Or in my case the cookie!
Since things have been busy this summer, I have found it really difficult to stay on a healthy eating plan.
I got a rude awakening at WW Class on Wednesday and I decided that I am not happy where I am weight-wise, so it’s time to take control and get back on track.
If you have never had a weight problem I think it would be hard to understand. I find it hard to cut back and avoid the foods that bring me joy. (Like Fresh Whole Belly Clams, fried in a delicious batter!) I know, however, that this is what I must do.
Being over sixty now is also a challenge to weight loss. It just doesn’t come off the way it once did!
I hate to be counting points every time I put something in my mouth, but honestly, it’s the only way I am going to conquer this!
I’m also an emotional eater. If something upsets me or I start feeling depressed, I find myself reaching for a cookie, chips, chocolate, etc.
Obviously, that is the wrong thing to do and it has only increased my unhappiness as I have watched the numbers on the scale go up and up!
So it’s back to writing everything down and trying to get a handle on my weight. Oh, to be 16 again, when I could miss a few meals and get back to the weight where my clothes fit!
Like that is going to happen! Ha!
The cartoons are funny. Please don’t make yourself miserable by not eating what you enjoy. Just have a small amount.
I’m with you … I need to get back into a weight loss groove.
With you as well. Picked up ten since Christmas. Chocolate is evil. I come out of a trance and there is an empty bag of chocolate in my hands
What you said about being an emotional eater made me chuckle. People say “Oh, I’m so upset, I couldn’t eat a thing!” but in my case it’s “I’m so upset, I need chocolate and more chocolate!” LOL
