OK, well I'm happy I didn't let "IT" (my scale will now be known as IT) to dictate how I would eat the rest of the day yesterday! I have a LOSS! Whew, that is good. I know I said I would not allow IT to control me, but I'm sorry I still have the compulsion to check my weight every morning at least when I am at home. I don't know what I'll do when I'm away for 3 weeks! But we will cross that bridge when it comes up. I'll just relie on eating within my woe as best as can (I'll be in China) and mainly how I feel, which right now I feel super, except for a tooth ache. I'll be away this weekend so I won't be able to see the dentist until next weekend (he only has Saturday hours in my area). I hope I can hold out until then.
Back to yesterday. I had a stressful day (with work & parents and my car) in the past that would have sent me over the edge to eat & drink things that weren't good for me, well I felt the triggers and instead of giving in (very close and easy to do) I talked out loud again to myself, asking myself 'WHY?, what would it solve if I gave in?' yes it would be a temporary fix, but that then I forced myself to remember what I would feel like the next day and what would it have solved? Well I drove straight home, fixed a big meal of good foods on my woe and ate until I was stuffed. That might not have been the best thing to do, but believe me, under the circumstances it was the best thing for me at that time. AND I have a loss!
