The past two weeks have been very difficult. There was a lots of personal conflicts/attacks within the legal arena. It's still on-going, but it got pretty intense last week. For an emotional binge eater like me, this situation was a 9 on the 10 scale.
Over the course of the week, I checked the scale a couple times. This morning I'm five pounds higher. I wish it were water weight, but I'm doubtful. I've been four pounds higher all week, so it's probably the real thing.
Now that things will be settling down (at least for a couple weeks), I'm regrouping. Looking back there are both positives and negatives:
Positives:
I didn't eat any chocolate, pizza, burgers, or chips.
I continued to work out during the stress times.
Negatives:
I think I ate more in general
I had a bunch of mini-binges on breakfast cereal and peanut butter (not at the same time)
It's a new day and I'm looking forward to getting myself back on track. Thanks for listening.
