b - chicken biscuit and a tea l - 3" of a 6" club sandwich from blimpie, chips and a tea (didn't drink all the tea..) s - the other 3" of the sandwich d - salad no exercise as I teach at my church on Wednesdays.....until the end of the month (unless you count driving and running errands as exercise...LOL) no water.....I'm bad I know. Got my vitamins in though. No extra protein either. BAD day....but no "candy"

B - 1 snack pack cottage cheese w/splenda S - 1 Light Yogurt L - 4 oz. tuna with miracle whip light, 4 saltines S - South Beach Protein Bar Snack # 2 - Another protein bar from convenience store to curb appetite before I shopped for groceries! Too many calories in this one...200 I think. D - Roast chicken, skin removed...probably 5 oz. (a lot) few bites of carrots/peas large serving of cabbage slaw...(cabbage and miracle whip lite) Bedtime Snack - Frozen strawberries, partially thawed w/splenda and TWO BIG dollops of lite cool whip. Maybe 40 ozs of water...coffee in the morning...a cup of green tea at a point.....Vitamins & calcium!

Hi Tami, Just wanted you to know how much I relate to your stress eating....I expect there's a bazillion of us out there, but somehow it feels like we're all alone in this sometimes. I have truly had that lightbulb go off where my eating is triggered by stress...I mean, it has become SO clear. Before when I could eat by the handsful I think I thought I was a stress eater...but as of late, as I've gotten to the 18 months mark there was a moment of such clarity...riding in the car...totally stressed, depressed, whatever one would call it and it just hit me...JOYCE! pay attention, this impulse you have to eat is soooo strong! It was a revelation of sorts, ya know? Unmistakeable, undeniably a cause/effect situation with stress/eat. I'm like you I fight those demons all the time..... I'm also a night eater.....but that manifests itself MORE when I'm depressed, stressed, etc. I blamed my husband for it...lol...now he's on a food plan and going to bed early due to work and I'm sitting up still fighting the urge to eat and many times LOSING the battle! Ive caught myself just pure grazing on bad things two weeks prior to this one....this week I'm really trying to focus again...the posting we're doing is helping me with that. I'm on the wayout the door to walk during my lunch at work and I'm jotting down little notes about what I've eaten. That's good! I never keep food journals and it's soooooo important! I just read portions of your profile again and just wanted to say how happy I am for you that you've found Joe. You sound incredibly in l....u...v! That's always heartwarming to see folks just oozin' with it! ;) Continued success in this journey....I have the same fears and worries that you speak of in your profile. Thanks for sharing.
