Hi, @BCLadybug888 - sounds like you have a lot of fun coming up!

That walking will burn calories, and I know you know to eat lightly when the food is routine, and indulge more in the special things.

Good reminder, thanks Ann!

Difficult day today.
Between a family member having a medical emergency, and my kid’s partner’s kid (de facto my grandchild) being bruised by intentional forceful mishandling (abuse) by their daycare provider on their first day?
And now they’re afraid of “making my teacher mad”????

Worry for the family member
And absolute RAGE towards the person who put hands on a 5 year old.

Mama’s not going to allow that person around the kid again if at all possible. But in some respect the harm has been done. A sweet child who is respectful and (age appropriate) tries hard to listen and be a good kid has learned that there are some people who are dangerous and love to power trip on people who are smaller.
Their world got less magical today and that day care provider is lucky I don’t know their name or where they live. Because at the very least they would be getting envelopes full of glitter for weeks.

Am I stress eating?
Yes.

But I am keeping it down to stuff like ONLY ONE Hershey bar. And some cut fruit, and stuff like that. Because if there was a day where stress eating was a reasonable option? Today is that day.

Congratulations @BCLadybug888 I agree with what @AnnPT77 said about your trip coming up.May I suggest checking out "half size me" on YouTube playlist on eating during vacation? It has some good insights. Sorry I've been MIA lately, been very busy & tired while having new floor put down. We've had that carpet for 20years & it was awful! Husband & I didn't do the actual work but I had to move things around every day & clean some things. Husband couldn't help at all because he started getting pain in his leg about 3-4 weeks ago. He finally went to his Dr & found out he has arthritis in that leg/knee so he's been using some cream on it, it's better in the last couple days.

I am off the cruise ship, and did "eat lightly when the food is routine, and indulge more in the special things"! Which, including a few adult beverages, came to about 2400 calories daily...walking up and down the length of the ship added steps, as did excursions, and averaged 9/10,000, so I think I at least came out even. Was a wonderful time, lots of talented musical entertainment.
I am now in New York City for 5 days, and the walking has amped up considerably - today I am back in my room at 16,400 steps!
Will be interesting to see what the scale reflects when I get home (and the dust settles).
I ❤️ NY
