Sick Weekend for me and my son..BUT WEIGHT LOSS

So this weekend me and my son were sick. He had a fever and a cold and I had a horrible sore throat and a cold. It sucked real bad but now it is almost done. I have lost about 3lbs this weekend. Have been able to control my night binges. I only allow myself no fat low calorie things at night if I am really hungry. I now made up a new rule for me at night. I can only weigh myself once after I put the kids to bed then no more until the morning. Cuz at night I tend to weigh myself lots, after drinking tons of coffee, (which of course raises my weight), but this usually leads to me self-sabotaging because I see the weight gain and having an ED think, oh well I didn’t lose so I may as well eat eat eat. And then of course by morning I am either the same or have gained weight. So by not weighing throughout the evening I am losing weight now every morning and man it feels good. For me, it’s super easy to restrict during the day, it’s the nights I have a hard time with. When I am not busy doing something thats when my food craving take control. So now I just gotta tell myself I don’t need the food and I just get up and do something different. Cleaning really helps me. If I clean, I can restrict.

I am not trying to not eat at all. But I do want to lose some weight because I was being way too lenient with myself and my eating. I find that when i tell myself that I don’t need to eat late at night because if I really want to I can eat during the next day and it will be better for me anyways. Then the next day comes and I don’t feel the urge to eat. So if I can keep up this cycle then I will continue to see weight LOSSS.  YAY>….

Oh, so I saw the pedeatrician for my Daughter and her OCD stuff. By the way, her OCD stuff is completely gone and the child and youth mental health mentioned about kids getting a strep infection and then OCD symptoms (it’s called Pandas) and I read up on it and it was exactly like the symptoms she had. So I mentioned that to the DR. and she said she thought that was highly unlikely. She said she has never seen that and it’s very rare. Then she proceeded to tell us that kids can go through weird stages and stuff like that and it’s normal. But then I think about it and I know in my heart that it wasn’t a normal kid stage. It really was severe and interfered with all our lives. And then it went away which again leads me to believe that it was the strep. So the next time her OCD happens, if it does, I will take her in to get tested for strep.

Anyways, I am rambling on and on. I think I am going to go do something before I head to bed. Hope you all are doing great and hanging in there.
