Ya ever have just a downright bad, emotional day??? Between TOM, no sleep last night, and still getting over this virus.....AND having an all out stressful day of being pulled in every possible direction trying to please a whole boatload of people.... I swear I almost had a major meltdown today... actually i did have a meltdown. I had to go cry in one of my co-workers cubicles and then go straighten up. I NEVER cry at work. Anyway, this day has proven to me that I still have emotional eating issues. I'm owning up to it...writing it down for all to see...and hopefully being held accountable will keep me from doing this again. Venti triple decaf sugar free vanilla latte 20g Protein Vanilla almond Biscotti 3g Protein Protein balls 10g Protein 1 beef taco 10g Protein? here's the bad part....after my crying episode... 1 pack of Peanut butter M & Ms....and I didn't dump! A banana 1g Protein Shredded crock pot chicken w/ green beans 20g protein Venti Triple decaff sugar free Vanilla latte 20g Protein Chocolate hazlenut biscotti 3g Protein 87 grams of protein. (I didn't bother to read the M&Ms to see how much protein was in them) About 1600-1700 calories today. I can not believe myself. I've been thinking about it and when i bought that dag blasted candy, I was sooooo down it was almost as if I had this "I don't care what happens to me" attitude - self-destruction mode - suicide by food. I just can't go back to acting that way again. how's everyone else doing? Hugs, Pam

WOW wish i could loose my last way via plastics. WOULD you mind emailing me what you had done! I cant get my last 10 off and seem to be done looseing. MAYBE your storey here can change my mind! HUGS and all my prayers for your recovery! lisa
