Hubby accidentally sabotaged me yesterday. A friend gave him a ton of candy. I let myself have a naughty moment yesterday, then this morning I took my share, halved everything into its own baggy, and those are treats for the end of the day if I've kept to my daily goals. That way, I get the sweet craving delt with but still keep to my calories. It's ok to have an off day, just pick up your journey on the right track the next day. You've got this. 🥰

These are difficult times for us. When I get restless at night I sometimes drink green tea with a teaspoon of honey. It seems to help a little and there's no caffeine. Together we can get through this my friend. 💛

I've started exercising recently, it's been almost five years since I've done any other than walking around a store. I have arthritis, so I know I can't push myself too much, but some days it definitely feels like I'm not doing enough to make a real difference. Every step forward is progress, no matter how small it is.

Hang in there. I fell off the Mediterranean way of eating, stopped logging, and made several batches of homemade cookies and breads. I'm a carb hound, and accountability is the only way to get my weight back down. Starting over again.

Hi Claire , there are a lot of great AA speaker tapes on YouTube to help break up the "no meeting" dilemma in my routine. I also have to trust that God has a plan for me in all this and I just need to do the footwork. which for right now is to be as useful as I can be. I hope that you can find a place of peace on this part of the journey.

Oh, Clair, it is really tough right now on so many levels. "Normal" is hard enough for people who struggle with weight or any other issues. This very not "normal" world with all the extra challenges is just rough. I've returned to spending a lot of time here over the last while... Seeking and giving support and keeping focus of this particular part of life I actually can control. It is helping. Hang tight, girl! We are here! ❤️

Don't forget that even if you have an off day (or month 😉), you're not starting from day one if you start back on your diet. Every day counts and every day you don't diet - no big deal. It's not the same as quitting alcohol.

Thanks Shur I’m going to try that. Last night I’ve binged on pretzels and grapes. This morning I weighed in at 158.6. I started looking for tea in my cabinets because I thought I had some but I couldn’t find any so I’m gonna get to the store today and buy some. Thank you honey

Thank you lam for the positive reinforcement, you’re right about that at least I don’t have a hangover every morning I’m sober and I’m not ashamed of myself for what I did I’m not carrying guilt around. And I haven’t sabotaged my family. Gratitude is something I have to stay in all day long. Thank you for your positive comments
