Stress Eating

I haven't been doing so well in the weight loss department these past two weeks. I was so proud of making it through the Thanksgiving holiday with a weight loss but something changed immediately afterward.

Maybe it was getting to the end of the book club. Maybe it was the onset of the Christmas season. All I know is I've been feeling really stressed out, and I don't know why and it is affecting my eating. The sugar has crept back in. I haven't been praying about it. I need to stop myself now and re-evaluate and get things back on track before I undo the good I've done over the past 6 weeks.

My goal was to lose 5 pounds before I head to Mom and Dad's for Christmas. I'm going to try to refocus and work harder so I can accomplish that goal. This is a hard time of year for losing weight, isn't it?

Mom is visiting and just made a big batch of an all veggie soup from Weight Watchers that I love. That should help get me eating better again.

The Holidays are so hard on diets. I haven't been eating well either. I haven't been eating much, but I'm eating a lot of sweets and candy because they are around. I realized that I haven't been praying about it since the book stopped either so I stopped last night and prayed. I am setting a goal of 50 lbs in 6 months. I will begin as soon as the doctor clears me to workout, I am also going to begin the book again at the same time. Hopefully with your mom there you and her can encourage each other. Good Luck!
