I took the day off from exercising yesterday - I hadn't taken a day off in 5 weeks. Do you ever feel guilty when you take an exercise break? I did yesterday!
@Jpedno Excellent job on the spin class! I love your friend's motivational quote!
@roz0810 It happens - but today is a brand new start - come back here for motivation - we will be cheering you on!
@jimboden3 It's so nice to have some family home for the summer!
@lindamtuck2018 How are you feeling today? I hope you are better!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Steps: 13,801
Exercise: laps for 10 minutes, arms, abs and water exercises
I did a little longer in the pool than I intended. Had a binge last night. My husband had a medical test come back with not favourable results. He sees the doctor Friday and has been referred already for further testing. Unfortunately, I am a big worrier and that translates into emotional eating. Need to get a handle on the worrying so I don’t end up gaining a bunch of weight by eating my emotions.

I am feeling better. I do feel guilty. I think with me I love the burns I get from working out so it’s hard to skip them. I am starting to realize my body needs the rest.2 -

@lindamtuck2018 I'm so sorry about your husband's test results - I hope his doctors are able to help. I understand the urge to eat emotions - is it possible for you to try to stop the binge before it starts by telling yourself that the binge won't make you feel better in the long-term?2

Do you differentiate food as health or unhealthy? Do you think all food is ok but in moderation? Why?
I feel sometimes foods need to be labeled as unhealthy and removed from you until you gain the power to moderate those particular trigger foods. Then it is OK to bring them back safely.1 -

Sometimes the reward you choose is harder on you than your journey to get there. Just remember it is still the REWARD!3 -
Good morning everyone. I got home last night after complications set in.i was supposed to be home Friday but I got lightheaded and blacked out. A bit better Saturday and felt OK on Sunday but they kept me thru Monday to replace my suction pumps. I did pretty good on my hospital eating since I didn't have visitors. Eating extra this morning but logging it and choosing good things. I get my drains out next Monday, hopefully.3

It was a very good week for me - @lindamtuck2018 please move my maintenance range to 135-140 - thanks! I can't believe I'm actually in the 130s - never in a million years did I think I would be able to get here!

@rwood566 Welcome back! Welcome back! We missed you so much! I'm so glad you aren't in a lot of pain and I'm so impressed that you are already up and walking - I'm not surprised though - you are a fighter!

@peng123
Congrats on the loss and entering a new decade. Binge eating is one of the hardest things I have overcome. People often use the term binged when it comes to food in many different ways. Some will say, I binged on a bag of chips last night, I binged on my Christmas dinner, etc. There is a big difference between overeating and binge eating. When you have binge eating disorder, the definition of a binge is very large amounts of food over a short time. You can consume 1000’s of calories over an hour or two. It’s more of a compulsion. With me sometimes focusing on the compulsion can make the binge worse. There are all kinds of factors that lead to a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. One of my biggest triggers for binge eating is stress. Also, skipping meals or my evening snack sets me up to binge. I did do a year of therapy several years ago at the eating disorder clinic here in London as an outpatient but it still rears it’s ugly head on occasion. I have had a few binges over the last week so it’s time to dig out my resources from therapy and make a plan. Sorry for the long, unasked for explanation.
@aactuallyaash
Awesome stepping! Look at you breaking 10k on Thursday.
@cormierannie
I guess there was lots of dancing yesterday. Fantastic exercise!
@roz0810
Just think you have a clean slate each day you wake up.
@rwood566
How are you feeling today?
