Nasty habit.

Well it has been a shaky 2 weeks for me. I have a problem with rewarding myself with food when I lose weight and it did not help that TOM was came right  after I lost 8 pounds.  So I have gained 6 pounds over the last 2 weeks. (I did not weigh in last week so it could have been more) 

My goal is to lose 1 to 3 more pounds by next Monday for my September total. 

If not I am good with the knowledge that I have not gained for the month and will have a loss for Sept which is consistent.  I am not losing what I would like to each month but I am losing something each month.  

I am not going to gain anymore weight this month.

I do the same...and I also grab food when anxious. My hubby is in Afghanistan and I haven't heard from him in a couple days and I just realized I've been eating sugar like its going out of style.

I also didn;t lose what I wanted to this month, but I also didn't *gain* for the FIRST time in several months.

So we should take our successes where we can get them!

I want to try to drop 10 pounds from now and Halloween. Today I gave up soda AGAIN.

Keep going! Don't give up. :)

Congrats yourself for not gaining and losing!

I can feel your pain.  When i do not feel good, or I am sick (as I am last 2 weeks) I give myself a permission to eat anything. As a child I would lose appetite when I was sick and my mom will give me anything I wanted just so I would eat something.  Unfortunately, I still have the same pattern.  When sick, i am not hungry, and eating real food is hard.  So I eat the food that I appeals to me.  And i am past the child stage... but old habits die hard.

On the other hand - if I eat food that my pouch does not want - I end up sick.  Or like a child - I refuse to eat.  I rather not eat than eat something that may make me sick.  I even have issues with protein shakes when I'm sick.
