Yesterday I posted a new post stating that I had a bad day with food . Your posts of encouragement helped me to plan a better day today..which I had. This a.m, I sat down and wrote down why I was on this journey. ..health, esteem, energy, etc. I also tried to figure out what triggered my emotional eating..I knew I was not hungry but nothing I ate felt satisfied me. I figured it was mostly due to tiredness. I had been traveling for two weeks and went to a training class on an accounting system. I was exhausted yesterday.. So far me...tiredness is a trigger for me to go to food. I was also anxious to start a new part time job. But I have to put things in perspective. I am more important than job and I need to take care of myself first. I also must plan to rest during my busy schedule. Thanks to those who posted on my "help" topic. It really helped me last evening and today to refocus on my weight loss journey.

Congratulations for getting back on track. You are your own best advocate. My trigger that has the most potential to trip me up in pain. When the sciatica acts up, a potato or potato Soup is all I can think of. My go to however is scrambled eggs...yum.

Yay so glad to hear this!! You can do it Carlotta, you are worth it!

GREAT JOB! Look at you becoming your own problem-solver! Fatigue is terrible for pushing us towards self-destruction. But you hit the nail on the head when you said that "nothing I ate satisfied me". Which meant you were craving something ELSE - a great night's sleep! Bravo, sister! You did it.

Now I'm going to make a nice warm Protein cappucino so I don't steal the bread & butter out of my 4 year old's hands while he eats!
