Had to work 11.5 hours today…auditor in our district…stress, stress, STRESS!! But I did better with my eating today…did have a little candy at lunch, but not much, still within my calorie range for the day…yea me!! And managed to get in a little over 2 hours of exercise…not too shabby.
Now if only I could get some sleep before I head back out in the morning…I know I’ll be tossing and turning worrying about all I need to get done at work!! How in the world can I learn to just leave my job at work, not bring it home with me?! But at least I did deal with the stress in a healthier manner today…progress!! Maybe I’ll take up yoga to help me relax…

Oh my, the roller coaster jumped the track…I’ve gained way too much weight back…can’t seem to get myself back under control. I’ll do well for a week or so, then completely fall apart for several days. That’s no way to lose weight…not even to maintain it!! And now, work is getting crazy…retail…Christmas…6 days a week, 10-12 hours a day. I start feeling stressed, grab candy and eat and eat and eat. Have got to put a stop to this now…I truly don’t want to gain any more weight. Why am I turning to food again? I know how to deal with stress (it’s called exercise and it works), so why am I not doing what I know works for me? What am I getting from overeating? And how do I get back to that mindset of eating healthy meals and snacks? Planning my meals and snacks, using the crock pot so I have dinner prepared when I get home, not buying the junk…I know all of this…now to put it back into action.

I’m not sure what prompted me to climb back on this weight loss rollercoaster…thought I was done with that. Lost 96 pounds in one year and have regained 15 in the past three weeks. I guess the question for me is what am I gaining by gaining weight?! Protection? That’s always been the main benefit of weight gain for me…kept me free from intimate relationships, didn’t have to worry about being left behind. I really thought I’d dealt with those issues, had come to terms with those fears. Obviously have more work to do…
Have decided to utilize blogging to help me delve a little deeper into my inner self…to face my fears…to overcome the roadblocks I’ve erected…to climb down off that rollercoaster once and for all.
