Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes - nice to get a 5 miler in after my long run yesterday with no issues
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes
I think I don't go off the rails with emotional eating so much as sometimes I am just hungry and want something more. Then I sometimes forget to stop. I find that forcing myself to LOG as that happens slows the process down to where I can recognize that the original reason for eating more has long since left the building.
Great topic today.
So awesome u are at this point. Must be lovely0 -

Updating my Oct 18th status. About one in the morning, when I was still waiting for the post-op call from my father's surgeon, I headed for the spare halloween candy. Turns out the surgeon called my mother instead of me (I was the post-op instruction) and my mother thought it was too late to call me. Meanwhile, I "knew" that I needed stay awake to take the call to inform my mother who was otherwise not going to get informed. argh! So Oct 18 has technically been a pass if I were counting them (did not join until the 16th of the Oct challenge).10

Dealing with some personal drama last week and got off track with posting. Pretty sure every day was a pass day, even when I did get a workout done.6 -
Exercise: Done.
Tracked: Yes.
Within calorie budget: Yes.
I used to beat myself up about eating sweets or fast food which only made it worse because I'd start spiraling and therefore start emotional eating, etc. I know the blog post is questioning if those cookies are really deserved but ever since I do tell myself I deserve it (because, honestly, I do deserve to eat something delicious that I very much enjoy) I don't feel guilty about it anymore which in turn stops the spiraling so I ultimately eat less of it. And I also kinda stopped buying most unhealthy foods ever since because by not restricting myself, those foods aren't even on my mind anymore.4 -

I'm so glad you're back! I've missed your! Sorry about the personal drama - been there, done that! Ugh. I know how difficult that can be. The key is to just keep coming back!
