It's been a challenging week this far, both food wise and life wise. I've had unplanned excursions change my plans, and turned my schedule upside down. This, in turn, pulled me out of my zone. I didn't get to exercise at the time I normally do, which I find hard to get back to later. It just seems to throw my whole system off. Grr. I really should learn to be more flexible. But I've allowed it to move me into victim mode, where I feel swept away and out of control. This is only in my mind, and I know that at a conscious level. But I also realize that this is one of those danger areas for me, where I feel out of my element, and then I let frustration permit me to eat...stuffing emotion. I will get through this. AND I WILL LEARN FROM IT. I am strong. I am alert to the pitfalls. I can change old habits and create better ways to cope when I feel out of sorts. I really want to learn a better way when I am feeling overwhelmed.

It is really tough when life throws you a curve ball. But it happens and it's bound to happen again now and then. It's really good that you know how this affects you and that you are taking steps to learn from it and change the way you react to it the next time. Kudos to you!

I'm finding that returning to old, comfortable habits has become uncomfortable. The new, difficult habits I'm forming are a challenge, but I feel better if I do the next right thing. Sometimes that means just going to bed and getting some sleep. The new day dawns and I keep on keeping on. It's simple, but it's not easy. Forgiving myself for slumps is also a challenge. I don't have the time to keep beating myself up over mistakes. I'm trying to relearn my life. Keep on, Girl!!
