No exercise. So that was a pass day, the 3rd :-(
No excuse on the exercise. Just didn't feel like moving. Sad.

I lucked out on the calories front. I had planned for a birthday cake slice for a cousin but he ended up not being in town.

I try to walk 5 miles on sundays. I am quite slow so really that's when I have the time.

It’s all about trade-offs I suppose.
I really love what you posted. You wrote "food is not love", so true, useless we look for love inside food.2 -
Sooooo good with the advice, thank you!
"Don't derail progress by 'cheating' " and "don't allow celebrating to become a launch pad to unhealthy decisions" hit home big time. At the same time, use the pass days when it's worth it, just not as an excuse to go nuts.
Additional exercise is a great idea, I can certainly incorporate that!
I liked @MadisonMolly2017 suggestion of eating something beforehand, will definitely help! Its true that once you're at an event it's much harder to track and easier to overdo it without realizing. Even if I eat at maintenance, it can only take me so far because I'm short, lol. So it's not a pass to go crazy unless I'm willing to derail hard work.
The takeaway is that I'll need to be intentional with the choices at these gatherings. Absolutely cannot be mindless in the food part. I'll feel more confident even having a plan for the holidays. I've never done that before. Aiming for December NSV to be on track with weight loss due to my "holiday attack plan"!
Thanks everyone!!

Thank you @trimi1104
Over the past few years, I’ve slowly realized all the things I assigned to overeating & restaurant food - it’s been similar to peeling back layers of an onion...
Self-care
Relaxation
Reward
Comfort
Companionship
Love
Feeling Important (ego)
Feeling cared for
Way to get happy
A huge part of my Journey has been developing all kinds of non-unhealthy-food practices to meet my non-nutritional needs!!
It’s fun in the end!!!2 -
