Hello, Ladies!
We were out of town Sun-Wed so I weighed-in at home here on Sunday morning instead of my usual Mon. So...
I did lose 2lbs this week, but I think that was because AF left and took water weight with her. So I am at -28lbs which is good, but it is the week of BIRTHDAYS here (mine and my eldest son's) so I have been eating and NOT journaling.
I also have some added stress these next few weeks. My dad is having open heart surgery next Thurs so I will be flying home without the kids (8yo, 5yo, 3yo) and without DH leaving him with the boys. He is a full time senior pastor and even though he is home a lot, his schedule is unpredictable and busy. We currently have a dear woman (only her early 50's) from church at her home with hospice in the end stages of pancreatic cancer and so he is on call for the family and preparing for the memorial service. I will likely be gone at this time so it is just a lot of stress and I can tell I am feeling drawn to the food to eat emotionally! I do not want to. Even though I lost last week, I do not think my luck will hold out for another week and I really want to get to my first 10% (-29lb) and hit -30lbs!

I am on the alert for the "grazing/eating whatever isn't nailed down" as a reaction. I KNOW eating is NOT going to help anything though.
It's still hard to manage it and not to revert to old bad habits.
Karen - I *love* what you said about getting back into it

us all on this week.
