Hey there, hope you're feeling better today, I also noticed you're a Victim s Witness Advocate, ( Wow ! Thank you ! ) could it be the job thats causing you to snack more ? I think maybe stress eating ? Just a thought. Hope the support group can help you today, keep us posted. Again, great job on your weight loss ! Keep it up ! You can do it !

You make my heart smile, @pink_dahlia. Thank you. My job has been fine lately. I'm good at detaching. Plus, I just returned to the office on 8/3 after being away in Peru for a few weeks. So I'm thinking that it is not work related. I'm down on myself from time to time for the most asinine reasons. This time I can't quite figure out why and am worried that I may derail my weightloss progress by slipping back to old food behaviors. I was doing so well at feeling satisfied, cutting out breads, pasta, and rice and non-beneficial foods. But suddenly all bets are off. My carb count this week has been through the roof. I saw my body as I walked passed a glass door in the courthouse and almost died. Though I know it isn't true or possible, I feel as if my face and body have gone right back to where I started. And I feel so sad. I just don't want to mess up. My mind and health can't afford it.p

Ok, im not a psychology Dr. , so im purely guessing here. If you're slipping back into "old behaviors " is it because those behaviors are comfortable and familiar ? Is there something new or scary in your life ? Because if there is, alot of people go to a safe, familiar thing to comfort themselves. With you, maybe carbs are your happy food ? You just came back from Peru , (a very different environment ) , maybe you're looking for something tht makes you feel safe and happy ? Just a thought. Maybe find something non food related ? Anyway s, hope tomorrow is much better for you, sending good karma your way !!! Hugs !!
