Hi there, Roxy, jolly, glad to see you're doing okay. Roxy, the sore arms sound like you gave yourself a good workout there! jolly, you say you're stress eating but those gym and junk food saves were fantastic! Keep it up. You'll get on top of it and, yes, I like what you said to Derry about fresh starts. Why consider the entire day shot because you overdo it at some point. Try, try again.
I've been kind of practicing the "Wait!" command, kind of like you'd say to a dog in front of his food. I do this with those special hardcore sweets I may be looking to wolf down. I put it off and put it off, seeing how long I can wait and sometimes end up deciding to just go to bed instead. It's also good because I often can wait till after a workout and that apparently is the best time (if you're going to eat it) to eat simple carbs, after a heavy workout. Sometimes I just have really sweet fruit because I feel so good about having worked out and that it's behind me that I don't want the candy bar or whatever. So, anyhow, just thought you all could try the "Wait!" command. It's kind of fun hearing it in your head and knowing you do get to lunge for the food...but later.
