    Thank you all for your support and encouragement! I am so extremely proud of myself - not for resisting the siren song of emotional eating, but that I didn't even hear it. Never once did I consider turning to food. I believe this is due to two things:

    1. Hard work with my therapist before starting my weight loss journey. I put off losing weight for about three years. I was drawn towards becoming healthier but I knew I had too many emotional demons that had to be slain before I could successfully lose weight. I wasn't ready for the challenge and the hard work.

    2. I don't deprive myself. I determine my TDEE and eating 1900-2300 calories a day. With the majority of my choices being healthy, this still leaves room for a fun size candy bar or two, a individual frozen pizza or a snack size mcflurry when I want one. I believe that if I wasn't still working these things into my diet regularly I would have snapped and binged.

    One question for anyone (as I am a noob) what is an NSV?

    Non Scale Victory.
    Don't worry I asked the same question a few weeks ago.


    Great Job.. Thanks for sharing! It is inspiring to read.. I can relate and I am sure so can many others.

    Great Job - Pat yourself on the back and just take it one day at a time.

    That is indeed a HUGE NSV!!! Congratulations to you!!

    As a former emotional eater, it was just flabbgergasting and amazing to me when I realized for the first time that I did just as you on a day that would have normally had me running for my stash of now untouched chocolates, the drive-through, or any number of high calorie/high fat/high salt foods. It's very rewarding when you hit this point in your journey, and I hope that you find yourself having many, many more of just this kind of NSV. (not the days where it's "*kitten* day" at work, but I hope you get what I mean) Keep up with your dedication, the exercise, eating well, and before you know it you'll be needing smaller, then even smaller clothes.
