I promised I would get on the scale today and I did. Down 1 more pound! It doesn't have to be fast, as long as it continues steadily downward towards my goal of losing 100 lbs. :)
Stress eating has always been my hardest hurdle to jump. I am finding now that the summer is winding down and school starts in 13 days. (yes I am counting down!!!) LOL But, I find that I am really having to work harder to NOT eat when the kids get so overstimulated and frankly annoying!! Although so far I have kept my cool and haven't gone off the deep end and downed a giant bowl of ice cream or screamed till my throat hurts. I still struggle. I am realizing that it is normal, natural and I may have to struggle with it for ever. But, I am prepared to deal with it as I need to. I can do this, and I will do this. Even if I don't have a perfect day there is always the next day to work harder.
I don't know if anyone else writes down or logs their food. But I sure find that just seeing what I am eating on any given day really helps me to figure out where changes need to be made. There will come a time when I will stall with my losses, I am sure of it. It is inevitable and I am preparing for that each and every day. I think being able to go and check where I can tweak and trim will help end the stall ( Plateau as it is so often called).
