For the first time...

In my life, I didn't turn to food! Yesterday was the worst day of my life. I had a little situation with my baby and his school.(he is fine) Anyway I was sooo stressed. There was even one point where I actually heard myself say "ok what can I eat...I need something sweet. But then I heard the same self say..."you will not put 1 thing into your mouth! YOU will deal with the problem". And I did, I made myself a protein drink...focused and did what I had to do as a mother Now I'm not gonna say that I didn't have a drink at the end of the nite ,when all was said and done, but I am so so happy that I was able to self talk myself out of that situation. Today is day 3 of my breakin bad habits weeks. I think I might be getting it!

Excellent!!! I'm proud of you for not letting yourself slip back into your old habits. Keep up the good work Sue McD

Good for you Aliya! You should be so proud of yourself. I hope everything's okay with your son. Becky

Aliya! I guess you and I were having the same day yesterday. I also had an incident with my little boy's preschool yesterday and I too wanted to make myself feel better by eating. I get so tired of people's inefficiencies!! Anyway, I did handle it the correct way, by going there in person and confronting the problem and it all worked out in the end. Thanks for sharing, it makes me remember that others are dealing with the same things I am!! Congrats on your restraint!!

Lisa, I am also mad at people's incompetencies! I am better today, thanks!

Good for you Aliya! You're an inspiration!

Excellent! Breaking the cycle of dealing with emotional situations by eating is fabulous! Many kudos, my friend! Kathy

Way to go girl! You deserve a huge pat on the back for handling the situation so well! I know that I've been tested this past week as well with my son. Fortunately, the worst thing that I've done so far is eat some pasta last night for supper, but I haven't turned to sweets or anything else.
