Confessions from CE

January 26th, 2010 | Comments | Posted in Crooked Eyebrow |

Tomorrow is a big day… the scale, it doesn’t lie.

Today? I will fess up to what I may face tomorrow.

* This weekend I ate pizza, drank a malted cold beverage, had Mexican and a huge cobb salad at Red Robin. Not wise choices, and I know I could have done so much better.

* I have been eating poorly and using the excuse of stress.

* Hi, my name is Donya and I have been a life long emotional eater. (waves)

*You know that treadmill I said I was going to clean off? Well, damn (hangs head). Since going back to work I have 3 hours with my kids and then it is time for me to sleep. I have yet to find the time to get it cleared off.

* I am embarrassed of my lack of follow through.

*I drank 2 mexican bottled cokes this week (40 g carbs in one serving!!!)

*Thankfully I am packing my lunch for work and avoiding drive thrus. BUT I find myself cruising the coffee area looking for sweets way too often. Thankfully nothing has been there. Bad intentions….

A positive note?

*I currently have been drinking 3/4 to 1 gallon of water faithfully every day.

*I joined a biggest loser contest at work.

*Since going back to work I am walking way more than I was.

So, I do have those few things going for me. Do I have to weigh in? Yes? Damn.

Oh Donya, I'm so sorry you're having such hard time. I remember those days all to well. When I got home from work, all I wanted to do was snuggle my baby. I missed him so much, and hated being away from him. Don't be too hard on yourself. Seriously.

So here's my advice. You might not have much time to workout, but all the walking you're doing at work is great. Try to walk as much as you can! Get a pedometer if you don't have one! Walk during your lunch break after you eat. And stay away from Red Robin. K?

I love you!!!!!

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am an emotional eater too. Please pass the chips and salsa......

You be nice to yourself. You are going through a difficult time right now. That doesn't mean you should eat any and everything in sight. You will adjust and start kicking butt when you are good and ready.

Love you.

You'll get back in your groove. Give it time.

You are making some positive changes and that is GREAT!

I'm an emotional eater too. Not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow, but we can do it! Next week WILL be better.

all together now..."hi donya" right there with ya on the emotional eating. boredom is typically my emotion of choice.

good for ending on a positive note. maybe the scales won't move tomorrow, maybe they will. this isn't a race or contest (except the whole BL contest). it may not happen as quickly as you'd like but IT WILL HAPPEN!!

you are right, I would just hate to see another increase. But I'm thinking good thoughts.

:D

My heart aches a little for yo uevery time I read your posts. So hard to go back to work with little ones still at home. And with what few wee hours you have to spare, how do you tear yourself away for *me* time?? No easy answers. It will get better!

Thank you
I'm slowly getting there, if I wasn't going back to work, my head (*and large butt) would totally have been in the game long time ago. It's just takin ga bit of adjustment for me. But thank you for the well wishes!

Well you *have* been under some stress but you just need to be strong and not eat when it gets the best of you...or make good choices. You CAN do it!! Be strong for those kids and for yourself!!
