Where is everyone? Is it harder to follow rules in the summer?

Hi, just checking in before the weekend, and the board is surprisingly quiet.  Just checking in on everyone!

Now that the weather is better, I find that I am having more cravings....ice cream, soda pop, french fries, popcorn.......is anyone else having those extra cravings?

Let's chat!

I have been out gardening and hiking every available minute.  I have had another loss in my family and I have changed jobs and my husband has been ill,,,,,I have been stress eating like crazy.   have gained a few pounds but I earned all three pounds.

I hope your hubby is better soon.  I know all about stress eating!  Now that my husband is home and we are trying to work out some issues, I too am eating when I feel overwhelmed, but I also eat when I am happy so there seems to be no happy medium.

My hubby is better. He saw a uroligist  and he thinks he had a kidney stone that didn't show on the CT scan. He said there are no more stones. Thank goodness. He really suffered for over a week.

my biggest eating issuen is sweets, especially ice cream. I gave in yesterday and today. I am on liquids and starving. I am hoping that once I can eat, I have more will power.

Don't be too hard on yourself Charline. You have just name three of the five biggest stressors there are. The only things missing are divorce, and moving. It is perfectly natural to fall back on food for comfort at times like this. You are right you have deservied those three pounds and no one could blame you too much if it had been thirteen pounds. You are doing remarkably well consider the fall and sproing you've been through. Keep up th good work walking and gardening. Have you been to the cottage lately?

Thanks for your kind words. I went last weekend to work. but my Aunt & cousins cottage is just down the shore and strangers are in it., so I don't really want to go down.
