It sure has been a STRESSFUL couple of weeks. We are going through major changes at work and it is unclear of what the outcome might be so I have been a basket case for weeks now. For me, with stress comes eating. I eat just to combat the stress and 9 times out of 10, what I am eating is NOT a healthy choice.
I went a got weighed last week and I was up 2lbs!!!! Uh!!! Not surprised but not happy either. I had skipped the previous week's weigh in because I just knew it was going to be ugly.
I have still been going to the gym though. I will NOT give that up because I know that it is good for me at this point - both mentally and physically.
I just want to get through this week and then things should calm down and I can get back to concentrating on losing this dredded weight. I am tired of being FAT!!!!!
Until next time, stay strong and eat healthy - I am definitely talking to myself here.
Hang in there C!! Stress eating is something I struggle with too, but do give yourself a pat on the back for going to the gym! All too often, after a stressful day I just want to go home and relax. Stress eating+lounging around isn't such a good plan at all! So good work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa. I am still somewhat stressed, but I am coming to the conclusion that I cannot control\change everything. I am, however, in control of what I choose to eat and how I choose to treat my body. So, I believe there are better days ahead.
