Good Evening, Coaches.
The week has been a tornado with me just touching down this evening. DH was gone all week and DS had events after school every night it seems. It is tough for me to not have long breaks so I give myself super credit for not going crazy explosive or depressed. My food, however, was not disciplined. I started to say not disciplined at all but that is not the truth. I didn't jump into flour, diary, soy or corn so credit. I am following Beck principles by not listening to negative self talk. The scale was four pounds up from ticker due to "standing while eating" and "snacking." Oh well. I start now just like our daily excerpts have been saying.
So many good things this week. I do not want to define everything by the scale. My classes went very well- lots of learning, smiles and hard work. DS won an academic award. I got to an AA meeting and saw my sponsor. I can go on and on. I depend so much on my "reframing skills." However, it is those skills which are the first to go when I am hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. I am grateful for a break tonite. I do have work to do but there are spaces this weekend to simply "be."
onebyone: Congrats on the lost. I know it was earned.
nationalparker: Congrats on maintaining. This is no small thing. Learning to make peace with food is as difficult as losing the weight.
BBE: Seen gaslight. Just introduced DS to rear window.
Karen Guest are very difficult for me. I think you sound marvelous.
Welcome and wave to all.
