I am amazed that I haven't put any weight on as it's not been a very good week this week with my fibromyalgia. I've had a lot of pain so I haven't been able to do my usual daily walks and have been very lax with regards to eating and drinking (I may have consumed some alcohol 🥃)
I do tend to comfort eat, mainly to cheer myself up as I love food and when I am feeling miserable and can't get out and do even the simplest things because of extreme pain and fatigue food seems a fantastic solution. I guess I am lucky in the sense that I am aware that in the long run it doesn't really help me and carrying extra weight actually exacerbates the problem so that is always in the back of my mind so I probably don't go as overboard as I could.
I am hoping that next week will be better and thank my lucky stars that I haven't gained any weight so that's a blessing. I'm going to keep positive I've got that fantastic trip back to the UK to look forward to as my motivation.
