Sorry to hear about your family situation.

As hard as it might be, it is probably possible to sort of compartmentalize what you need to do on the weight loss front with everything else you have to go through. I think there's a middle ground between being ultra-focused on the weight loss (which you probably can't be right now) or else saying "screw it all" and going completely crazy on the eats. Being a little careful not to get too out of hand with food I think is still possible when your focus is obviously gonna be elsewhere.

Or you can tell me to shut the hell up and stop giving dumb advice. Whatever you think is the most help. :)
 
So I had my day all planned out last night for food. Made my lunch so I had what I needed with me. Got home and left for working AND... left it at home. Arg!! Which meant I had to go get food which equaled a 700+ cal donair, and then I said screw it for the rest of the day and had an apple pie thing, too much chocolate, and a couple bagels and peanut butter. But after I finished my second bagel at 6:30 I said no, I am getting back on track. I'm stopping now. So I am not having anymore food for the rest of the night, when normally I eat the most almost for the whole day between 7 and 9. Still feeling exhausted and stressed (even though last night I ended up not even feeling tired till 1am, which meant I only got about 6 hours last night which means even more tired today) so I didn't go ride my horse.
 
Today I didn't have a great day food wise, but I finished off the rest of my chocolate so I am hoping that that will help me to not give in to cravings so bad. However this weekend will be very tough. I am going to breakfast at my Mom's on Saturday, where we will have pancakes. Then have a riding lesson which will be good, then I am going to a friend's house for a BBQ type thing. Sunday I am riding first thing in the AM, then to the mall with my friend who will prob want to have lunch there, then going out for birthday supper for my sister in law. Le sigh. So busy and so much bad food. My plan will be to only have a 3 pancakes for breakfast with only one with syrup. Not eat anything before going the the BBQ b/c I will be busy riding and such. Then not have chips and such. Just a hot dog or 2, and water to drink.
Sunday I plan on having a super small lunch after riding, then do a small yogun fruz at the mall, then nothing till dinner out and try to pick out a low cal option.
 
Wahoo! Finished up under 1500 cals and feel SO full I think I might barf!! Eating better is so much easier when your day is busy and you don't sit around thinking of food. But man, cramming in so much food all at once. Vomit may be coming! Oh dear!
 
Not the best weekend. But I had some positives. Friday night late, I really felt tempted to eat more and held off. Saturday was a total bust, today I only got a 6 inch sub instead of my usually footlong and got water instead of juice or pop. I could have stayed under my cals or at least under maintenance if I had been mindful at my sis in laws bday dinner but instead I ate whatever I wanted. I tried a new dish that was on of the higher calories dishes and it was so disappointing. Tasted more like a michelina's pasta dish than a restaurant dish. So I wasted so many cals on something that was totally not worth it. However I got home and went for an hour long walk. I then still felt really tempted to eat some bad things in my freezer but I actually took 'inspiration' from my family situation and said I needed to show that I could be strong. I'm gonna really try to pull from that to get myself back on track.
 
Wahoo! Another great day eating wise! Under 1500 cals!!!! So happy with myself and I feel like I am right back on track. Went grocery shopping so I am stocked up on what I need.
I also joined Plenty of Fish. Still not sure if dating is something I really want to do. I live a pretty happy single life but I do eventually want to have a serious relationship and I've gone on so very few dates in my life. I've mostly dated friends and we all know that doesn't work!!!!
 
You're of to a great start.
Love your choice of sport also. I myself never stuck at a sport until I discovered pole fitness. Sports like pole fitness and burlesque classes are great because you get the workout, motivation to lose weight so you can improve and on top of it motivation to do other sports that will help benefit your favorite one.
It also is very confidence boosting.
Stick at it and I know you can reach your goal weight :)
 
big step, joining a dating site.
Totally understand the "being single and liking it", I'm single and happy as well.
But eventually... yeah..
 
Yay! Another awesome day in calories. Wahoo! Sorry I haven't gone around to too many diaries lately. Will try to get to them more!
 
Had another good day. Finished up at 1575 so slightly higher than I would have liked but only by a little. Had a couple high stress days lately with family stuff, but I'll get through it and I didn't go crazy on the food.
 
Thanks. It wasn't horrific. I've seen the scale higher in the past couple weeks. I ended up at 141 on the nose, which means I've officially gained 4 pounds. It sucks cause I have to re-lose it again but it could have been much worse and I'm still hoping a touch of it is still water weight!

So I'm happy with myself for yesterday. I didn't eat great food (had way too much chocolate!) but I kept my cals at right about 1800 cals which I'm really happy with. I won't really know what my cals are for today as I'm going to a wedding with a buffet style reception but I will just try not to eat a ton beforehand. Went for an hour long walk with my dog yesterday as well.
 
Nice job today! Maybe you can channel the anger from having to repose 4 lb. I have just repost 20.....hate that....but no ones fault but my own.
