I just very quickly wanted to say I was about to eat all four cookies but I jumped on here instead and posted. Dealing with emotional eating is such a great challenge for this month! Grateful to be part of this thread.
Yessss well done!!2 -

Nutty Bars are just the wow, aren't they?! Great that you put it out here---HGSmith and I have done the same with pizza (limiting ourselves to two pieces). Sometimes what helps me is to acknowledge that I'm not saying I can't have the cookies. I am saying there is a better time for me to eat them...like tomorrow when I can prelog them into MFP.
Don't touch those Nutty Bars!!!

Posting here to distract from eating.
*sigh*
Really want to munch munch munch and not even on anything particular, I just want *something*
Not going to through, only have 30 cals left.
But on the upside I’m still in the green
I might go to bed actually, have some water before I go.
Nighty all ! Posting goals in morning x3 -

Yesterday's JFT:
Stay in the green. (1500 calories)✔
Do calisthenics. (20 minutes)✔
Go to dance class. (24 minutes)✔
Do running workout. (15 minutes)✔
Post here when I feel like emotionally eating...😉 didn't do this yesterday but I did do it today and it helped a lot.
Its almost dinner and haven't posted today's JFT but I'll use the same ones from yesterday.2 -
So my friend D who is staying with the DH and I did something actually really sweet yesterday that I just realized. Lol. He brought a donut home last night and just said kind of nonchalantly that Matt or I could have it. Well, it sat all night because there was no way I was going to eat it...until about 20 minutes ago. I then looked up the nutrition and it's only 190C and it's the lowest calorie one that the store sells! I was pleasantly surprised by that and told him. He said that he knew and that was why he got it. He worked in the food industry for about a decade and can tell when someone is counting calories. The thought that he put into it was really nice.
But I treated myself a tad tonight. The DH is closing his store tonight and D never gets home until really late so I have the house to myself and I dont have to cook dinner for anyone. So I stopped by Wawa and picked up a 4inch version of my favorite sub and a small can of coke. I took small bites of the sub and chewed it thoroughly, enjoying the taste and textures. It was really really good. The donut too. I'm eating a small bowl of popcorn and finishing my coke. I'm over calories at the moment but am going to do some cleaning and food prep so I should be okay tonight.5 -
I am over my calories already today, but I enjoyed a very nice lunch with a friend. I am having steak and a salad for supper and as long the black clouds keep rolling along I'll be able to get a walk in to negate the damage. Tomorrow we will be doing a lot outside depending on those black clouds so the week should end up being ok 2

I'm trying so hard to not touch them!!! I want to save them for tomorrow.2 -
Just for Friday Wrap Up:
1. Log all food and stay under calories
A double helping of pistachios put me in the red! But only by a few calories and I got up and put the rest away, so I'm not really that upset about it.
2. Physical therapy morning and evening
4. Grocery shopping: main (there's a sale on produce I want to hit on Sunday this week: $1 pineapples and $1.98/lb cherries!)
5. Drink 8 glasses of water
6. Kitchen closed and brush teeth by 10:00 pm...pending as I'm enjoying a flavored water while I type this, but then it's off to brush and floss.
Just for Saturday (Saturday!! Wooohooo!!)
1. Log all food and stay in the green.
2. Clean apartment and recycle the glass I've been accumulating
3. Drink 8 glasses of water
4. Get outside and take a walk by the lake
5. Physical therapy morning and evening
6. Kitchen closed and brush teeth by 10 pm3 -
LOL I have to keep repeating to myself over and over "I'm not going to touch them I'm saving my nutty bars for tomorrow." Honestly if I really think about why I want to eat them so terribly, it's because I'm emotionally eating, I'm not hungry I'm lonely and bored. I'm going to drink some water and get some fresh air! And hopefully this is the last time I have to post something to distract myself for today.

