Wow it is already thursday,this week seems to be flying by! How is everyone doing with eating? I have had a couple days where I ate out of emotions and I didn't turn to just sweets so that was good as normally that is what I would go after and I still measured which when I am upset I just normally grab what ever,never plan it. I guess to me that is showing I am trying! I really want to do this. I been saying for 3 years now I will get the wt back off only to add 10 more pounds each year. I know I have to do this! Well I have a early morning,have to be getting around and go do a patient. Will check back in later during the day.God bless!

    I have been good on stress eating these last 3 months while I have been doing MFP. But yesterday was a real struggle. A number of things had upset me and I was not feeling myself. So I started to hunt around for food, somehow I resisted and got through but it was not easy.
    Good luck everyone - thanks Brenda
  • So far today isn't half bad. I haven't actually logged the past couple of days, but figure I am fairly close to calories. When I finally stand on the scale, I fully expect to have gained about five pounds and that is going to have to be all right.

    Today I have had a half-bagel and cream cheese and LOTS of coffee.

    We will see how the rest of the day progresses. My brother is getting ready to head home to Atlanta tomorrow. That may be kind of difficult, but will get through it - because you don't really have a choice.
