Im not looking for someone to baby me and tell me its okay! I know that Ive screwed up, Im getting back on track and Im making no excuses! The past week has been pure h*ll on me. Between the whole brother drama and then my grandmothers failing health I have fallen back into emotional eating. I really havent eaten that much, but I also havent kept with my scheduled meals like I should. I only ate when I wanted to, which was 1-2 times a day.. I didn****ch my protein intake, didn****ch my carbs, and just didnt care enough for myself... In the last week I gained back 10lbs!! I realize that it is close to that lovely time of the month so that accounts for a couple pounds, but not taking care of myself like I should really is the reason for this.. Stepping on the scale and seeing that it moved in the wrong direction really slapped me into reality! No more emotional eating! No more missing meals! No more slacking on protein! I have come too far to let myself slide down that path! The scale wasnt the only reality check I had... I bought new size 10 jeans a couple weeks ago.. They were a little snug but wearable! Well I tried to put them on and it was a struggle!! I can still get them on but they are just too tight to wear.. I refuse to allow myself to gain anymore! I never thought Id fall into the emotional eating habit again! I thought I had it under control.. How wrong I was! I have eaten chips, doritos, pretzels, pasta, rice, and even bread the last week.. Granted not much at one sitting but still useless carbs!! Unhealthy choices! And why?? Because Im forced to deal with emotions that I dont want to.. My eating didnt change the fact I still have to deal with the emotions, instead it just added to the things I have to deal with. So now I not only have to deal with the fact my grandmother is slowing passing away but now I also have to deal with the fact Ive gained weight!! Check your emotions when life gets crazy! Dont let this happen to you!! No matter how much you eat to comfort yourself the stress and emotions will still be there when the food is gone! Lessoned learned! Now to pick up the peices and put myself back on track! Amber
