so this is getting harder...i thought it would get easier and easier. but life is getting in the way and i'm realizing that i'm more of a stress eater than i thought. and now just as i'm sitting down to relax and think instead of eat, my daughter is starting to scream from her bed. oh well, gotta go...think of me!!!!! i need some positive thoughts if i'm gonna make it through this. errrr!!!!

    Oh no - stay strong momma!

    Take a shower, then head to bed. Make it through the night, just tonight. Deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.

    Junk leads to more junk food cravings, don't give in, it'll just get worse.

    Think about how proud of yourself you've been. How nice it is to wake up not bloated, not feeling disgusted with yourself. Go to bed grumpy if you have to, but don't give in to crazy brain!

    Kate,

    I am feeling exactly the same way! I had an easier time in the beginning of this challenge. I am at a point where I miss being cuddled up on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn, watching a movie and enjoying every little kernel. I have had some slip ups, for sure. However they are no where near where they once were.

    My kids both have colds and aren't sleeping well, which means I am not sleeping well, which also means....we are all grumps. Tired and grumpy have always led to shameful trips to the pantry and fridge. The other night I had 3 girl scout cookies and a glass of milk, didn't log it because I felt so gross. It's not even that bad, we are humans! We should get to have some milk and cookies every now and then right?!?! The reason I felt so gross is that I didn't savor each one, I shoveled them in like the cookie monster lol! And I grabbed them so impulsively. UGH!

    My point is Kate, we have just got to keep trying. We have to fall seven times and get back up eight. I like to think of Dorie from Finding Nemo "Just keep swimming just keep swimming"

    You are not alone in your struggle, and really glad that I'm not alone in mine! We have just got to fight through this! <3

    i honestly do MISS IT!!! gahhh!!! i mean, i know i really don't miss it. but yeah, i really do miss it. it's so comforting and FUN to huddle up on the couch with food. it was seriously (sad, i know) one of my favorite things to do!! i looked forward to it! so relaxing and yummy and...

    BUT when i wake up in the morning not bloated i feel amazing. obviously, i know this is what i really want. but it's much harder to say goodbye to than i thought it would be. i didn't think i'd actually be sad about it. it's like i'm going through the stages of grief!! i'm grieving for binges past. lol. food has sorta been a friend to me i guess. put the kids to bed and then sit down together. hmmm...as i said, i'm certainly learning about myself along this journey.

    i'm not where i want to be, but i'm glad i'm not where i used to be. :) love it.

    glad to have you girls!! xo
