Sleeve Truth

AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Previous Post Next Post
It seems like maintenance is easier when things are going well, but this month (February 2023) has been very trying for me personally and I have noticed some of my old habit creep back up. The fact that I am aware of them and this pattern makes me hopeful that I will take control and change things for the better. 

I am under a lot of stress since my husband was hospitalized. His blood pressure was so high that he was on a verge of having a stroke. We luckily came to the hospital just in time. Thankfully, he is doing better but this gave us all a huge fright. He has drastically improved his eating, and I feel like that should have been motivating to continue with my own good eating habits, but for some reason I have been overeating on all the wrong things! Food has always been my escape and when I am under stress or scared, I eat and feel better. Except now, I am eating and thinking that I am feeling better but in reality I am not and I am feeling guilty and actually sad that I am allowing myself to get back to the overeating phase. 

I think I needed to write this to hold myself accountable (as always) and remind myself that I have the tools and skills, and I just need to get back to my healthy eating pattern. I lost a total of 182lbs and I have regained this year (January and February) about 25lbs. That number actually scares me, because it's not just a few pounds. 

I need to be able to take the stressors of life, like my husband's health conditions and work-related stress, and deal with them in such a way that I am not overeating and eating things that are not healthy for me. I am just going to leave this right here, and hopefully come back in a month or so - and update you and let you know that I was able to control my food intake and that I got back to my good habits and that I am back on track.
