Hi all. I’ve been pretty aggravated these last few days, and have been stress-eating big time. I hurt my back on Saturday, and it’s been out since then. Lots of spasms and not being able to walk hardly. Saw my pain management doctor’s nurse practitioner, and she injected a bunch of “trigger points” on Monday. Went to physical therapy Tuesday, and I’m going again tomorrow. Been using my TENS unit constantly until today. Also took the dreaded Flexeril that makes me sleepy and want sugar at the same time. Doing better today. Went slowly and grocery shopped some—and didn’t buy any junk food, so NSV for me. Vacuumed up the massive amounts of dog hair that come from our 75 pound black lab/border collie mix—they were driving me nuts. Actually, everything was driving me nuts, and I get that way when I’m in pain. My back hasn’t gone out like this in months, and I drowned my sorrows in donuts, cake and ice cream. And cereal. Lots of carbs in the comfort foods I chose. And I didn’t record everything. By last night I’d finally had enough of sabotaging myself and went back to sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding and Gobstoppers. And fruity hot tea. I’m going to need to weigh in as I haven’t in over a week. I’ll do that tomorrow or Saturday. Or both. So in one way I’m telling on myself (being accountable), and in another I’m catching myself before I give up and just start eating everything in sight. I just hate that I haven’t been able to workout, and I hate the pain, and part of me gets scared that my back won’t get better and I’ll need another damn surgery... But it IS better today, and I DO want to eat healthily, and I CAN try walking the dogs tonight and maybe lifting tomorrow on a limited basis. And I WILL eat a dinner that’s good fuel for my body. And I’ll keep moving forward and read FS posts and get out of myself and get back on track. Thanks for listening to my combination “pity party/first-world problems” rant; I’m better now... 😬😬😬
