When caring for others and you forget you

Hello, I so know how you feel , I work a ton of hours taking care of others and it is very hard to find time for me. I was constantly grabbing food on the go thinking I needed it because i did not know when my next opportunity to eat would be and I just kept climbing the scale, I am trying to make changes daily like eating more protein, eating a big lunch usually keeps me from eating the rest of the day or at least those big dinners , now i just grab a small meal at night if i feel hungry but most days I do not. I find it hard to keep on a good track , last week i had so much sodium I felt like my feet were stumps and oh my did they hurt ughh by Friday at work I was driving and kicking my sneakers off due to the pain, so past 3 days I have watched everything and logged it and I am starting to feel semi better and less bloated. I was also a smoker a yr and a half ago and I find myself wondering how come i can say No I don't need that cigarette but yet I can not say No to a damn cheese burger lol

Aww Happy Birthday I have been trying to tell myself remember how you felt last time you ate that .. all bloated and super tired. Sometimes it works so that's a start. Like you i find logging to be time consuming esp on my schedule I know when I used this site last year I planned all my meals on Sunday and left printed out ones in my kitchen so my husband knew what was on the dinner plans but we have both been slacking way to much and now he is over weight which is so odd because he was always so scrawny and I felt like oh my god I cant gain or else people will wonder what he is doing with that two ton tessy. Now it has become a health issue for him due to he is a cardiac pt and has high bp and cholesterol. I think I may have kicked something into gear with him last wk when I found myself bitching while trying to get dressed. I was cursing because I own no jeans and if i did they would not look right because I carry all my fat in my belly just like him and I said we really need to get back on track because just taking vitamins and fish oil for him is not enough for us. So I am hoping we can stick this out but like you know it is very hard esp when you leave home at 6 am and most days do not get in until 8pm...... I did set an alarm/reminder on my cell to remind me to log meals

by chance are you like me that when you do have a day off you forget to eat lol .... I told my Dr when i am work i am constantly pulling over to grab something but if im home lounging on pc or cleaning i completely forget to eat lol
