Well I am stressed out and giving in/and taking it back/and giving in/and taking it back with the food all day. I nibbled my way through dinner as I stood over the stove preparing it. I've probably eaten all my points at the stove. I say probably as I have not added them up.... I'll go do that now...hang on; ok I have used up exactly the points I had left for the day so:
the kitchen is closed. DH's dinner awaits him.
I post-poned my Ottawa trip. With the holiday weekend I'm afraid I won't be able to either see my friends or take my mom out or get the chores done. I need a regular week so I'll go next week. I have to accept that it now costs me money to visit Ottawa. I find this hard to accept. But unless I want to sleep on the floor at my friend's house (actually I do, but DH forbids it as I get too tired/worn out and stressed out to deal with bad sleep as well), ask acquaintances if I can stay over which is an unkknown situation for me (and all my acquaintances are either battling illnesses or going through a lot of stressful family stuff), or have to stay with my siblings who are hard to reach and/or it's a weird family dynamc right now so I want to just avoid them if I can &/or keep our encounters to a minimum, this leaves me with having to pay for a place to stay. Ottawa isn't cheap either. So, 3 day visits it is. That's about the max I am willing to pay for and honestly, with my mom more time spent together is not necessarily better. Her memory is pretty gone and she gets easily depressed whether I am there or not, but we do have a good time together. It's all just so different now.
So the food wasn't disconnected from the feelings today. I wasn't expecting to weigh in on Thursday as I would have been away so I doubt I will see that # under 260 this week, even though I was only 0.3 away from it last week.
I've been struggling all week.
BillBlueEyes Credit indeed for "just OK with food". Methinks it was the "free" bit of the B&J offer that was the true temptation for you. In your criteria, it was indeed rare and unusual. How did it go?
Woodland I am also into the upper limits of my foodplan and need to keep a lid on it. It can be done!
Just keep moving applies to pretty much everything. Credit.
Beverlyjoy Kudos for all yur credits. that's god work and the scale is reflecting it. Credit to getting the message across to your DH about the goodies. SO GREAT he did not bring you one of those frozen treats. This is fantastic.
Tazzy Yay for your nsv's! I keep forgetting to mention that I bought size 16 pants at Costco and I can wear them as well as the XL yoga pants--they fit too. I didn't expect them to fit just yet so I know how you feel
I've never been to Banff or to Alberta. I may get to Edmonton this year--looking forward to the West Edmonton Mall!
maryann Sometimes things are just hard. We can make them harder or we can be easier on ourselves. I am trying to learn this lesson too it seems. I have not had the tears but that doesn't mean they aren't there for me too, as well as the anxiety. Different issue, same reactions. Thanks for reminding me the only way out is through.
Lexxiss Your floor made me *sigh* It looks great but boy, I have to say, that sure looks like work to me! Big credit for doing the job. I was straining to look out your window, wondering what your view was like. What side of the Rockies is that house on? Kudos for acting upon your lightbulb moment re: lunch.
Bye for now.
