    I understand that your work situation is very difficult, but am hoping you can keep your health-improvement trends on track alongside that unpleasantness.

    Over goal but under maintenance is still progress, just a bit slower than if at goal: No big deal. Only giving up leads nowhere. You've been doing so well: Keep doing it as much and as often as you can manage.

    I'm cheering for you over here!

    5/2/24 Over ate today - stress eating. Rough day at work… working late only to be called home to deal with a significant electrical issue that almost started a house fire… had to assess and find an electrician to come tomorrow - but no power in kitchen outlets , coffee maker , toaster oven and washing machine… so yeah I was a little bad to cope … but I needed that small comfort space Today. The electrical stuff was stressful as stuff was burnt, hot and melting… if it was just work I would have been fine.

    No one is perfect every single minute. At least no one I ever met. If there is someone who's perfect every minute, I probably wouldn't like them (because I'm imperfect that way ;) ).

    Hang in there. You're doing fine.

    This is great, @54ShadesOfBlue: Keep up the goodness. Success in one part of life can possibly be a counter-balance to challenges in another area . . . but I know that isn't easy.

    5/13 - a good day all around. Was able to take 1/2 the day old to watch my younger sons final high school sports event. Came in under goal today! Food intake was under control 👍

    5/14 - day started rough … very little sleep from the night before and woke up with a headache bad enough to call in sick … by about 3:00 started to feel better. Got some chores done outside, which greatly improved my outlook on things overall. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been happier working more with my hands for a living but that’s a debate for anther time -clearly there are ups and downs on both sides. With my afternoon activity, my food came in under goal again today 😀

    4/15/24 - things went as expected. Was over due to having a nice dinner out with my younger son - these next 2-3 days are just him and I together and that probably won’t happen again for quite some time. Great conversation, and after a not so great office day, I needed that positive part and a reminder of what’s so good in my life.

    I’m going to be 54 in a few weeks and have decided enough is enough after far too many failed attempts to get healthy. I feel utterly disgusted in that I have left myself down….

    Don’t forget why you started this thread. I hope you continue to journal wherever you go.
