This week, despite trying to eat well (and less) I ate more and ate badly. I managed to lose a pound (maybe) from last week's weigh-in--but I am not sure if that is down to my period being over, or from food intake or what. I'm going to guess it's a slight combo, and leave it at that.
This week is also going to be a big stress week--my hunny is going away for 2 months to visit relatives and help them sort out some legal crap, and I have an uterine ultrasound scheduled for the day after he leaves, then the next week back to the regular GP and see what she says from there (aside from my BP is too high, I'm still borderline diabetic (or maybe I am full on diabetic) and too fat. Yeah, ok. great.
Now, despite the kitchen pipes still being frozen I am trying to be upbeat about all this. I have an event that I want to attend at the end of April and I would like to start making a dress for it--but I don't dare (I think) make it on the small side, hoping I'll fit and won't need to last minute alter it--but....If I've lost weight I'd like it to be visible.
Oh well. Better move my ass more, drink more water and try not to let the stress get to me so much.
Stress eating is my biggest downfall (aside from depression) and I am actively trying to walk away from eating when I feel that stress-eating urge wash over me.

Sometimes the scale owes us and sometimes we owe the scale. Take the loss and keep going. Great job!

Thanks Suzi, I think you must be right about that! :)

I have found myself to be a boredom eater. Since starting my weight loss journey I've been trying different methods to beat the 'eating just because', and what's worked best so far has been a sort of replacement. Anytime I find myself reaching for food despite not actually needing to eat, I try to find something else to occupy my mind/time. Having the event in April will also give you something else to focus on. If you find yourself ready to snack, ask yourself if you want whatever you were thinking about nomming on more than you want to be comfortable at your event. Good luck :)

As another stress eater I know what you are saying and all I can say is take one hour at a time. I am doing better at controlling my impulse to run to food but it's not easy so take the scale number and pat yourself on the back

Kitty-eared-girl, I know what you mean and I agree with what you've suggested. Right now I consciously try to drink water when I find myself heading "in search of" food. It helps although not always. And yes, it is good to have a goal like making the dress!
BrenIL, I appreciate that--I really do. Sometimes it's so hard to look beyond the scale# (good or bad) and realize that as long as I don't give up I'm still on the right track ;)
