Have you had Therapy?

I’m asking you all for your opinions and experience with therapy and weight loss. I cannot stop eating. I need help. I have been to therapy 2x on 2 occasions. I didn’t gain much insight as to why I do these things and MOST importantly, how I can get it in my head to STOP it.

So…

Have you went?

Who did you look for? Credentials? Specializing in?

How long did you go?

Was it worth it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Monday

Ugh – who else feels like crap this Monday? Time change probably really screwed with all of us! Aside from the fact I ate horrible on Saturday night and all day Sunday. When am I going to get this guys? It’s so upsetting. Kathy and I even had a really motivating talk on Friday night. I’m sure she thinks I’m not thankful. I just don’t try guys. There’s not much more than it from that.

SO. There’s another running clinic starting on Friday. I may sign up. I even asked Marc if he would come to, but I don’t know the answer yet. But I can’t really afford to join a gym right now, the weather is getting nicer, and bascially I NEED to exercise, whatever it is. So I’ll keep you updated on that. Someone on a forum directed me to click here for a magic pill to help with muscle development and weight loss. I’m just not interested. I’ve tried so many things in that nature. I know what I have to do. Why is it so hard. I just wish it was easier like before.

We threw my friends bridal shower on the weekend, and it was really good. We think all the guests really had a good time. The bride was really happy too. There was tons of food. I bought some desserts to work this morning. I’m regretting that now, as it seems I can only think of them all morning.

I’ve been thinking of visiting a Therapist of some sort to help with my eating. I just want to lose weight without so much resistance from myself. That’s all I want!!!

Acid or Alkaline?

So ever since my blood testing last week, I bought myself some PH strips and have been monitoring my PH. They say optimal range is between 6.5 and 8 or so. Since Monday I have been pretty good. Well Tuesday maybe after the crap left my body. You can see on the chart the types of food and what they give on the scale. I found it interesting that last night I had some mango slices and a builder bar and a glass of juice, my PH was pretty low before bed, and this morning. It was probably around a 5. Probably the sugar I think.With a healthy breakfast, it was back to 6.5 at lunch. Makes me think about medications I take too. Maybe some of them are. I know the sites often talk about accutane and how acidic it is. But sometimes you need that medication, you know?

OH and I’m back on the “reduce/eliminate diet coke” plan again. Been doing so-so. I have only had 2 cans this week so far. How about you? One of these days I will get it through my thick skull!

Bridal Shower Planning!

Well not mine, but the girls have set a date in April for my own Shower. I’m in a wedding in June, so her shower is this weekend. I stayed up super late last night preparing all the paper stuff. I created her invitationsĀ  and she had a fuschia and black damask theme. So last night I created the menu cards, the table numbers, water bottle labels and started the seating map. It’s a pretty large shower (90 people) but it should be a good time. Excuse me blocking out the name of the person and the date. Long story. LOL

Anyway I think they all turned out good. I tend to overdo it when I design paper stuff. Invites or whatever. I always go above what I really need to do. It’s just such an important aspect to me!

I was asked to do a communion invitation (something like this one) so along with all my own wedding stuff, and that, it will be a busy time coming up, for sure!
