Feeling the blues today…
I followed my diet STRICTLY for the previous five or six days. Unfortunately, this weekend sent me into an emotional eating binge like nobody’s business. What IS that? Food makes nothing better - actually makes them worse. But for some reason when I cry I reach for a bag of cheese puffs instead of a box of puffs.
I didn’t gain, I just didn’t lose.
I’m just way bummed out in general. I won’t even go into all of it - but I don’t think my meds or my mind are quite strong enough lately!
I’m still trying to stay motivated but, ugh.
I called my husband to see what time we’re working out. He’s had a bad day and isn’t going to work out with me. So wish me luck. I’m going ….. that’s pretty much the whole plan.
I dunno……. If anyone’s reading, thanks for listening.

We are women… hear us ROAR!!!
I think most of us feel like reaching for the very things we know we shouldn’t have when we are having a bad day (that’s why the call it comfort food!). And you know what… so what?! I mean really, as long as you don’t do it every day, or all the time, I think it can be good for you. I give myself a "free meal" each week to eat what I want and to have a glass of wine or a good beer. And I think it helps me stay on track better. Don’t beat yourself up about it. And going to the gym even when your hubby doesn’t go with you just means you will in better shape than him

Hey girlie … I hope you’re doing better today. I just read your blog and thought I’d drop a line just to let you know that I’ve been fighting the blues (and losing BIG TIME) this week also … it’s been really hard to want to do anything other than hide under the covers … maybe you could try taking out that emotion on the gym equipment. Honestly, there have been days that I’m killing the elliptical, fighting back tears. People at the gym must think I’m nuts … but I do feel slightly better afterward. Don’t beat yourself up if you need some comfort food … sometimes it helps. Don’t let one binge set you off course … I’m good for doing that … saying "well i screwed this part up, so to hell with it" … that doesn’t help … just pick yourself up and get back on the horse. All we can do is the best we can do, right???

Sending you a big hug! Here’s how I feel: You want it, then have it, enjoy it, and move on. Don’t beat yourself up about it. And if you really didn’t want it? Well then you’ve just recognized a habit you’re going to change. Go to the gym and kick ass!
