Reminder to myself tonite .... I feel SO much better when I drink water in the evenings, and not snack. DO NOT SNACK tonite!! I am craving something sweet so badly, but hoping that by getting on here, I can remind myself that
"Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels ". Food will pass by my taste buds so fast, but tomorrow, I will feel so much better if I drink the water instead!.4 -
@joan6630 Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. I know what you mean about eating your feelings - I'm similar, although lately I think I've been more like your husband reaching for the booze! I'm working on trying to find healthier stress release methods. Was thinking, have you tried listening to music? You were talking about writing your feelings rather than eating them - listening to the right type of music could help too? As in, sad if you want to wallow in it (which everyone needs sometimes), angry if you're feeling cross, happy if you want to get yourself going! Just a thought - might not work for you but might be worth a shot!3

@slittlemeister - thanks for the suggestion on music. I usually do have music playing while I am sewing, but I think what I need to do it go in a separate room, and just mediate like you do, and listen to music. Thank you so much for the suggestion.
@Bex953172 - thanks for your encouraging note last nite!
Yes, I managed through it. I did have popcorn, but stopped at that. The evenings are the hardest, so I just gulped water, and trying to distract myself away from food.
Sunday,
1. log all food
2. drink 2 glasses water with each meal
3. run to the fabric store My daughter went with me, and bought a couple candles for her apartment.
4. get out for a walk, since I didn't get to the gym this morning But ... If was SO cold! I think the cold just sapped the energy out of me - was a struggle to get anything done after my walk.
5. laundry
6. sew 2 more embroidery blocks
7. start on charity quilt
