Before After

Magic Wand

Ok. That's it. I'm waving the magic wand. Everything this week from the moment after I finished my 10K up until now has been magically erased. Ta da!

Seriously... this has been the worst eating week I've had in a long, long, LONG time. I seem to have completely lost the ability to control myself. The worst part is that I'm FULLY AWARE of what's going on. I know I've been eating because of work stress, the whole fiance's ex-wife thing (which I'll fill you in on in a sec), wedding stress, money stress, etc. I know exactly what I've been doing and precisely why. But I can't seem to stop myself. Seriously, it's like an out of body experience--watching my hand stuff food into my face and not being able (or willing?) to stop myself.

But I waved the wand and I'm starting over, so it is what it is.

So the whole ex-wife situation... My fiance told her at dinner last night that he's not going to see her again without me there (and her husband too). So I feel much better about that. Oh, and apparently one of the reasons she didn't want to meet me is that she's seen "skinny" pictures of me and FELT SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT HER WEIGHT. How ironic is that? I kind of feel for her now...

I need some positive vibes today, ladies. I really need a good day under my belt. I've got to get rid of all the bad feelings from this week and get myself back in a good place.

Have a great day!

You have the power

You know that song by Snap!  "I've got the Power".  Well, it's true and you do! 

And good for your fiance.  I'm very proud at him saying that.  It just goes to show that everybody has their own insecurities.  Even the ex-wife.

Make it a great day!

One Less Stress

Well, there's another HUGE stress out of the way.  I'm sure that will help.

As for the stress eating, looks like you're going to have to find other ways to deal (like running, or blogging for example).  I know, easy to say.  BUT... when I quit smoking last year I went for a walk every time I got the urge, and I ended up losing weight instead of gaining.

Have a wonderful, stressless day!
