Daily Post--4/14/08

I have problems with this at times. I find myself eating things I shouldn't. I appreciate reading everyone else's responses for suggestions to try. i will keep on trying . We can't give up Jolene

I've never been a stress eater (give me any other situation----I'll eat!) I do eat when I'm bored or lonely (DH traveling ob business) I try to get in my exercise and water before I eat and then I try to eat the "best" choice, even if I have two-three protein bars throughout the day instead of candy.

I try to exercise. Doesn't always work that way...or I'll just go to bed.

Right now I am not doing so well in this department so this is an excellent post to give me some ideas...thanks

I tend to get on the computer, have a glass of crystal light, or housework.

Go for a drive

I try to make healthier choices, but sometimes I fail, then I will bru**** off and try to do better. Today for example, I'm going for a longer walk than usual to make up for yesterday. Jules

I read if I have enough concentration for it. If not then I write......letters, journaling, doodles and nonsense..........whatever it takes until the urge to eat passes.

Ummmm...I eat. Thank goodness I can't eat like I used to! I try to go for the healthy stuff, like a handful of nuts, or a yogurt. If I NEED chocolate I'll go for 100 cal pack and eat half. This is a good question...next time I might try some of the suggestions here...like a good chat with myself or a walk! It's getting nice enough that a trip out the back door isn't as daunting!

I start cleaning!! I clean and clean and clean. It helps so much and I love when my house looks that good. I also get out my crafts and work on those. Anything to keep my hands busy. Michele
