Wednesday, September 28

My eating has been at little crappy the last 2 days! My little brother (21) has got himself in a bit of trouble with the police - so the whole family has been kinda stressed...waiting to find out what is going to happen!
I have really noticed today that I have been mindless eating - luckly I don't have much junk food around - but I have been eating way to much!
I am really proud of myself in the fact that while I was driving home yesterday afternoon (feeling really stressed out) I talked myself out of stopping to pick up a family block of chocolate! I must be starting to think like a normal thin person:)
I have got my food for tommorrow all planned out so I will be strating afresh. I start work at 9am...I can't wait!!!

The emotional highs in life can wreck havoc in our diet we don’t get a grip on it. This used to be a serious problem for me, now I still have to deal with it on occasion, but most of the time I find the strength now.

In reference to the block of chocolate, it is the little victories that can be so meaningful. There was a time when I could not open a cupboard in the kitchen that contained sweets without stuffing a sweet in the mouth, it didn’t matter whether I had just eaten or whatever. I fought this for over a year until I got over it! Now my wife complains that she bakes a cake or cookies and they never get eaten up.

Good luck starting your new job tomorrow!

Well done on resisting the temptation Leighanne. You did a great job - and you know that it would not have made you feel better or helped the situation.

Keep strong during this time. I hope it all works out in the best possible way that it can.

Enjoy your first day tomorrow :)

Good on you for resisting temptation.

I hope things work out alright with your brother and everyone's stress levels return to normal. I know it can't be an easy time.
