I realized I've been exceedingly lax about posting the last week or so. I enjoy doing this so just like I make time for myself to go to my WW meetings on Monday's, I need to make time for myself to write and post at LEAST a few times a week. Even if it's short, at least it's something!
Well, I'm proud to say I was down again. 1 pound! This makes 6 consecutive weigh-in's with a loss!! Is it as much as I had hoped for? No. But I'm coming to accept and be happy with any loss, no matter how small. It means I'm making the right choices often enough to make a difference in my weight and ultimately my health.
Tonight has not been so great. I recognize that I have been doing some serious emotional eating and I even know what the trigger is, what emotions I am trying to appease with food, but I didn't choose to stop. Some might say that it is a huge step just to recognize that I AM doing the emotional eating thing and even a bigger step to know what those emotions are. That is the first move toward avoiding it in the future. I think it's just a moment of sheer weakness. I realize it's all emotional, I know what those emotions are and what triggered them, and I said "oh good - that's why" and reached for another piece of peanut butter toast. 5 of them. YES - 5. I now feel so sick and bloated but God help me, I still want another piece. I'm not going to have one, but I want it. I'm going to have to walk about 10,000 miles to offset tonight!! I guess this leads me to the question of tonight, and of all time, WHY? WHY do I see what it is and yet continue to feed it, rather than fix it? I know I'm not the only one that does this. What tips do you guys have to help me with this?
A positive note is that I am doing the Beat The Bridge 5K next month for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This is a week before the WW 5K challenge. I'm glad I'm doing this. I don't really have any problem walking a 5K course, I just enjoy the fact that I will be out doing it.
In case you want to check it out please go to http://www.beatthebridge.org/site/TR/Events/General?px=1530509&pg=personal&fr_id=1150
You can check out the cause, the race, or even choose to support me and my team and make a donation.
Well, that's it for tonight. I really want to say thank you for those of you who follow me and for everyone who has posted comments for me. Your insight, encouragement and stories are helpful and inspirational to me!!
