Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on things so far.  We haven’t moved yet, but more on that later.  I’m in major crisis here with my weight.  I broke down and weighed the other day, and was shocked to see that I had gained 10 pounds.  Can you believe that???  TEN POUNDS!!  So definitely a major setback.  I’m PMSing this week big time, so I’m praying that’s part of it.  But I guess I needed this wake up call, because I think I’ve FINALLY made up my mind that I’ve got to do this.  This morning, as I write this, I haven’t had anything to eat yet, and I’m sitting here telling myself, “Today is the day, you’ve got to do this!”  So the motivation is there, I’m just praying it last throughout the day.  I will say that I feel different today.  I’m not craving any particular food, although I am hungry.  Usually, if I’m starving, I’m just dying to get my hands on something really good and fattening, something I love.  But today, I’m not doing that.  So hopefully, that’s a good sign, and I make the right decisions today.  Wish me luck!

I’m just too excited to wait until Tuesday to post this.  I haven’t weighed in almost 2 weeks, due to the fact that I’ve been super busy with anything and everything.  Anyway, I weighed this morning and I showed a 1.8 lb loss!  So now I’m down to 253.6, and I couldn’t be happier!  Things have been really crazy since the kids have started school.  The babies have also had a couple of doctor’s appointments.  This week, things should slow down a bit, so I should be able to get back to my food and exercise journal.

I’ve been doing good with my eating during the week, but splurged a little last weekend.  Yeah…it was my trigger food, pizza.  Something I’m probably going to have to totally eliminate all together.  It always seems to be the one that sends me right over the edge.

Do you have a trigger food??  What is a trigger food you ask?  JoLynn Braley over at The Fit Shack explains it really well:

“Trigger foods are any foods that trigger you to overeat and/or binge. They are foods that you just can’t get enough of; one bite is never enough and one helping isn’t enough. Trigger foods can also lead you to overeat on other foods that initially you weren’t even thinking about eating if you feel guilty for eating your trigger foods in the first place!

Some people could have just one trigger food category like ice cream, and others could be triggered by anything sweet, salty, or fatty. Usually trigger foods contain refined sugar, and while trigger foods don’t necessarily lead to a binge, it’s interesting to note that the binge eating survey I did here at The Fit Shack showed that 72% of the survey participants binged on foods that contained sugar.”

Check out my poll located in my sidebar, I’d love to see what others find their trigger food to be.  And if yours is not listed, please feel free to share it in the comments.
