of Special K chocatley delight. It's my replacement for potato chips. Usually I can eat a LOT if I am not paying attention. Before I knew it, I'd eaten the entire box. Never did that before.

Well, there was a handful left. I estimate 1200 calories. About 2 hrs before bed. Not feeling so good. Feel very sleepy and bloated! Stomach full, bad taste in my mouth. I used to eat an entire bag (full size, 9oz) of Cheetos--in ONE sitting-- so I guess it could be worse.

Mom used to be full blown anorexic. I used to be a fatty. My sister and I have yo-yoed all our lives. Understandably, we have "healthy" relationships with food. HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!
It's love-hate relationship.

Ugh. I'm gonna pay for this in the morning. Good thing my work station is near the toilet.

Think I'll have a bit of steamed veggies for supper tomorrow. I have to go to bed now. I may be slipping into a diabetic coma due to all the sugar in the cereal.


Anyone else with a "healthy" reelationship with food? I'd love for ya to weigh in on this while I sleep this off. Personally, I haven't binged like this in a long while. I feel so awful physically, I now remember why.

At least when I used to do this to myself it was after cleaning out a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet. Mmmmmm, chinese food!
No, no. I made myself feel terrible over cereal. How lame is that?

YES! I am in love with food! Unfortunatly, it doesn't love me back. I have to give heed to what goes in my mouth..diabtes is a bit unforgiving.
I try not to get too hungrey or I will have a bite of this and pinch of that..until I have eaten myself into a stupor!
On the other hand I will also "forget" to eat. My sugar drops and I am in danger of diabetic shock. Then I try to make up for it! Geeze...talk about a roller coaster.
When I do eat the way I am supposed to, vaping is enough of a snack for me. Then my sugar levels are nice and low but not in the dangerous range.

My mother-in-law does that--gets busy forgets to eat. We've had to wake her up a few times from her sugar getting too low. The last time my husband's sister was so freaked out & mom-in-law began eating regularly. She still has to take shots & rows & rows of pills though. It's never been under control.

I've been trying real hard to eat right but living in America makes it so hard (laughs) My cousin taught me how to cook steamed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) & how to season them to make them taste good. It's a start I suppose. Of course when husband is home from school we go back to pizza & hamburgers!
I feel like I should spoil him since he doesn't eat right on those days when he's juggling work & school. We're both candidates for heart attacks I'd bet

I also get too busy to eat but just a glance at food puts 5 pounds on me I swear. Actually I think it is watching hubby eat I swear he eats his body weight in food daily and gains no weight he is just blessed like that don't worry ladies I already told him how much we hate him for it.

 

[whatagem]

HA HA!! My husband and his dad exact smae way. His father would eat three helpings at dinner each & every night. He had a slight old man gut but had never been fat (he also passed from a heart attack :-( BUT he also smoked 3 packs a day and drank 3 gallons of coffee every day of his adult life)

My husband eats THE worst foods & skinny as a rail. Underweight actually....
What gets me is that I incorporate fruits & veggies into my gut regularly; I eat fiber-one yogurt, I drink green tea and take vitamins & yet my stomach hurts so much ALL the time from constipation. And him? Oh he's a man--he's quite regular & you could set your watch by him.

So unfair!

I absolutely LOVE food... but I'm terrible about eating (self-employed and work alone.. so eating breakfast/lunch by myself never sound like much fun) until it comes dinner time.. then I totally pig out 8-o

Oh... and I also have a hubby that eats his weight in food everyday.. and never gains weight... I just hate it!

I forget to eat during the day a LOT. I generally don't eat until dinner and that is only because I tend to feed others, lol.

 

[whatagem]

I tend to do that. I don't even realize I'm hungry when I'm at work (thought I deal in a lot of nasty) so when I get home & clean up I'm absolutely starving...and then the cereal vanishes!
I started making a small sandwich & cutting it in half & I would eat it whether I was hungry or not to stave off the starving mode. Sometimes I make myself eat a banana in the morning....When husband is home, I cook & we sit together for a meal & I'm completely fine.
Maybe I'm using food to replace my husband's absense Good thing it's only 3 nights a week!

guess for me food taste better when someone else cooks it lol just seems too much work when it's just me to bother.. But my husband loves to dabble in the kitchen when he is home and he enjoys his 3 meals a day... I usually gain about 10lbs when he is home for 30 days lol..... he likes all the good stuff, like egg bacon and pancakes, ruben sandwiches, home made chillie and stuff... Me lol just some days there is nothing better then a pickle/mayo sandwich ... very very sad lol...8-o

 

[whatagem]

Yeah, if it's just me--I ain't cookin'! Sometimes I make extra when cooking dinner & freeze it. I get in moods though--sometimes I love to cook & experiment, other times I hate it and dread it. Mostly dread the clean up HA HA

BTW food DOES taste better when someone else cooks. Even if you make EXACTLY the same, it just tastes better!

 

[Mary Kay]

It tastes even better when someone else cleans up!

 

[Crankyfuzz]

It tastes the best when someone cooks and cleans it up wow I need a houseboy lol
