Let's have an "air it out" session...

Haha, I like this!  I "confess" to weighing myself every single day.  It's so not healthy, but I can't resist pulling the scale out and stepping on it every morning. 

Oh that's normal for the stage you're in! You want to see how you're progressing and that curiosity is natural. It becomes an issue when the dreaded STALL hits.

Yeah, I guess it's normal, but the surgeon told me point blank to stop weighing myself every day. 

oh I am right there with ya on that one.  Every morning I am on it religiously  and that is ok for me :-)

Sometimes I feel like I'm using the scale to keep my behavior in check, but I know I'm on it a little too much. :)

You might as well have read my mind... I "aired" a lot out last night, but I'll add to it here.

I ate like absolute CRAP yesterday for a lot of emotional issues... I mean, cookies/chocolate/crackers and about a million calories were yesterday's menu. Seriously, I expected my weight to be up this morning because I bet I could have topped a pound's worth of bad calories, no lie...

While the emotional issues aren't gone and aren't going to magically go away, I will NOT let this take hold and jeopardize my longterm health and weight-loss success. All I'd really like to do is wallow in my current depressed state of mind... but I am NOT going to do that.  I am going to get back on plan with eating today with focus on fluids, protein and vitamins... and I am going to release the negativity as best I can.  I am going to enjoy the rainy weather by spending some time reading, taking a bubble bath and getting some healthful exercise. I am going to focus on all that's positive in my life and appreciate my strengths instead of letting my old thinking and eating patterns rule me.

I can do this, because as well all know, WE ALL CAN DO HARD THINGS. (right?)

Right you are!

Hugs, Tori. I have faith that you are more than strong enough to overcome.

Thank you, Nikki... I truly appreciate that.  *hugs*

Ok..here it goes.  For the past week I have vented about bashing my co-worker with the stapler.  Did I mean it?  Yes I did.  LOL  She is obnoxious, overbearing, rude, and a know-it-all.  The other co-workers have commented on looks like I give her when she turns around or comments that I have made that are completely out of character for me.  This witch is bringing out the worst in me. 

Well.....Hallelujah there is an angel watching over me!!!   She is leaving in approximately 30 minutes to take the rest of the day off.  In 30 minutes, my mood will change.  I will be happy.  It's going to be a great day!!!!!!!!!!    The pending assault will have to wait until next week!!

Oh, I gotta tune in to see how this situation ends...
