August 9th:
✅ Tracked all my calories
Stayed under calorie goal Exercised more than 20 mins
6/9 days
3/3 pass days used
Dang, all three pass days used already. I am falling down with a cold and didn't feel up to exercising. Plus we got takeaway for dinner and I ate wayyyy too much. Still in deficit for the day, but over my goal. Feeling a lot better after a good night's sleep but have to go for a covid test this afternoon just in case. There are no cases within hundreds of kilometres of here, but I work on a mine site where people come from all over so it's a possibility. And I'm not allowed back on site at work until I'm symptom-free and have a negative result to show them. Feels like overkill but can't be too careful!
As for today's topic, I could probably write a novel. I'm still working on the best strategy for me personally, so I'll be reading everyone's responses with interest!8 -

Yes x 3, hiking for exercise
Emotional eater here. When I worked in the hospital, there was extreme stress, and there were always treats out. I could not resist, I was craven, and shoveled food all day. So did many others. We all gained weight in our attempts to self sooth.
So I left the hospital, and got a less stressful job. That's how I control the emotional eating. I try my best to stay out of overwhelming situations. When I feel the overwhelm coming, I do something to deescalate, like reframing how I think, going for a walk, gym, calling a friend etc. The trick for me, is to nip it in the bud.

There’s something about getting your heart thumping and breathing some fresh air that really helps clear my head. But I’ve also had times that all the exercise in the world wouldn’t help and I myself was on antidepressants for a couple years and I was really grateful for them.

Stress/emotional eating…
I’ve been noticing that I don’t do that anymore.
I began moving in that direction when I found myself in kitchen, wanting to eat, bit knowing I wasn’t hungry and/or had no calories left… I’d say to myself, “You’ll just have two problems then…the one at present & the one in future that will require dieting, which you HATE” and I’d walk out of the kitchen or get a giant bowl of carrots/celery/etc.
Side note: often that wanting to eat everything in sight feeling occurs to me after a salty meal. So I drink water lol
Finally, I guess I just decided that overeating fixes nothing7 -

I'm not an emotional eater at all. In fact there was a time in my younger years when I was stressed or upset my stomach would be in knots and I couldn't eat at all. I got over it by quitting a job I hated (after six years) but never went to the other extreme. However, there have been times when I wanted to have a drink if I was stressed out or pissed off about something at work. For the most part I'd get over it by the time I got home. In retirement it is rare that I feel any kind of stress or anger (as long as I limit my news reading!) so the feeling of needing a drink is non existent.
On the other hand exercise does enhance my mood. When I worked I also noticed that my mood noticeably improved from Monday to Thursday (I worked 4 10s) which I'm sure was due to the upcoming weekend. We humans are weird.

August 9
Yes to all questions.
Pass days: 0
Calories to burn: 49,280. Yesterday: 46,970.
As for today I woke up much earlier than usual, wasn't feeling well, so I cut my walking to 30 minutes in parts. So my 10k streak is over but my goal was to walk 300k by the end of the month and not 10k a day, I'm still on the clear for that.
About today's topic, I used to find it much easier to not have snacks at home. I would look for them and when I don't find them, I feel a little frustrated but I don't go and buy them, the next day I would feel more at ease without eating them. Since my emotional eating is all about snacking, my weakness, I don't usually over eat real meals. In regards to exercising, I think doing it in the morning is the best option for me, we usually stress out during the day, when I already did exercise, I don't feel overwhelmed but more at peace in the middle of chaos.
Goodnight / good morning to you all 💜💛5 -
