    Just thinking today. Can I really blame these emotions and urges on the holiday season? The temptation is literally everywhere, home, work, family gatherings, etc. I know it is up to ME to say no, but at no other time am I surrounded by this much stuff! I am hoping that as soon as I leave work today I can go back to my 'normal' diet and avoid all these treats. Does anyone feel this way? I almost feel like I've made an unhealthy lifestyle switch, but I refuse to believe that. I was feeling so good at the end of November, it's time to start that up again. I hate blaming outside factors, but I really think it's the problem. Sigh.

    I have to really watch giving myself excuses, cause I'm really good at justifying my bad eating behavior......however, I call December the sabotage month. Everything revolves around food. My weight training class had a cookie exchange!!! Take home 6 to 7 dozen cookies?!! All gifts seem to involve food, so not only are we trying to avoid bad situations, they are literally chasing us down. I think we have a right to blame other things. I am really struggling to hang on day by day right now.

    I haven't been around for the past few days as my sister has been in town...and I've been eating like crap and having daily binges, some worse than others.

    I've lost count for December but I'm sure my binge days have outnumbered my non-binge days.

    I feel horrible about myself and don't want to go to parties today and tomorrow but I can't let this thing completely ruin my life and keep me isolated from those I love. They don't care about my weight and if I've gained a couple of pounds.

    I too have been blaming the holidays for my eating too but that's BS. I know the real reason(s).

    I really feel afraid I'll never stop or get out of this cycle....but fear is projection and I need to stay in the moment. Funny how I can't wait till today and tomorrow are over. I need to get out of my head and enjoy my friends. It's really about that, not the food.

    Congrats to those who are doing well, I am jealous. I hate feeling like this. I guess I'm having a pity party this morning. UGH.

    Thank you for listening and being here.
