December 28, 2008 – Full and Food

In the food department – I haven’ t changed at all. I feel like a stuffed pig. I know I haven’t eaten the quantities of food I ate during the holidays in the past, but I ate anything I wanted. That kicked the guilt quotient into high gear. I think I have stayed the same weight for the last two weeks because of all the partying and such.

I cannot take big bites of anything or they get stuck in my throat. Dr. Sonnastein says everyone throws up at least once during the process. I don’t want to do that ever! Yuck.

I’m going to join the throngs of post revelers and join some kind of exercise group this week. I know being able to get my body moving will help in the food department too. I definitely want to keep slimming down. I don’t want to get in my own way…but…..

They get stuck. I don’t like the feeling. Now if they are cooked. I can eat it just fine. Does this answer the question?
