I expect challenges. It kind of goes along with breathing. The only people who don't have challenges are the ones that aren't. But this week has been particularly heavy. And it's not even over yet.
Yesterday was a battle of emotions. I'm dealing with new people at work. Nice people, but so different from my personality that I am almost at a loss. I was exasperated. By lunch I was in tears and all I wanted to do was eat. And cry. And eat. Emotions are a big trigger for me. BIG.
I haven't done as bad as I thought I would. But the Whopper at lunch really wasn't the best choice, but at least I didn't have the onion rings or a huge soda to go with it. At this point all I'm having for dinner is lettuce. Well, that's really what I should have anyway. I'm trying not to beat myself up over it all. I really want to do good. Curbing my emotional eating is going to prove to be very difficult. It's been a pretty strong hitch is most of my attempts with my weight battle. But, on a positive side note; I tried to do some meal prep this week for breakfast. I made Turkey Sausage breakfast burritos and they have turned out VERY well. I think I will try for a lower calorie wrap and see how it goes next week... I went for low Carb and the calorie count was still 210. That's just for the wrap not including the turkey sausage, eggs, bell peppers or cheese. It has worked out as a very filling breakfast though. I think I can adapt it a little and see if I can't make something that I can't rotate out. Just so I don't get too board. All in all I am going to stay positive, I haven't done everything right this week and yet i know I could have done a lot worse. Because I have done it before. I am making positive change. And hopefully, making them permanent.

Great post, filled with honesty and insights. You are trending in the right direction, even with the Whopper choice, you made GREAT choice to NOT have the sides or soda. You are going to do this...one day at a time, one step at at time, one encouragement at a time....Be sure to let your Buddies help.:)

One thing I've learned in life is everyone has challenges. We wear them differently. From what I've read in your journal here, you're an emotional eater. Many are. I think the main thing is knowing that eating responses to emotion are as powerful as we make them. If you put yourself down (inside your inner thoughts when you're eating a burger, you're not treating yourself with kindness and respect.) I'll bet you treat people around you with dignity and respect that you too deserve. How about knowing that the people here ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU! We're in this together. You can be whatever you wish to be with enough personal kindness and attention. Look at how beautiful you are! I see your photo in your little avatar and see a BEAUTY! What if you start tomorrow over and know that there are a lot of people like me who see you in your BEAUTY! NOW GO AND GET THIS amazing HEALTHY LIFESTYLE with ALL of us! We're in this together! We're powerful! You're powerful! I love that your wrote your emotions! Now, LET'S DO THIS!

OK BB, first of all, know that you are linked to us & us to you. This band of climbers of mountains are here on the face of this cliff wall with you. At no point are you alone. At no point are we leaving. We are going to climb this mountain as a cohesive unit & during that process, we're going to turn this mountain into a mole hill. I need you to be strong. I need you to be able to realize when your demons are coming & be willing to turn on the tenacity when they are pounding at your door. I too tried to fill voids & cover the wounds my demons created by consuming food, Those habits took me to some dark places mentally. I had to accept I was broken & quit making excuses in order to start building a better me. Hold an honest conversation with yourself. You know your goals. You know the habits that created your circumstances. You know what has to change to get from now, to where you want to go. If you always eat what you've always eaten; you'll weigh what you've always weighed. This journey will not be easy. This journey will in fact be hard, but I know you can do this. Be fierce. Let this community help light the darkness. When the demons approach, one comment, one journal entry & we will be by your side, swords drawn, & ready to help fight them with you. You are a link in my chain. I will not allow a link in my chain to break. I cannot succeed, unless you succeed. Therefore, we both; no, we all are going to succeed. Steep mountains make strong climbers BB. We need you on the peak of this mountain. Imagine the inspiration your story may mean to people in your life & even people you have never met. Your honesty inspires me now. You can do this BB. Dig your heals in, wear your goals with pride, know in your mind you are going to climb this mountain, & then, when I swing over to you on this cliff wall, grab my hand. I'm going to help you & you are going to help me. We are going up this mountain girl.

BB you hanging there today? Keep the faith. You can do this.

Hang in there. Emotional eating is my problem as well. I wish I had the answer for you but I don't. But I definitely empathize and support you...And don't let the folks who say, "Just stop overeating" get you down. I wish it was that simple! I laughed out loud when I read that the Whopper "probably" wasn't the best lunch choice! I think we can all agree on that! Do you log ALL your food? I found that helps a lot. Even the stuff I binge on. At least seeing it the next day makes it real. And it makes the good days even more special. Hang in there and make today a good day. One hour at a time...

Jon, I'm Here man Rockin'and Rollin'!! Stay strong borther, we got this!
Mike, Actually, yes I really do long my All my food. I even logged the Whopper... It has helped so much to keep track of everything. And it has done so much for me to even plan meals that way, I already know what I'm eating that day and I really don't have to worry with it. Takes out a lot of the guess work. Thank you for your support.
