No idea what happened to the rest of my post. In cyberspace I guess

No idea what day it is today

Night shift again. It is 4 am here. I am a registered nurse in an emergency department that is always insanely busy!! My depression is spiraling out of control due to stress at home. I come on here to get motivation to do something... anything... to move forward but often no ‘ oomph’ to accomplish anything. Love reading…

My goal for today is just to survive

Snowflake1968- what are 10 Somethings?

Recovering from nights is killing me. At least I avoided the ice cream and toppings at work! For Saturday: Watch kids Get new phone. I killed mine by dropping it in the butter. Drink more water Think before I eat - do I really need a comfort food just because I am tired? Prep for nights again Karen

Thursday goals Sleep enough to work again tonight. Stick to meals and snacks that I have packed with me Did well last night and only ate what I brought. Avoided the ice cream and toppings that everyone else was eating. Getting closer to being in the green. Not quite there but still managed to lose 5 pounds Karen

Hopefully will be within calories if I stay away from the apple crisp in the fridge !! Came on here for motivation. Gotta clean the kitchen then have a rest prior to work

Tuesday recap Managed well at work eating my prepared meals and snack. Avoided the choc cake!! Was well within calories till I got home and found pizza on the counter. Drat. Two pieces inhaled as I was super tired and stressed. Stopped there tho. Could usually eat 4 pieces. Goal for tomorrow Go to library Take dogs to dog…

Like many people here , I am an emotional eater. Any emotion and I eat. Lots of family stress over the weekend but trying to stick with the plan. Did not go crazy on Easter. Could have been better but not awful. Wanted to walk the dogs today but too tired/lazy/unmotivated/stressed/sore after a 12 hr shift. Perhaps…

Goals for Sunday Be nice to people at a family Easter egg hunt. Limit Easter candies to one or two so I can get close to my calorie allotment Clean bathroom. Won’t have much choice as my DIL has invited people over for dinner!! Remember what Easter is all about!!

Well I managed to avoid the cheese sandwiches at work ( which I am addicted to!) Managed to stay within calories so I am very happy with that. Will try not to snack before bed!!

So for tomorrow I want to: Avoid cheese sandwich at work and eat my prepared meals and snacks Get closer to my calorie goal

How do I join this group? I need something to hold me accountable.

Plodding along. Worked hard to get the kitchen cleaned as the other people left a HUGE mess and my dishwasher is broken. Dealing with a nasty cold which triggered my asthma. Not looking forward to night shift!!

I completed the first 2 12 he shifts of this set. My plan was to stop at the gym on the way home but I was so exhausted I could barely walk to my car!! Last night my son made stove top popcorn for my DIL and , being generous, made me a bowl as well. As that is my favourite snack I could not say no. Grrr. But it did not…

although there was a strong temptation to binge eat tonight due to stress i managed to avoid it

@ birgitkwood- thanks for the words of encouragement! You have been so successfull! I know that maintenance can be a challenge itself. gonna have to try and figure out how i put a sticky not on my phone.... at one time i joined a group that concentrated on tracking no late night snacking. So far i have 2 evenings under my…

Hello! I remember you from back when... I too am in the same boat of having to lose again. Can't seem to find my motivation this time. Friday fitness? Nope. Can't seem to get going. Working on what goes in my mouth today. Drinking lots of water cause I am hungry !! But I made it though ONE day!! Just worrying about today…

Made it through one day. Working on today.

Trying again for the umpteenth time. Today, just concentrating on what goes in my mouth and NOT worrying about tomorrow. At least trying not to!!

Trying to get through day 1 by thinking carefully about what I put in my mouth and NOT thinking about tomorrow.
