I guess I’m the starving stress team. When I get really stressed, which is rarely. I have no appetite

I didn't know they actually staged houses except on HGTV. Does the realtor pay for that? Hope you get an offer faster than me (1 month and nothing)

Super ive done it both ways. When my mom passed away i barely ate and lost 30 pounds in first couple months without trying. When my daughters daddy and i broke up i lost 20 pounds i could not afford to lose back then. My relationship with food is so unhealthy. I wish i could balance it and not think about it till i was actually hungry. Im very happy to know you rarely get stressed. It’s not great for your health to live like that. Also congrats on new relationship!!! You deserve an equal partner.

Morticia i still own the house my mom lived in but i owned it when she was alive as well. I could completely sell it but my grown child has asked me not to more than once so i dont. But when my grandmas house sold 35 years ago i was and still am so sad about it.

I go both ways...if it's stress that's not my own so to speak, I eat...if it's something that is happening to me directly, I starve...
I feel for the loss you guys have endured. It's got to be hard and my heart goes out to you.🩷🩷🩷

So sorry that you are going thru this. I get you when I am stressed I will try to find anything and have resorted to the chocolate chips too becasue there is nothing else sweet in the house. I know that it goes straight to my belly but cannot help it. I end up like you throwing them out. I wish that we could train ourselves to do something good for ourselves but at least you did snap out of it and had a long walk and got rid of them! Kudos to you!

7 miles is such a long walk! Good for you! I did a 5000 step walk with Bobby, maybe 2.5 miles and that was plenty. I never have chocolate chips in the house because I would eat them, stress or not. I sometimes have miniature marshmallows in the house for hot chocolate. I've also eaten them out of the bag. Sorry you are so stressed but I can understand

Thanks for asking!! Im feeling well, most of the time. The only pain i have is in my feet, plantar fascitis and heel pain, occasional swollen feet. Otherwise, im still working on systematically decluttering and cleaning regularly. Walking often, but not regularly as i would like to. Im waiting on arch support inserts for my shoes!!

Something I found interesting today. I was feeling anxious for no apparent reason. I googled natural ways to remedy anxiety. One remedy is dark chocolate. Maybe you unconsciously reached for the chocolate chips not knowing they might help.

Sherrye-nope. Im a sugar addict. That’s literally the only reason. Dealt with stress with chocolate and other sugary foods since i was young. I know this but knowledge doesnt seem to retrain the fat kid that lives in my brain unfortunately .

Fritzy-i had to cut my walk short a couple miles as i had forgotten to put the Invisalign braces back in my mouth and am supposed to wear them 23 hours a day. I was so irritated. Took them out to drink coffee and brush my teeth then forgot to put them back in between getting boys ready to go and setting off the roomba. I was so glad i remembered to set the roomba off, put my earbuds in my ears collected the boys and marched right off into the sunshine. 60 and braces who would have thought.

RPL i swear we are sisters from another mister (and mama). I dont even LIKE chocolate chips. Unless they are baked in something. Crazy. No kudos here. I was 139 pounds today. A full pound over my max weight i deemed acceptable and 4 over my goal number. Glad i threw them out tho.

LOL - you make me laugh! I know what you are feeling and I am still up on my weight and not recording it today! Uggh - I am struggling but going good at the gym and getting stronger. My husband asked if we got mini chocolate chips because we put them on protein pudding and I said NO!
