Hi all

I’ve been doing some stress eating…ironically because of a great opportunity that’s come up at work…to substitute teach a great opportunity for sure but also rather stress induing..the night before I began I just ate and then started crying my eyes out for about 5 minutes just out of sheer fear about falling flat on my face in front of a room full of college students.  I did go to the gym on Monday and will go again tomorrow Thursday.  The eating has been better for the past couple of days so I guess I should be grateful for that.

Its always hard to blog on days when its not going well..but today was a fine day.

Hi all

This is not one of my favorite days and instead of moping about it  I went to the gym after work which I hadn’t done for a week.  20 minutes on the elipitical and 20 min weight training.  That felt good!    One step at a time, one day at a time..the weight didn’t come on quickly and it won’t leave for good quickly…its a series of choices to take care of myself every day every meal. My responsibility, my choice…daily.

Hi all:

I’ve been off the blog for the past month sidetraked by life in more ways than one.  Once again I’ve responded to life and its ups and downs by eating and eating and eating.  Like past attempts at weight loss when I get off track I disappear because of shame in my inability to stay on track and my constant comparing myself to others success.  The only person I should be comparing myself to is me…and I know that.

So, I will try again not to be perfect but do the best I can and not be ashamed of my struggle.
