Hey @Ashleigh1178 I got you excused till next week. good luck. depression is hard. don't go it alone. convince him that his brain is just as important as any other part of his body that doesn't feel well. no shame just help. take care if you need to vent, you know where I am at. Depression runs in my family. I get it.

@Shirin_K It is so funny to hear swimming lessons this time of year! Lol! Have fun with the kids, you seem to be doing well.
@phoebe112476 Wow! A loss with a vacation! Nice job! Hope you enjoyed getting back into your exercise routine. Your dinner looks amazing! I am loving the phit and Phat podcast. Thanks for recommending.
@eyesopennow You have been doing amazing with your steps! Great job! And your lunch sounds amazing!
@cyndiesstuff That stinks about pushing your honeymoon back. It isn't right that your sick days and vacation days have to be used. The apple tree looks pretty, we are supposed to get snow tonight. I would like one real snowy day without the rain coming in at the end and washing it away. Schools have already been closed for tomorrow so maybe this is the one Lol!
@gottagetthisdown . You are doing great! We have the delivery service for groceries but not one that you can order on line and pick up. I need to check it out to see if they have it in Philly.
@nstephenson01 Good luck with your guest and your project. Hope the father in law visiting frees you from the project a bit. Lol!
@NuggetBrain Amazing loss! You have been doing great!
@Ashleigh1178 Hang in there. I hope you can convince him to get help. Hugs.
@lennoncpa You really have been doing great with your no sweets, I can't believe it has been since Oct! You should be proud. I could totally see me doing the same thing if I lived alone, not having trigger foods in the house. Wish I had a tip for the nuts. I buy the individual serving packs since it is so hard to judge a serving.
@mrsbell8well Thinking of you today. Hope your first day went well!

Had a good day yesterday. here are my credit worthy acts. i packed my breakfast and lunch, drank my water, got my steps in, exercised, listened to my podcasts, made my 24 hour plan, fought off the urge to overeat last night, ate when i was hungry and stopped when i was satisfied (not full), started planning my leave of absence from work. last nite it was hard, my mind was racing, it wanted my to eat, but i had made a decision, i was not going to snack. i wasn't hungry, i had just had an amazing dinner an hour before. i sat with the thoughts. was it uncomfortable, yes. but breaking any bad habit is. i remember when i quit smoking. omg. now that was physically painful at first, once the physical addiction stopped, i was left with sooooo much emotional stuff. i was very uncomfortable for a long time but eventually it became easier and then i never thought about it at all. this is the same way. it is easier now than it was. and someday soon i won't think of it at all. practice practice people!!

@lennoncpa i am so glad you were successful quiting sweets. that is a tough one and you did it. lol you need to get your nuts under control. over eating is over eating tho whether its sweets or something healthy. the habit is still there, only the substance has changes. that is insane but it is working for you. so start where you are, you can do one day right? ok. well this next week get 2 days worth of food and practice being successful at that. small baby steps. you don't have to beat this all at once. break it up into small manageable steps that your able to say i have not choice. i will go to the grocery store tomorrow, it is my choice to put this food in my mouth, i am just not going to do it, i have no choice. practice practice
