GOOD MORNING TEAM SLIMSONS
TODAY IS DAY 4!
TODAY'S MOTIVATIONAL TIP:
STRESS/EMOTIONAL EATING
Sometimes we let our stress overwhelm us and then we may turn to our favor comfort foods in that moment. This is not for everyone, but those whom like me find themselves in this place from time to time, let's take a minute to reflect afterwards [REGRET, GUILT & SOMETIMES EVEN SHAME] are just a few feelings we contemplate afterwards. Well it's not a done deal there are a few things we can do instead of eating our feelings especially those of us who are trying to change the lives for the better by shredding some excess weight.
A few things that are working for ME are: talking to my psychotherapist, working out when the urges hit and keeping a gratitude and food journal.
Everyone has to find what works for them. It may take days, months or even years to overcome emotional eating habits but the first step is acknowledging that there's an issue and the next step is taking action. This is no way that it will be a quick fix but small baby steps will lead to a huge change in your life.
Hope this helps just one person today.
@gjaholy33 For me, the journaling helps, writing down what I'm eating and how I'm feeling and also how I feel after and during my workouts, that way I can look back at it when I'm feeling like I want to eat more, and realizing I don't need more.1 -
Keep up the great work team!!

@AB0215 - I’m with you on eating the meat, I would really struggle without that, especially as I’m not too keen of the veggie stuff ( my nickname is ‘don’t eat green’ lol.
Question, how does everyone keep up with all the posts? Not being very techy I would find it much easier if we had a thread to log figures but another for all the tips and ideas -do you think that is possible, or am I just being lazy.....0 -
@gjaholy33 I so agree with your post on emotional eating. It’s a snap moment when I will weaken and then the guilt and shame drops in and I then continue to eat anything because I feel I have ‘ruined it’ for the day.0

@Rigibann I am not really sure that's feasible from admin perspective, I already have to create a spreadsheet, 5 different groups for each team every month and monitor it all, not to mention that would mean there'd be 2 threads for each team and I think that may be confusing for members also and may lead to things being posted in the wrong threads, I think it's probably the best to just scroll through what you don't want to read through.
Personally I prefer to do this through a pc, it's easier to me to scroll through all the information than on the app on a tablet or phone, not sure if that's what you're trying to do, but I definitely find it easier to do it on the pc.0 -

@Rigibann You can save the thread and have it only notify you about posts that you're tagged in, that's what I tend to do because well, with all of the admin, I'd be looking at 48 notifications (or so) x 5 threads and that's unreal really. It also helps me to weed out some of what I don't really need to pay that much attention to.1 -

✅Exercise: Walking, 1h 30m

Today I bought a pair of jeans with a waist of 28 inches and they fit me! They were on sale and I didn’t bother trying them on in the shop, but I thought they would be a pair of jeans that I’d need to put away until I lost a little more weight. I have this thing going on where I seem to see myself as bigger than what I really am. I wonder if that will ever change.4 -
Sorry I forgot to post yesterday, I did weigh but with the holiday it threw me off.

@o0kody0o OMG this is me, I'm still trying to come to grips with the size I'm at. I'm wearing smalls on the top and mediums on bottom (8ish) and I swear my mom has been picking me up some clothes at garage sales (because she just can't help herself) and she gives them to me and I'm like that's not going to fit, what are you crazy?! and her response is always, "Just put them on" and I do and they fit and it's unreal. Just.not.real.4 -

@AB0215 It is so mind-boggling isn’t it? My mum is the exact same. She loves browsing second hand shops and will buy me mainly jeans if she comes across some decent ones and I’ll say to her “what size do you think I am?!” But they fit me! So I know that others see my true size (the slimmer me) but I still can’t grasp the fact, or see, that I’m smaller than what I was. In a way it kind of worries me because if I can’t see myself like others do, will I just continue trying to lose weight and end up too thin, if you get what I mean? I’m not aiming for the skinny look; I want to be slimmer, fitter and toned. I know it’s all in my head and that’s probably something I need to work on!

Today I started decluttering my house. Although I thought that I already have quite minimalist lifestyle, I've collected 2 garbage bags of excess clothes from 4 shelfs of wardrobe only
. A lot of work ahead, but I do feel lighter myself already
