Possible trigger:

It counts for aggravating your ulcer. Im guessing this is why you are in pain. You know the expression, "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." Horses are ulcers, which you already know you have. Zebras are pancreatic cancer, which sounds like attention-seeking behavior. I guess thats your choice. I should assume you are not really looking for support here.

Go @Blue_Bird! I have to reign in my binge eating too, particularly right before bed. For some reason I'm always starving right before bed! I don't know why. It's annoying though. Anyway, you're inspiring me to start exercising again and get strong 💪 I wish we had a treadmill. Sigh. How much did you pay for yours? Was it very expensive?

I didn’t buy it, it is my supportive housing buildings property. We have three floors, so three laundry rooms and each laundry room has a treadmill in it

Lol. What was that all about. Are you feeling ok today? My ulcers are healed. My GI is now treating me for my delayed gastric empyting stuff.

I’ve just eaten 2 eggs on 1 slice of toast for breakfast which is a lot for me considering I never used to eat breakfast. Hopped on the scale and I’ve lost a very very tiny amount of weight. Nothing to write home about…..

@Blue_Bird

Oh! That's really nice! 😊 If our apartment complex had a treadmill I'd be on it at least once a day.

[Mountaindewed]

I wasn't in the mood for much today. I did have some stuff but not like I normally do.

[Nammu]

I eat fine, it’s the excercise I need to do that stops me from losing weight, that and the AP. My back seizes up anytime I do stuff. I really need to go back to the Y and do the water arobics, but it’s too early in the morning. Minnesota winters are not fun in the early mornings, it’s cold and dark. I need to be joyful about cleaning and make it into a fun activity…..bah humbug. Like the movie Madagascar I need to , I like to move it, move it, attitude.

[raspberrytorte]

Yay! I did it! I didn't binge eat before bed. I resisted the urge. Feeling quite happy with myself at the moment. 😊

@Nammu

I need to exercise too. I hear you about cold and dark winter mornings. It's not much better here in Wisconsin. What AP are you on, if I may ask? Are you on seroquel?

[Nammu]

Raspberry im on seroquel now but only 25mg I’m on latuda which works really well for both my daughter and myself but it’s not weight neutral for either of us.

[Crazy Hitch]

My overall weight loss has been SO slow. It’s been 4 weeks and I should have lost at least double what I’ve lost in a month. It’s too slow. I think there’s something wrong with my metabolism seriously. I would go see my gp but she’s away next week. She might not be a fan of ozempic because there’s a multitude of side effects….plus there’s probably a shortage with diabetes people needing it first. I’m at a loss. I have been SO strict with this diet,,,

[Blue_Bird]

I did 30 minutes on the treadmill today, might do some weights later. I'm trying to stand more throughout the day instead of just lounging around

[Mountaindewed]

I'm down a couple pounds because I haven't gotten coffee in a couple days. Or gone to Sonic. Those drinks really add up. On my wallet too. I've been eating a lot of chicken dunks Lunchables without the Oreos and Ritz crackers.

[raspberrytorte]

Yay! I made it another night without binge eating before bed! 😊 Today I ate fruit, walnuts, vegetables, and vegan shepherd's pie for dinner (think normal shepherd's pie, but tempeh in place of the meat, and soy milk in the mashed potatoes instead of regular milk). With chocolate/peanut butter mousse for dessert (made with tofu) but I only had a little bit of it.

I'm not too worried about my weight anymore. I mean, I care, but it's not something that's constantly bothering me. I'll lose weight. No problems.

Everyone in the house needs to hear me get a piece of pumpkin cheesecake at 3AM. Those plastic containers have more secuirty then the capital on January 6th.

Anyways, I'm just plodding along.

I know those are the worst. They’re so loud especially at night lol

[Crazy Hitch]

I didn’t eat breakfast yesterday and woohoo lost weight this morning so I’m happy about that!

[raspberrytorte]

Ate two apples, two bananas, a cucumber, and cup of grape tomatoes, half a cup of oatmeal, two tablespoons of flaxseed, a fourth cup of walnuts and numerous cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk today. Husband and I went for a walk, then after school we went with our daughter to the park and played volleyball and it was FREEZING, but I got some exercise in.

Hopefully I don't binge before bed. Please don't binge eat before bed, raspberry!!! 🙏 Stay STRONG.

[raspberrytorte]

Strange breakfast today. Plain baked potato and two small bananas.
