Morning.... I am sitting here feeling bad. I have an emotional week (too many personal things to explain) and the first thing to go to hell - my routine. For the past two days - I missed my Water, Protein and exercise. Then on my Instagram, i see this. Everyone REMEMBER!!!

@@jhclikesshopping@gmail.com thank you for the reminder. I am also having a very tough week and am in crisis mode and was being hard on myself for not getting all the Water I need or exercising. Yet, I have not used food to cope with all the stress which I was reminded of by your post, so thank you. Best of luck to you.

Today is a new day. Let's all make the best of it and motor on. I personally will be retraining my brain starting with a protein shake and some exercise.

Don't ever let personal challenges or issues impact your way of eating.

You eat to live. Get your nutrition in.

Problems will come and go. Be your own advocate and stick to your eating plan regardless of what's going on. Doing otherwise is going to mean your weight progress is always held hostage to unplanned drama.

It's okay to have a bad day, week, or even a month. Just don't punish your body and your wls success for being human.

I try and always remember how hard I had to work and fight to get to surgery. Nothing is so bad that it's worth sabotaging my future by going back now.

Thanks for the quote. It's a good way of keeping us grounded.

I need that reminder like everyday. I may tattoo "let it go" on my forehead.

The first thing to go when I'm an emotional train wreck and a hot mess is my diet. I will either not eat for days and then binge on bad things or eat EVERYTHING in sight all day.

I had my awful week last week. Im pre op and dieting before my liquid diet and I was so well and then last week I gained weight.

This week in going to try to work out when I'm stressed out. Usually when I'm upset I come home from work and go straight to bed. I'm going to try to work out when I feel I need a nap. Even just taking a walk or something.

Trying to implement new coping skills aside from food.
