Hi team, I really need some help. This week has been particularly hard at work, my mood and self esteem has taken a huge dive. All I want is rubbish food, to make me feel better, but feel worse after eating things I shouldn’t! I’m not even hungry but I’ll have something to eat. Logically I know exactly what I’m doing but I still can’t seem to stop4

@lhughes2019 hang in there. I find for me it really helps to stay laser focused on my goal and not let work or life detail me. We will always have challenges and temptations to get us off task. But I find it helps to just keep thinking about how great I’ll feel just a few pounds lighter. I have also had success just knowing pretty much what I am going to eat for each meal in advance. Have healthy snacks at the ready, like apples bananas etc. last night my dessert was an apple. You have to think about the happiness reaching your goal will bring you. Not the very brief happiness you get eating that donut. 🤪3

I agree with @southpalms. Pre planning your meals may be key for you. When I first started, every night before bed, I would plan my meals and snacks for the next day. I would eat only what I had planned. Walking also helped me. It was something I did for me. It gave me time to unwind and relax. Walking also improved my mood. This one may seem silly but I made a list of things I could do instead of eating. Keep at it and you will succeed.0 -
Ive hit over 5 miles the last 2 days. I am going to try to keep that up every day.
I texted @Beka3695 that I need her to start getting it together.. so next week, in the mornings, she is going to do some walking at work while I get up and jog before work. (I work from home)4 -

@boehle You have inspired me – I am going to take a walk over lunch today!
@lhughes2019 I get in moods like that too. It is so hard to stay motivated and be consistent. I don’t know what kind of diet you are following, so this may not work for you. For me, if I really really want something, I’ll plan calories for that and eat light the rest of the day so that I can splurge. Staying busy can really help me too. If my hands are doing something, I am less focused on snacking and when my next meal is. Stay positive and think about your goals. You CAN do it!

@lhughes2019 - Just offering my support and encouragement. We have all gone through times of discouragement and do understand. Along with the great advice already posted, I can only offer a few thoughts. You are SO worthy. Treat yourself kindly and don't beat yourself up over a few missteps. Instead of focusing on your bad week, forgive yourself and start back up. We can't change the past, so instead focus on your wonderful self and move forward. And, on a practical note, I used to keep a 'snack drawer' at work before I retired. Something healthy to reach for at a moment's notice. We are with you!!1

May be food prep will help you. I liked this video which reduces calories but taste is not compromised.

Hi all! Tomorrow marks 2 weeks of vacation and 2 weeks to go. We have been very busy helping my father-in-law. We are trying to get some home care set up before we leave. I haven’t seen an iceberg yet but taking care of family is important. My birthday is on Saturday, so my Dad is taking me to breakfast and my Mom is taking me out for supper. The joys of divorced parents. They really stress me out but that is another story altogether.
It is great to see all the walking. It has been cold and raining a lot here, so I haven’t been keeping up on my walking. It is my stress relief so I miss it. For those of you with a Fitbit, have you ever had trouble with the heart rate monitor? Mine has stopped working. Still counts steps and everything else. I think I have extended warranty left, so I should be able to get a new one when I get back.2 -
@lhughes2019 I completely feel you. I've have had such a crappy week. Not necessarily eating bad, but emotionally. I am so overwhelmed at work. I'm training someone, so my own work is seriously falling behind. I usually try to walk on my lunch break at least 4 days a week, but I'm mentally exhausted so I have resorted to cutting my office lights off and zoning out with Hulu for the last couple of weeks. Hence why my steps have sucked lately. Also, I have been working on getting more sleep, but the last few days that has just not happened. I'm just not very fun to be around right now.
