[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 203457, member: 3388"] Sharon (WO), I'm sorry you hurt your back. I think it's a good idea that you're taking it easy on the weights for now. By now, I hope you're over your cold. I totally understand the emotional eating thing. Like you and Fran too, I eat for all sorts of reasons. I know I shouldn't do it, I hate myself for it once I've splurged, BUT, lately, I just don't stop myself from grabbing a "sugary fix" even though I know rationally, it is only a very temporary solution and one that won't last. I also know what you mean about not wanting to get on the scale. I feel the same way. I have to force myself to do it. My favorite pair of "skinny" jeans are tight too. I'm going to keep them out and force myself to try them on once a week. How about doing this together? WE CAN DO THIS!!! Sharon (LDM), You are doing great - Down 47 pounds IS a MAJOR accomplishment!!! I'm very proud of you. You're a great inspiration to us all. It's ok to eat a bit more than usual sometimes. It's how you eat most of the time that matters the most. Don't feel guilty if you don't want to spend lots of additional time at the gym. I think it's easy to "burn out" when you try to exercise too much. What about alternating weights with your water fitness classes instead of trying to add additional time in the gym? Jennifer, I don't really have any advice that would be helpful for you because stress is just a trigger for me to eat emotionally. I'm glad that you're trying to take care of yourself. I'm also glad that you recognize the fact you need to eat - Maybe try to just eat a bit of your favorite foods when you're really stressed. I know that if you don't eat enough for long periods of time you can slow your metabolism. Don't let that happen!!! Trinity, HAPPY BELATED 40th!!! HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING!!! I think you've given yourself some excellent advice. Try to make yourself go for a short walk. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! If you do it, then I think you'll motivate me to walk more too. I think walking more, instead of trying to jog as much as I do, will help me more in the long run. How about starting tomorrow morning? I know I really shouldn't jog tomorrow. Too bad you don't live anywhere near me... WE CAN DO THIS!!! Fran, Like you, I tend to be totally into healthy eating or totally emotionally eating. For me, it's like being on a roller coaster sometimes... I wish I knew how to help every one of us who eats emotionally... Well, I've got to go. easy child will be home from school soon. Everyone, let's try to make tomorrow a healthy day... WFEN [/QUOTE]
