Good job! Your body will remember and it will get easier with time.

Hi Tete, I am back from 2006/7 I think but under the name Blitzed.
I went from 158 pounds to 140 back then, and then went from that slowly up to nearly 190.
I did read your Diary and it was lovely.....I think that I am about 10 year older than you, but don't believe that it gets harder with age (yet, touch wood) as I am meno/paus...and still managed to drop weight.
So you say you have about 22 weeks before your Son graduates HS.
Just really focus on that......I used Christmas as one of my goals as I did not want my son to be with an over weight mum this time. I am tall 5 foot 9 and a bit.
Remember that the food is always going to be there....we don't need to eat it all....and the best thing I did was before I over ate, was to think "how will I feel tomorrow?"
If you are going to feel like crap, then take 30 mins and rethink....after a BIG glass of water.
I wish you 22 weeks of weight loss fairy dust.

I can totally relate to that. The moment I feel stressed/anxious I feel myself reaching for something! I used to do it without even realizing. It is annoying that it still happens even now that I do realize it! But we will eventually get a handle on that too!
Heya
I just wanted to thank you for commenting on some of the diaries, it resulted in quite a few email notices this morning which made me get my fat butt back on here. It was kinda like a sign.
Lets get this done![]()

I found out today my coworker is going to be out on sick leave for weeks...and I am the only one who can cover for her...plus we are dealing with this crazy cold weather here in Pennsylvania....the combination of the two and I was headed for the vending machine more that once today...but I did stop myself and just took a little walk instead.....my overeating and cravings for junk are the biggest hurdle for me! I think the more we verbalize it the more we could get a handle on it!
This exactly this!!!! I cannot tell you how many extended work absences I have covered over the last year and my own job is very demanding. I get so angry and stressed...boom reach for the junk. I have gained 10 pounds since my new boss came on board, she is a total nutter, who is always creating more work because she doesn't know what she is doing and then says "Oh I'm sorry!" She has a treadmill desk in her office. No wonder, she probably drives herself to eat too!
Thank you for posting this! And know you are so not alone regarding work stress affecting you like that!
Vent away! I'll probably be doing that myself at some point today. I can feel it coming on..haha! Hope your day gets better!![]()
Yes, please vent away! It helps to get it out and move on rather than keep it all in and stress more. Hope it gets better!
tetemcg said:had to laugh at your last line "she probably drives herself to eat too!" I may have to use that!! lol I am going to start to use this diary to be brutally honest and vent when I need it. I hope it does annoy anyone...but I think I keep it in and then I eat. SO MY PLAN IS TO GET IT OUT AND GET OVER IT!
