Thats the way the cookie crumbles
well i guess i shouldn't be too disappointed that i gained a little. that's just the way the cookie crumbles especially when your eating it!! but anyway it could be worse. i could beat myself up over it or make a ton of excuses way but i'll just drop it and move forward.
today was the first day of a new week and my portion control went well and my hunger actually wasn't too bad. i've noticed that when i turn to the clock to see what time it is it will trigger me to think about if i've been hungry and then i'd thinking what could i eat so i don't starve. i now have things at work right at my hands and believe it or not just knowing that its there that feeling goes away and confirms i really wasn't hungry. i've tried to not look at the clock but i have a schd. keep w/ my patients so i subconsciously keep checking. but i think that's progress...=)
i am also feeling pretty happy about this journaling business. one of my issues is not keeping up w/ the pack on losing weight. i know, i know...this is my issue and i have tons of support telling me to take baby steps and it will happen, just stick w/ it and i guess a big part of me doesn't want to disappoint and as i said before i want to celebrate. i love fun and dancing around and tooting my own horn. but i have come to realize, i have met some really good people on here that really understand what i'm going through. they have shared their stories and health info. w/ me and i really appreciate that and i feel blessed to have met them. so off i go.....=)

Ever considered Weight Watchers?
Hi Emma Bella!
I've been reading for the past week or so.
I can relate to your weight issues so well. I've struggled with the same since I can remember. After trying so many eating plans, ww came to me when I needed it the most and guess what? It works! I am lacking motivation at the present time but when I look back and see where I started, I so not want to go back. If you can't afford meetings, you could do the online thing (comes to about $15/mo and it provides all the info and tools you need). You don't have to deprive yourself of anything. All you do is portion control. You already are on your way to a healthier you. WW might give your journey the additional tools you need to be successful. Another thing to consider would be going on Ebay and finding the WW starters kit. For some good reading and tips check out: www.healthdiscovery.net/forums
Good luck on your journey.
