I had another really bad night last night and have woken up completely disgusted in myself and really feeling I have no choice but to get off this roller coaster.I have NES and there are nights it's under control and nights it's completely out of control. Last night was the latter. I can always tell how i did the night before simply by my hunger (or lack there of) in the morning when I wake up. Also when I synced my armband it was quite clear the times I was up and also the evidence of an empty container of fruit. Before going to bed the night before there was an entire tray that would feed about 4 people of various fruit, pineapples, kiwi, grapes, melon, etc. in the middle of the tray was a fruit dip of some kind. No labels. The fruit was completely gone with the exception of some red grapes which I don't like. It doesn't take a detective to figure it out. Also there were two empty bags of the Jenny Craig veggie chips. Sure I know what your thinking..well at least I ate fruit, and Jenny Craig snacks. Well that's not how this works. I don't even have a clue what was in that dip as it was not labeled. Last time I spoke with my JCC she told me to log those foods as morning breakfasts. Well If I do that, I will obviously need to starve today to get back on track. Actually I'm tired of trying to chase this. I really am. I'm feeling really defeated right now with about a 2% chance of getting back on track in my mind set. A big part of me just wants off this roller coaster. I have noticed the more vigilant I am about the NES, the more it takes over and I can't just not worry about it, the mind doesn't want to cooperate.
Whenever I bring this up to friends or family I get an array of suggestions, sympathy, but no one fully understands. I have absolutely NO power in this. It is such a helpless feeling and it's actually crushing at time. Many mornings I wake up and I just know I have blown it. It takes all my energy to put it away and just "pretend" it didn't happen. I'm just afraid of this getting worse as I go along. The better I do, the more I sabotage it at night.
I'm not feeling SO low that I would just abandon my diet at all. During the day I am OK. I am safe. Today will be a little difficult and hopefully tonight will be uneventful. I'm going to put this away for now as I don't really have the stamina to fight with it. I don't have time to go to the gym either today so I'm doubly screwed today. I need to regroup and figure out what to do next.
