I've been watching the floods. It is a bad situation. I have friends of friends down there that we keep checking on. I hope you stay dry and safe!

Hang in there!! You can do it!!
I am also facing stress eating due to all the flooding we have in our area right now (I am in the Houston area). Being trapped in our house is not good for my mental state. Thankfully our house has not flooded.
I'm not weighing for a few days. I know I am still under goal, but if I see a gain right now it will freak me out. I will make better choices for a few days and then weigh.
I hope everyone has a great week!!

I'm sorry to hear about the ****ty job KeishaLeigh. Best of luck in your job search. I hope you find something you can find some enjoyment in.
I'm stress eating badly. I started a new job in January and I loathe it. I made such a mistake changing. I am job hunting again. In the meantime, I am having to make it work. But I am turning to food to soothe again which I had stopped doing. Have a bad day let's have a snack. I've got to get my crap together and not derail myself. I'm only 25 pounds from goal and this crazy place isn't going to stop me from getting there.

That is wonderful! I'm just getting started myself. Friday I faxed off some paperwork to the WLS center at the hospital I work at. Now I have to wait while they get the pre-approval. Based on my BMI and co-morbidities, I'm not worried about it being approved. I am however worried about how much mine will cost. You'd think that working at a hospital it would be covered at 100% but I don't think it is. I should find out soon....wish me luck!!
Little late to the party this week. I was away on a retreat last weekend and ate too many carbs and too much chocolate. It is amazing you can go up 4-5lbs in a weekend. I too know it is mostly water retention and your body reacting from you eating foods you don't normally eat...but still...back on track Monday and it all came off within a couple of days...
I was finally cleared for full exercise this week so I started a new routine. Tony Horton's 22 minute Hard Core (+ 10 minute warm-up). I can only do it for 3 weeks because then I am on to part 2 of my surgery... Breast Lift and Arm Lift...
