Ms_Smartypants; hope you feel better soon.
QT-Thank you for the words of encouragement.
I blew it last night. It had been a stressful 3 weeks. My gf who struggles with Bipolar was over medicated and it was causing her to be very grouchy. That coupled with her fall in the kitchen last night set me into a binge. She's off the medication for 3 days now and doing much better but I allowed the stress to get the better of me.
I am an emotional eater and have what I call mini binges when I can't handle it.
Does anyone have any coping skills they use to deal with emotional eating?0 -
Thanks everyone ...I am feeling defeated since being sick UGH
Karen sorry to hear about your stressful 3 weeks and your gf ..glad she is doing better .
What helped me cope with emotional eating was instead of going to the kitchen I would go in my bedroom or whereever in the house and journal my emotions ...why was I feeling overwhelmed , sad etc etc ...seeing it in writing helped me to not go in the kitchen to stuff my face0 -
Karen, one of the things I try to do is something that will occupy my hands so I can't eat. I'll do the dishes or clean out the catbox or do laundry or even work on crochet, though I am terrible at crochet. Cleaning the catbox does wonders because nothing kills your appetite like cat poo!0

I'm feeling better finally! I took tonight off from work just to be sure I'm ready to go back. I worked out today and although I over did a bit...I'm sore but I feel GREAT that I did the whole thing!
Megan~ Glad to see you! Hope you feel better soon!!!!
Noodle~ You crack me up...I guess cleaning the cat box would definitely make y NOT want to eat!!
Have a FAB_U_LOSS evening my friends!!!0 -
Thanks Qt and smarty pants. I've been journaling lately. I use to go to my room and meditate. I need to get back to that.0
-
Meditation and finding other things to do help as well.
I try to remind myself why I want to change. Why binging won't change anything and I'll feel worse afterwards.
Sometimes it works, other times I munch on. I'm finding that even when I don't talk myself down it doesn't feel the same.
Try jotting down some of the reasons you're on this journey. Read them often so that they take root.0 -
I want to jump up and down and scream! I am POINT 2 away from m 25lbs! REALLY??? POINT 2???? UGH!!!! At least the scale is heading n the right direction again

Thanks for all the good thoughts and ideas...I will kick that .2 to the curb soon!!! And FINALLY get my hair cut!

Cindy - I'll bet you lost that .2 when you got your hair cut! I am getting better with the ball, some days are better than others. I think the hour of the day I work out might make a difference.0
-
Thanks Cindy! We had a blast!
I'm headed to bed, I'm pooped.0 -
Hey ladies. It's awesome to see that everyone is doing all they can to stick to their commitments and that when they don't, we don't beat ourselves up. I think that makes a huge difference.
Jeez Cindy, give yourself a break. Go get your hair cut anyway. I agree with Liz, there goes the extra .2!0 -
Hi Ladies~ WOW it's quiet in here today!
MdwstQT~So glad you had a good time! You deserved it for sure!
Liz & aaliceinw~ I know it sounds weird but I just can't bring myself to do it until I hit that 25!!! Because I set it as a goal...I need to feel like I truly EARNED it! If I do it before I'll feel like I;m settling and giving in...I don't want to settle...I want to work hard and EARN this!
Have a FAB_U_LOSS day my friends!!!0 -
I hear you Cindy. It's actually part of a bigger journey.
It's a bit llike project management. We tend to celebrate only the huge milestones, which sometimes only get achieved 12 months later than planned. In the mean time the team would have worked really hard and overcome unplanned hurdles, like your field trip... But only the planned milestones are celebrated! It is the reason why many get discouraged and change fatigued.
It's not just about losing weight, it is also about losing bad habits and honoring ourselves and our bodies as the divine temples that they are0 -
EXACTLY!!!! Well said...thank you!
