Week 18 Weigh in for Sister2
Week 18 just about pushed me over the edge. It started last Tuesday with an earthquake, preparations for the first day of school (which has now been delayed 4 days), Hurricane Irene, a fire at one school, a water main break at another, stress-related work issues for me and stress-related work issues for my husband. WAY TOO MUCH to handle in the course of one week. Moments that I wanted to cry or get on a rocket ship and just head to outer space. My healthy eating habits that I have struggled to keep in place for 17 weeks went out the window. It was a week of monumental events that accumulated into a never eating binge on cookies (Pizza, Chinese and Popeye's...). Salad, vegetables and fruit weren't a thought, measuring food was a distance memory and my Weight Watchers food journal is empty. I feel like I haven't sleep in a week and amazed I made it to the gym. I'm snapping at my children and have hardly planned any meals. Working past midnight every night and am exhausted.
Today, I am desperately trying to get back on track. Logged in my food and already had fruit and a healthy snack. Must find it somewhere in me to remember the reasons why I'm trying to loose weight, why it's so important and now that there are no other natural disasters coming at the moment, I have to get a grip on reality and my eating.
Looking for words of encouragement.

You are not alone. Don't forget on top of the crazy week that seemed to happen...mercury was in retrograde as well. Though I'm sure that has something to do with communication and contracts from what I've read...I would think that blurred over into WW point issues as well. (One can only hope anyway.) It was a brutal week with way too much happening...come on...floods, power outages, school, locusts. I did eat lots of veggies as I tried to empty my warming fridge of food but I washed it down with a Wendy's single, pizza, popcorn and big, fat, tall juicy mocha coffees from Dunk. It was a horrible week and I didn't even log in once. I will forgive you if you forgive me and we will call it even and get back on the horse...it just might take a little more heave this time ;)
ReplyDeleteI forgive you! My constitution can only take so much. Working past midnight (including weekends) for over two weeks. I'm exhausted and eating again late at night when I should be sleeping. Just too much to handle. And it seems in both our cases (and others) eating right is the first to go. So hard to take care of ME when the whole family and house and dog need ME so much...
