What's going on? We are here for you!! Today was a work day! I'm still so thankful for my part time job.
DH even came by for a few minutes today and told me I was doing such a good job. That always makes a girl feel good! Tomorrow I'm back to my morning walk with the baby, play date, then DD's dance class. 
Not much today. Taking mom-in-law to her church this morning and then home to relax and enjoy my hubby.
Had a major breakdown yesterday morning. Cir****tances just got to me. That's why I love mornings, you start out brand new. Yes, there may not be a change in the situation, but there is always hope of a better day.
I hope your weekend is going well.

I'm waiting until Monday morning to see if the scale has moved at all....I definitely feel like I may have lost a pound or two, so we'll see. I'm not going to freak out if nothing happens, since I know that I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. That scale does NOT control me!
I did get my lab work back yesterday, and do have a bit of a concern.....my fasting glucose keeps rising. This last result was a 99, which is the highest number for normal. Last year it was 87, and the year before it was 78........kind of scaring me, but I'll see what my doctor has to say.
Anyway, my appointment is this Friday, September 30th, so I'll let you all know how it went.
Thanks again for your support and friendship. It helps so much!

Thanks for responding to my post......it does help to know that others are out there struggling, too. I've been hanging in there since I last posted. I'm happy to report that I am on Day Five without eating any of those easy carbohydrates........crackers, chips, bread, pasta, WINE, etc. I just went shopping again yesterday to make sure that I don't run out of anything, and I'm going to weigh myself on Monday morning (which I usually do, but I've been so tempted since I'm not backsliding!).
Stress for people who are addicts of any kind is a real hard thing to overcome. Like Barbara said, at least we're aware that we are reverting back to our old behaviors, and it's up to US to get back on track. I'm sorry that you are going through all of this, but I do know that these message boards are really helpful and supportive, so keep posting! I think that the web address for the five day pouch test is this: www.fivedaypouchtest.com
If not, check around on these message boards. That's where I got the link!
Take care of yourself ~ I mean that literally this time! I'll be thinking of you, and let me know if we can help eachother get through this!!!!

Today I go to the ASL Meetup at the Library. From there, it's back home. Once hubby is off to work, I need to get another level done in my homework. I am finding myself lonely too much so I need to keep my mind busy.
What are you up to?

Yes I am working for Hallmark but am also looking for more work. Two to four days a month isn't enough.

Nursebetsyb, I'm right there with you.
I do need to do the pouch test, can anyone help me with that. I've got to stop this madness. I've gained back 30 pounds in 18 months. The last 18 mos has been the worst of my life. Before then I was on top of the world, I was at goal, looking better than ever before and the first time in over 30 years I felt like I could do anything and everything. Then on April 29th my husband got sick and I have been struggling ever since. I eat for comfort, I eat because of the stress, I eat because I'm depress and I'm drinking more and more to dull the pain. My husband is still sick he has a chronic disease. He has been hospitalized more times that I can remember and its sometimes long stays in the hospital. I'm his only caregiver and I'm give out. That doesn't excuse my behavior. But I must be accountable for my actions.
So if you or someone *****ads this knows the 5 day pouch test I sure would love to have it.
Nursebetsyb thanks for posting. Maybe I can get on the right track
Thanks again
Way to go! 
Keep up the great work & never forget how good it feels to accomplish your goals!!!
