And I'm a big enough girl to admit it too. I have to write about the tough days if I'm going to be accountable for healthy living. Between stress and disappointment I will admit to eating stuff I wouldn't have had I been in the right frame of mind. It's a sure example of how I turn to eating when I'm mad or sad. And I do it without really thinking about it that much. That will have to change.
It's not that I can't have days where life just doesn't feel right or whatever (I'm not explaining myself all that well)... I don't want to add guily to the tough days, but it's about thinking about it and finding healthy ways to cope that don't add to my struggles. Alternatives. I don't really know what they are when you're tired and disappointed and overwhelmed and there seems to be no chance for relief anytime soon. But there has to be something. And it can't cost alot of money.
I don't know what it is. But I guess this is the first step in trying to figure it out. What are the triggers? And why do I turn to food that won't solve the problem anyway?
Needless to say, today is a new day. I ate a good breakfast. I've taken my vitamins. I got dressed first thing and chore list is already started. I will choose good food today and I will exercise and go to sleep at a decent hour tonight. And I will weigh in on Saturday since I'll be here anyway. That will keep me honest.
"But???? Are we invited????"

One of my favorite times of day is just after dropping Emme off at school,
as Jax and I walk home hand in hand. We always stay and play a bit at the
schoo...

As you read in my comment below, I ate a bunch of chocolate yesterday. I'm not even sure why. I think it was too long yesterday in between work and dinner. I was not even sad or mad this time. Maybe just bored. Sad.
ReplyDeleteBut, today is a new day. I worked out a little while ago. I am back on track. Just the fact that I didn't get depressed over the chocolate, eat more, or give up because of it, is progress. We can do this. We are doing this. Cathy.
Tammy, I know what you mean!! (hugs)
ReplyDeleteChore list - You added chore list to this health thing? Oh man! lol
ReplyDeleteStress/Guilt turns me to eating, big time! Right now it's only noon, but I haven't exercised yet - and it's stressing me out. I know it's always easier if I get it done early in the day, that way nothing comes up that keeps me from doing it! But it's stressing me out...I'm starting to feel guilty...and I'm turning to food. Luckily, I've kept it all in check and I've counted all of my points (WW)...but I know I'm a stress eater!
