LISfifty's Journal, 08 September 2021

Well you can’t fool the body! For my birthday I got a gift card to a grocery store that I do not prefer. (Went in the store hungry and tired) So I went in and treated myself to expensive prepared foods that I would not normally buy! Well that did not go well! I ate myself out of my safety net. The fudged chocolate cake (that was not that good but I ate it ), was over 500 calories by itself! I don’t even eat cake! This whole mentality that empty calories and refined foods are the body’s “treats” is such a dangerous mindset! I am throwing out the rest of that shopping ASAP!! And I will go back to the store and get rid of the card by purchasing things like dish towels or some other non-food items. Have a sunshiny day!☀️☀️☀️☀️

Oh no, I love cake and ice cream!!Sometimes I would buy a single piece just to reward myself for all my chores. After being on FS my tastes have changed and I don’t really want that anymore or like it. It is empty calories unless you can find a cake made with oatmeal inside. Why don’t they do that? Have a Wonderful Wednesday LIS!👍 Enjoy your towels!😁

I splurged last Friday and gained 7 pounds in one day! Slowly chipping away at it; you'll get there ☺️

Happy belated birthday! don't beat yourself up it happens. I know exactly what you mean about eating something indulgent and you actually don't even like it. I'm taking advantage since it's summer getting watermelons. I swear I could eat a whole watermelon just for dinner.

Happy belated birthday. We are human. We are allowed to celebrate now and then. I celebrated all Labor Day weekend and gained 3 freaking pounds. So what? Labor Day is once a year. Your birthday is once a year. Let’s love the people we are. And move on!! It’s mostly water weight anyway!! Right?? Sending you love and hope you enjoyed every mouthful!! I sure did!!💖💖💖😉

Happy Birthday, I'm realizing that a 40-year-old has different needs than someone almost 70. Enjoy!!!

On the flip side, I guess the "gift" that you got from this experience was fresh insights! Priceless! Happy birthday!

Good morning all! Thanks for a the well wishes! I had an enjoyable time at the grocery store yesterday browsing each aisle to discover non-food finds! Since COVID it’s been curbside delivery, Instacart, mainly Costco; so actually spending time inside a grocery store was —-different! The assortment of stuff is amazing! I ended up with kitchen gloves, cedar blocks, and even post its 😂! @Trackin64, I hadn’t thought of that! I did get a gift of fresh insights! Agreed, John and @Erq1! Our needs definitely change as we mature! @Morgan,@bgr12, @Bearnoggin, thanks! Actually, I am not stressing over the gain but I am not casual about it since it took me out of maintenance (back in now). Over many years I have lost and gained the same weight many times over. This is so unhealthy. The body would prefer being steadily overweight than doing yoyo’s. So I am determined this time to never “find” the weight I lost again. That means paying attention. Losing weight this last time was very hard! I don’t want to do that again. I give myself about a 2 pound window. @Shrewdness and @ajf33 Oatmeal cake! Yes, why don’t they do that?!😂 @dewkitty, isn’t it so odd that we’ll eat a “treat” that isn’t even tat tasty?!!LOL! I purchased watermelon as well, and I can definitely eat half of a personal sized one in a sitting!!! Everyone have a sunshiny day☀️☀️☀️!
