Well, for accountability's sake I'm letting it be known that I'm on Day #1 of a starting over, cleansing, etc. etc. etc. I'm been doing a lot of compulsive overeating the past couple of weeks and I need to look at my "self-sabbatoge" tendancies. It's a very old tape that doesn't seem to want to erase.

Hope others are well. Typically the days after Halloween until New Years are a rough time for my compulsive overeating/self-sabbatoge.

I'm trying to think - oh mine started when I worked that last job (Sept 29) - and I am having a hard time getting back on the wagon. Not totally in full binge mode but still not all that healthy!

Work stress can do it Zoe. I recently got a new boss and I've had some difficult tiems adjusting, and it's been stressful. Thanks for the hugs. Hugs to you too!

I'm still holding on. I even turned down a Halloween cupcake today, which was easy, but not something I ordinarily would do. :)

Tonight though because I'm running late, it's veggie hot dogs, but I did have some kale for a veggie. I'm going to have blackberries and peaches for dessert.

Well, Tweety and I are on the same boat. :) Today begins a new day. I'm definitely committed now. I have so many things I want to stop that I can't even begin to name them all right now. New day, new me. :)

Specializes in Happily semi-retired; excited for the whole whammy.

I had a conference with my son's teacher yesterday and made cranberry orange bread for her. Of course, I made an extra for my own family and then, I don't know what came over me, but I proceeded to eat an entire half of the loaf. After eating healthy for so long my system couldn't handle all that sugar and fat (it was loaded with both!). I got the most brutal s/a. It served me right, though. And in a way, it was a good thing, because I'll think long and hard before I do something like that again!

mercy, I know the feeling well. :)

Hang in there Mave, one day at a time.

I'm doing o.k. I can't claim 100% compliance, a piece of Halloween candy here and there, some popcorn here and there. But all in all it's been a real good week for me. No overeating binges. I'm feeling good about myself for a change.

Wow guys! Hi!!! I know I've been completely sporadic and I'm afraid that may continue. However, while I was MIA I finished up school, passed my boards, got my RN license, and got a job at the Neonatal ICU at the hospital I wanted to work at! WooHoo!!! (I start the 24th!) I'm soooooooo excited!!!

As far as healthy goes . . . I have been absolutely horrible lately due to stress and having no time. I am moving though to the city that I am going to work in and I am hoping that helps. I will be away from the negative influences and really on my own completely, so that should help!!! I can't wait!

Well, must run, busyiness continues. Hope y'all are doing awesome!!!

Take care & HUGS!
