Seriously. I did well all week even with going back to work. I did not eat the breakfasts (bagels and such) or lunches provided. I packed and only ate mine. On Friday I did take a little fruit but that was only a point so I figured I would enjoy it.
Last night I had a little more than I should have but my points came out on target. It is okay to have a little fun right. Today I ate out twice. Once with my mom (Chicken salad on Kaiser with chips) then with my husband (potato skins, burger, and fries). Message to the husband: STOP suggesting crap since I will not turn it down. I need to learn to control my weekends better. Now I need to go log that meal as well as the full fat huge caramel latte. Back on the horse tomorrow...Wonder what my WI will look like on Monday.
I can tell you that I had about 2 or 3 stressful events this week. One was in my personal life and the others were at work. I did not deal with them by eating. I just dealt with them. At work I did what I needed to do and at home I just made a decision and stuck to it. Really I have to treat food like smoking...Eating will not make the stress better or make it go away. It will only make me feel better for a few minutes just like smoking did. I can tell you that even after almost 3 years there are still days when I want to.
Way to hang in there!
ReplyDeleteGood for you to just deal instead of dealing with it using food as a crutch.
ReplyDeleteWeekends are my tough time, too. My dh is trying to get healthier, too, but that doesn't stop him from suggesting things like hot wings, fried chicken, etc... on the weekends. I've had times when I stood tough & we ate what was on the home menu, but I've had times where I caved & we ate poorly.
I've found if I throw something in the crock pot Friday & Saturday mornings that we're less likely to eat out...because dinner is basically already made.
Hope you find something that works for you & you update to let us know how you are doing!
Best wishes,
