This week was tough. It seemed like I was either SPOT ON or ON A FOOD BENDER. Next week I’m shooting for more balance. I have had a lot of stress, which I could use as an excuse. But life will always have stress and I need to learn how to eat well even in trying times.

I also want to get better about blog updates.  When I regularly blogged on 3FC I posted every day, but since I moved to a different URL, I’m procrastinating.  I also haven’t been taking my food journal photos.  SO, we’ll work on that!

UPDATE (later in the evening):

I’m suddenly feeling very grumpy and I’m having a bit of a meltdown.  I *know* I’ve lost weight.  I *know* I’ve gone down a few sizes.  Therefore I *know* I should be happy and more importantly grateful.

But WHY do I feel like I LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME????  I’ve been comparing recent photos to older photos.  I can tell that I have lost a tiny bit of weight in my face, but my arms, stomach, butt, thighs all look the same to me. A grand total of two people have mentioned my weight loss.  Not even my husband, closest friends or family have noticed.

I’m not trying to bring anyone down and I am not phishing for compliments. I’m just frustrated and I know I can share that openly here at 3FC.  I know it will happen eventually and I need to be F***ing patient.  I just needed to get that out.

Rant over.
