I never even heard of Aldi’s until like 2 months ago! We don’t have stores like that in NY. 20 bucks wouldn’t buy you sh** in my old neighborhood (I live in PA now) Pfftt 100 bucks wouldn’t be enough

We have WinCo, which is employee owned and pretty cheap. I would love for Aldi's to come in though.0 -

My anxiety got the best of me a little bit last night. I did so well the entire day calorie wise and then when I tried to go to sleep I started ruminating over worst case scenarios. I don’t know what it is about the night, but it’s it’s like my anxieties intensify. I worry about my mom getting sick or dying. Some days I don’t even think about it, but other days it consumes me. The year she was bedridden almost killed me. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. I honestly don’t think I can go through that again. My mom is my best friend and partner in crime. When she goes I’ll be alone.
So anyway I got the urge to eat while laying in bed. I managed to talk myself out of it and stave off the urge with a piece of hard candy ( I keep them by my bed) and then my cat started meowing, so I went into the kitchen and fed her and then I ate two snack pack puddings, a handful of cereal and a cracker. Was it a major binge? No, but I wasn’t hungry. Whenever I’m sad and anxious my first inclination is to eat. How do you unlearn that?
I’m not going to give up though. I’m going to workout this morning and get right back on track. I even logged the small binge.
I often do the same thing while trying to sleep. Good for you not going on a crazy binge. Great job actually logging it and making a plan to sweat it out. I think you handled it better than I would have, since I have corn dogs in my freezer.
It's a good thing you realize why it happened, and just try to manage the binge in the future.
Thanks!
I don’t think I could’ve resisted corn dogs though! I can’t keep ANY kind of “trigger food” in my kitchen. Well not this early in my weightloss journey 
I had to tell my mom to keep the rest of her snack packs in her room. I can resist temptation when I’m outside, but not in the house you know?PappingtonSteel wrote: »bootyrubsandtacos wrote: »I’m a little more excited then I should be about getting 5 containers of black berries for 79 cents per container
I have never seen a container of berries for less than 4 bucks. Aldi’s for the win!!
Aldis is a great place to shop - with such a large family, I have to pinch every penny I can. Aldi definitely is my goto place for fruit and veggies!!!
It really is! The fact that I can get all of my staples for under 30 bucks is a amazing. I get so excited when I go in there lmao
I wish Aldi's was in Washington State! It seems like it'd right at home in Seattle.
Me too! I keep hearing great things about Aldi's but i have never seen one. But I do love WinCo.0 -

Happy Friday! How is everyone this week? Its been pretty quiet here.
I'm finally getting my attitude in check and am doing better with my eating and participating in Dry January. I'm also about to sigh up for a 5k mud obstical course for this summer. This is so far outside my comfort zone its not even funny.
@cwells16 I would love to hear your weightloss story if you are comfortable sharing. It sounds like you have lost a lot and are nearly to your goal 2 -

@cwells16 I would love to hear your weightloss story if you are comfortable sharing. It sounds like you have lost a lot and are nearly to your goal
Well, it's Friday, so that's great! Although I work a second job, so I will still be busy this weekend. No rest for the weary. As far as diet/exercise, I just can't seem to get in the groove. No motivation or desire to workout - and I do well during the day (for the most part) regarding food, but when I get home, all hell breaks loose...2 -
@PappingtonSteel did you mention before you had a big family? Do they help and encourage you?0

I'm finally getting my attitude in check and am doing better with my eating and participating in Dry January. I'm also about to sigh up for a 5k mud obstical course for this summer. This is so far outside my comfort zone its not even funny.

That’s awesome!
This week was kind of bad for me. I binged the night before, I was feeling sick from my IH (intracranial hypertension) and I broke down yesterday, because the elevator in our apartment was out of order when we got back from running errands. My mom is in a wheelchair............ Yeah. Luckily we live on the first floor and it’s “only” one flight of stairs. I ran upstairs and got her other wheelchair (I couldn’t lift the one she was in. It’s too heavy) and parked it right at the top of the stairs, and then I went back down and pushed her right in front of the stairs, and I just stayed right behind her while she slowly made her way up the stairs. She was a little shaky in the beginning. I had to help her lift her bad leg a few times (she has nerve damage down her right leg and foot from her spinal surgeries) but by the grace of God we made it to the top safely.
It was just a bad day and everything was getting on my nerves and I just broke down crying after wattling up the stairs with a bunch of heavy groceries. I’m just like ALWAYS in a bad mood. It’s like my will to live just gets smaller with every passing day. I’m going for an intake on Tuesday to see a psychiatrist. I feel like I need to be on some sort of mood stabilizer. I have really bad anger issues. I’m not the type to yell or break things, but I shut down and completely isolate myself. It makes losing weight a nightmare.

@bootyrubsandtacos that sounds like such a hard day, I'm sorry about the elevator. I hope tomorrow will be better. Its always so refreshing to know you can start over fresh the next day. I have been having anger issues lately too and its very much not like me. But my life has changed so much in the past few months its been hard to adjust. Talking to a doctor should be good. I hope you find something that helps you.2

I am so sorry you are having such a rough go. You can always sound off here, I'm sure people wouldn't mind listening.bootyrubsandtacos wrote: »CryingBlue wrote: »Happy Friday! How is everyone this week? Its been pretty quiet here.

That's exactly why I wanted to start this thread. Sometimes talking to these friends seems easier than those we see/talk to all the time. Sounds like a great plan @bootyrubsandtacos. And you can all message me too if you want. The rough spots will come. But we can help ea other through them. Sometimes SAAD gets a hold of us, sometimes it's every month we get really angry or anxious), sometimes it's just one hit after another. Just know I sincerely care about those of you I've chatted with & think of you all quite often. I will send you good thoughts/energy (and I'm sending hugs to @bootyrubsandtacos, @cwell16, @CryingBlue).2
