This past week has presented me with challenging sad times with a ton of drama at home and last night I sat on the couch NOT hungry and wanting to shove chocolates in my face but with a desire to get to my Zumba class! What a huge successful feeling, it brought me to tears that I succeeded in having a hugely stressful week but didn't get the urge to stress eat. I am leaning on my exercise as my stress outlet. Yay me.

    That's an awesome victory!! AND I'm sure you found the exercise actually helps reduce the stress instead of adding to it like emotional eating would!! Way to deal!

    I heard this wonderful saying from weight watchers. If hunger did not cause it-eating will not fix it! I am so proud of you. Your gaining mastery over your body and your life. Keep up the good work and go get a nice massage. You deserve it!

    Okay, so admittedly, I picture my ex-husband's face on the track of my treadmill. Bad, I know...

    Did I mention that I run 3 miles a day though? :)

    Congrats! That is a big victory! I find that activity versus eating let's me work through stress as well.
