We love to eat and enjoy food but food can help us through some stressful times, fill us up when we are feeling empty, help us procrastinate, soothe anger and do all kids of thing we need. What are some substitutes for food in situations where you turn to food?
Books and dogs
Are you reading books to your dogs? LOL LOL LOL (sorry being silly)
Actually I do read to them especially my middle one who is psycho. LOL 😆4 -

@tahm42 I am the same right now. I want to bake more right now since my family has since I was small. It is that time of year. I snacked heavily yesterday but I tried to limit the amount of each. 3 jelly beans instead of the handful I grabbed, one handful of popcorn and pass the bag out of reach, etc. Good luck with your weights.
If I could go anywhere for vacation, I think I would go back to Illinois and Tennessee. My mom's family is in Illinois and I haven't seen them since 1984. My mom is buried there. My wife's parents are buried in Tennessee and we haven't been there since 1987. It has been way to long but no money for it.
Yesterday I had a nice NSV. I have been looking for another pair of jeans at normal stores, size 46. Couldn't find them. Yesterday after I left the gym I stopped my another target store and decided to try on the one pair of 44x30 i found. They fit nice. A little room in the waist. 20 bucks instead of 65 at the big and tall. I wore them to the zoo last night and they were very comfy. Bypassed another size.7 -
Hey guys! Had a day yesterday where I just could not say no to eating all the things. I don't know why I was a bottomless pit. I did start lifting again this week and this morning the scale showed both a 4# gain in 24 hrs I know it is water but so scary to see numbers go up so drastically. Apologizing in advance if I can't get it down before Tuesday weigh in. I did enjoy myself but I just don't know why I was so hungry. I am also in a baking mood. I want to bake all the things too and I know that is dangerous. Maybe the bear in me is feeling the weather changes. I am just going to keep a watch on this big time.
That’s part of what happened to me. I was very hungry but I also made poor choices to feed the hunger. No worries if your weight is up. I am so glad I am a terrible baker. Hang in there.2 -

I think you added an extra 100 onto your weight. I would love to go to the zoo but it is 2 hours away. Great way to get steps!
Whoops you're right! Habit from the past I guess. Should say 156.8. Our zoo takes about 30mins to get to. It's possible to make a whole day trip out of it due to how big it is, which we do a lot, but the nice thing about having a yearly membership is being able to do short trips too and see different things each time.3 -
What word or phrase can you use(or do you use) to remind you of your commitment?2 -

Weigh In Day: Saturday
PW (Previous Weight): 210.2lbs
CW (Current Weight): 109.7
We have entered the busiest period of my work - October through January I'm going to work like mad, and as an international sales person I'll also be doing a fair bit of traveling. I apologize in advance but I'm sure my delay has already been noted!
Next Saturday is my birthday and I will be in Rome, so I have to skip my weigh-in then please.

@jayenguk, @Megan_smartiepants1970 ,@red1185 Congrats!! Keep up the great work! @rwood566 That is an awesome NSV! @lindamtuck2018 I tracked every bite and I was surprised I was below 2300! Not great but I have had much worse eating rampages. I am so glad I am not the only one.
Baked pumpkin bars today to try to curb myself.

I forgot to mention that I ordered my Apple Watch on Friday. It will be here in a week. I am both excited and nervous at the same time. I got a series 7 and I am hoping to have better luck than I did with Fitbits.2