Happy weekend all! Here's my check-in:
House chores ✅
30 minutes exercise ✅
Track food and exercise ✅
Water challenge-80 oz. ✅-day 19/30!
Post here for accountability ✅
Honestly was a pretty easy goal day but I'm a bit run down from the week, so it's a good level. Tomorrow I'm house sitting for my sister, who has free laundry so you better believe I'm taking advantage of that Made the decision I want my first week goal to be a non-food item. Not only do I want to push myself to see things other than food as reward, I want to hold off and save for a really good treat later on. Worth the work!
For tomorrow:
House chores
Do extra laundry!
Pick week 1 reward
Read for 20 minutes
30 minutes exercise
Track food and exercise
Water challenge-80 oz.
Post here for accountability
Really appreciating all of the tips people post in their logs. Super helpful!2 -
JFT - Friday June 22
2L of Water -
Stay in Green -
Outside 15 Minutes -
Walk tonight -
Attend some more businesses to drop off business cards and brochures -
No, but it's because I got called back to the office as a client wanted to order service so I won't count it as a failure.
Have lunch with a friend and be mindful of choices - Well it was a pizza place so I made a fairly good choice, it was still too much when I allowed hubby to choose supper LOL
JFT - Saturday June 23
2L of Water
Stay in Green
Outside 15 Minutes
If gardening doesn't burn enough calories go for a walk
I am posting tonight as I'm sure hubby will be raring and ready for me to start working as soon as I wake up in the morning. It messed me up all weekend and Monday last week because I wasn't able to post goals properly. The sky is very eerie looking tonight, there are no tornado watches or warning though so I'll still head to bed.
Everyone is doing so well avoiding the temptations. I really need to get better at this. When supper was done I was over 600 calories in the red. I took my walk and managed to get it back down, but then ate again It had nothing to do with emotions, or hunger. I just wanted the tastes of my evening snack so I guess it's a habit I'm going to have to break. I have refrained from Coke for two days though so that's a win.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow in case I don't get on here in the morning.

Morning all!
Last night my partner wanted a snack. So I made him 2 pieces of toast! The urge to have 1 myself or even take a bite was immense! But I didn’t, I went and got in bed and was asleep around 11pm! I’m never asleep around then! I go to sleep any time between 12 and 1am. I don’t even know why lol, but I feel more rested than normal!
Hand still sore, feels strained at the top of my palm just below my fingers, but I suppose that’s rightseeing as they were bent right back. Not sure what i can do to help it? Ice or heat?
Anyway
Goals for Sat!
- 8 glasses of water
- Be in the greeeeeen

I’m in the same boat, totally c*cked up and asked everyone here for help!
Maybe we can start again together, so far I’ve done okay (day 2) but it trails off quick and that’s where I need to be kept on track
We can do this! We’ll never be where we want to if we don’t try!
I will try please connect so we can do this together. I’ve been logging but I either do not eat enough or I eat the wrong things.
You need to give me you want to exercise.
@AJB1014 great win. I miss working with DH we did for 26 years and then things changed and we moved now have separate type jobs I miss my best friend. As I think about that it could be a factor
@Lindsaykathryn would love to be your friend- inspirational quotes are what I need
@monstersweetsbyallison good luck you can do this what a great goal
@Snowflake1968 we could try to eat slower as a group and see how we can inspire each other2 -

@Bex953172 great success posting here and more water. What is you cal goal
Thanks, my cal goal is 1200.
Although I tend to eat (on average) around 1400-1500 and exercise off the rest
What’s yours?
My diary is always open so feel free to take a look to see what sort of things I eat if that helps?
What would you say your worst foods are? Mines definitely chocolate and things like potato and bread. And I’ve written a list and a list of alternatives on the other side. So when I feel like one of them I have one of my alternatives.
Also, what sort of exercises do you like doing? And where do you do them? Gym, outside, home?
I’ve found, the best chance of success is to evaluate what it is your problems are. Specifically.
And then you can work on the things that are holding you back.
Everyone’s journey on here is different, we’re all just working towards the same goal
For example for some people on here, drinking enough water is just second nature, but for me I HAVE to make myself drink it.
You can do it, and we can help
But you’ve got to also want to do it, we can’t lose the weight for you unfortunately!
But we can certainly give you a kick up the butt to get you going!
It’s all about forming a habit.
Oh and doing something like exercising on the day you REALLY don’t want to, actually gives you a greater sense of achievement and makes you feel even better!!2 -
Mmmmmmm
Beautiful colors!
I overdid it today volunteering at the thrift store and am now feeling it in my ankle. Instead of knocking out the apartment cleaning, I'm sitting with it elevated on a pillow like an invalid while I wait for the swelling and pain to subside. Gah. So frustrating.2 -

Ouch, you got any ice on it?
Definitely more important to rest it!
Also, is a thrift store the same as a UK charity shop?0
