GRE my first major hurder since WLS
I am applying to go back to get my PhD in Exceptional Education, and one of the requirements is the GRE a standardized test which I guess tells them if you are smart enough to be in the PhD program. (I HATE standardized testing, I think it is the worse way to judge anyone, but I won't get on my soapbox about that now!)
I have been working with the GRE help book on the Math section every free minute of the day for a while, (which is one reason I've been a lurker and not a poster lately on the boards.) I took the GRE yesterday (10 - 15 days before I get the results) and as I drove home I realized, as stressed as I've been I didn't go for an unhealthy snack, I didn't overeat, I stuck with my diet and yes, stuck with my exercise.
I don't know if I passed the GRE test, but I sure feel like I've passed a MAJOR hurdle in not stress eating!!! I'm going to relax until the results! (and if I need to take it again, I will study again, and I wistress but I won't stress eat!!)
Thank you all, &
Congratz to all the new loosers!!!!!!!

You go girl that is awesome. It is funny that you posted this morning I was telling Phil last night that I am going to have to PM you and see what the heck is going on with you,because I haven't seen you posting in a few days............lol
I'm sure you will do just fine, be sure to keep us posted when you find out. The stress eating is/was a big deal for alot of us and it sure seem's like you have cleared that hurdle.
Keep up the good work.

Eeeew, the GRE! I was too cheap to take the expensive old test, and decided I wasn't really dedicated to go to graduate school. At least not for molecular biology type stuff. Meh.
I am so impressed with your mind shift to not turn to food in stressful times! I suspect that realization was worth the price of the testing alone! I'm still struggling with it, but these things take time. Fortunately, I have success stories like you to give me some inspiration. It CAN be done!
Congrats and I hope you kicked some standardized test BUTT!
Hugs!!!
