Martha, I think just getting started on C25K, even if I have to repeat the first part will be fun. Yep, I'm on Optifast 70. I'm going to talk to my counselor on Thursday to see if she has any suggestions. I was wondering if craving and "needing" food more is something that happens to long-timers like me, and if there is a protocol in place for it. I'll let her know what I've been feeling and see what she says. It could also just be head hunger and something I need to work through. Either way, I'm learning from the experience from a behavior standpoint. You're right Martha, it's a choice.<br /><br />Thanks ladies, and I hope you have a great week.<br /><br />Christyhappyincahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563750276010812723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409635047022801288.post-86667962501459972222014-06-22T22:50:02.623-07:002014-06-22T22:50:02.623-07:00Hugs to you!

You did a fantastic job of catching yourself before it was too late and especially noticing how different things are in your life in comparison to where they were before. This is a tough road but you're doing fantastic :-)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721383807986679228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409635047022801288.post-37869960642870572532014-06-22T22:29:49.808-07:002014-06-22T22:29:49.808-07:00I hope that you will be very forgiving of yourself...I hope that you will be very forgiving of yourself and not consider that a "cheat". It was a "choice", as my doc says, and you made a decision that you needed to eat some real food. I think one meatball and 1/4 c. of cheese is a pretty small amount of food and you should be proud that you stopped it there. Obviously, it can be a slippery slope and you have some history with sabotage, but you are processing your feelings and learning about your behaviors this time around and I hope you can just move on. So glad to hear that your day ended well and that you are "at peace" - yay!<br />And I'm so happy to hear that you are working on some exercise goals! Your very low calorie diet (you must be on Optifast 70?) could affect your ability to train for the 5K - or at least at the pace the C25K wants you to progress. It starts out fairly easy but can ramp up quickly and you may not be able to keep up at first. Please, please, please don't let that discourage you! Your calorie intake alone can account for that plus it can just be challenging even to those eating 2000+ calories. Repeat weeks on the program if you need to. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
