Hm. So I weighed in today. I was down .6 lbs. Not much. Notice i wrote .6 not to be confused with 6. BUT considering the past several weeks what with grieving and birthday cakes and being GIVEN 12 BOXES of girlscout cookies... and vacation... I did pretty well.

I was able to exercise this week consistently.

I'm also encouraged just being at a meeting and realizing that I can do this. I'm not going to give up. I'm learning and changing and losing!

The bare truth.

Emotional eating is a huge struggle for me. I feel like I'm doing fine coping with all the stress of my life... dealing with anxiety and at times panic and depression... but I'm not. How am I coping with it? I'm eating. I'm eating through the pain. Eating through the sadness. Eating through the loneliness. Eating through the regret and then I'm loathing. I loathe myself for doing this. I don't want to overeat. The problem is I don't even feel "full". I never even feel stuffed. I feel like I could just keep eating and eating and eating. It makes me so mad. I can do really well and exercise and take my vitamins and drink water. I can be sure to eat a large salad with tons of fresh vegetables and a delicious balanced breakfast, etc... but when it all comes down to it I will eat the wrong things later as an attempt to satiate the pain inside me. I will eat the goodies and sweets that I know are calorie loaded. It breaks my heart. this...

Breakfast on the go.

One of my dilemmas for eating healthy is when I need to get out the door and I don't have time for a healthy, if any breakfast. My solution: Kashi's Lean Protein Shake It's delicious. Milk, ice, and I shake it up and take it to go. It's delicious vanilla and chocolate. My other recent find has been Kellogg's Special K protein drink... 10 g protein, 5 grams of fiber only 180 calories. It's a perfect breakfast on the go. I've only had the vanilla but I can't wait to try the other flavors.

Sans le Sucre.

I gave up sugar for lent as well as fried foods. It's been really challenging but somehow God has helped me to overcome. I've bypassed coffee cake, hot fudge sundaes, and other sugar social eating opportunities. I have been substituting with a lot of dried and fresh fruit. It's sweet I want and sweet I get but without the sugar. I've been eating a lot less processed foods. And I've managed to drop 5 pounds. I wasn't doing this for a weight thing but it is a nice perk and it also shows me how much sugar I eat and how I'm pretty addicted to it. It's kind of unbelievable the things I've been saying no to.... I didn't realize how much sugar I was eating. Yikes. I've been avoiding caffeine. Not on purpose mind you but I like sugar with my coffee. I like flavored lattes and mochas. I like drinking english breakfast with sugar. And then there's Coke. I really like Coke. It started with my pregnancy with Libby. It was pretty much the only thi...
