WT 218  Calories 1180

I wake early. Usually poke something in my mouth pretty quick.  Look at the boards a while and then fix my coffee.  The quiet of the house.  The inside dogs sleeping.  Planning what to do with my day.  I am calm.  The peace I find is wonderful.  The day is fresh.  I have not eaten any flying foods.  I have not grazed.  This time of morning I'm at my lowest weight of the day.  I have no anxiety.  This doesn't last long.  But it does happen most mornings.  Thanks for being part of it.  I hope you can find a part of your day with peace.  Have a great Tuesday!

Morning all.

it is 2:45am here and eyes wide open.  

Dave what a nice post to start the day.   Everything is quiet here as well.

a wonderful day yesterday, ducked the f.f.   Steps a measly 7,898.

i hope that those of us going through family issues be they loved ones or packing boxes have a day of emotional peace.

and as for you teachers/ librarians, may your charges hang on your every word.   ?

128 on the DOT. Not too much flying food here, except for some chocolate that I ate last night. Quest bar #1 already in!

Hope those with family issues, whether it be with kids, parents, crazy roommates, or spouses are all doing well.

Bought boxes and tape rolls. Guess what I will be doing today? We have a family wedding out of town starting on Friday and then a mini family reunion Sunday-Tuesday. I had originally planned on taking the whole week off next week to visit with my parents who will be up North from FL for the wedding. I think I will have to head back home Wednesday instead to continue to get the house packed up. I have another 4 day scrapbook weekend already planned and paid for the 4th week in Septemeber, so we really do have very little time to get everything ready for an Oct. 1st move-in date. We don't actually close until mid October, so should have 2 weeks to actually move and clean. We will need it!

127.4    FF not making it past my shield.  For some reason, the Sargento Balanced Breaks are not a trigger for me, nor are popcorn, yogurt or nuts.  If I had a big bowl or bag of popcorn or nuts... yes... but I am okay with my allocated amount.  Crackers ... can't have in the house.  I totally get that I have to be vigilant, and this could shift at any time... especially if I get into sugar.

Had a bad dating experience, and didn't eat over it. I am in a pretty stable place.  I share my positive thoughts and energy with my maintenance family.  We all take turns being the wind, and needing the wind at our sails !!

Good Morning,

I love the early morning, as well.   This board is part of that.  Thanks all for being here.

Peace and hope,

145.4.  No FF so far today so off to a good start.  Planning to grocery shop tomorrow and try the Sargento Balanced Breaks.  I do ok with a single serving.  Foe example a 100 calorie pack of nuts is fine, sit me next to a regular bag and I would over do it.

I liked your post to begin the day David.  I struggle on pretty much a daily basis looking for inner peace.  This is such a huge part of my lifelong obesity battle.  Don't get me wrong, I like food!!  But so much of my over eating is tied to the fact that I was always hoping that feeding the anxiety would quiet it down.  Unfortunately it only worked for such a short period of time.  Now I am still a work in progress searching for ways to quiet my mind as I go through cycles.  Right now I'm having a rough cycle...too much work, trying to get the kids organized, too much to do and not enough time!  Haven't slept well for several days.  This too shall pass and I am thankful for the support I have found here.

I am at work today.  Exciting news is that my new Flip Belt for running should be delivered by Amazon today, a treat that I bought for myself.  Hoping to squeeze in a run to try it this evening if I get out of work early enough.  Was planning to run this morning but shut off the alarm and kept sleeping, heart just wasn't in it this morning.

Be well my friends!!

115 this morning, likely reflecting water retention after eating a lot of high salt options yesterday. It was a day where I purposefully allowed myself to feel 'full' on a day where I felt emotionally empty. Not a choice I make often, but yesterday was one of those days.

For me, that meant eating extra protein, most of it dense. No carbs or grazing, just larger portions of protein. Hence, my restriction protected me from any real damage. I actually vomited after trying to eat a small portion of cottage cheese after I ate a couple slices of deli meat. Stopped eating the cottage cheese after a couple bites, but still threw up. That stellar result was at dinner time and I ate nothing after that.

So that is done. Not something I'm proud of, but I consciously gave myself permission to cope that way yesterday and that was an alright choice for then.

We will be moving back into our home on or a few days before September 15, which looks like it won't be a moment too soon in terms of dealing with our daughter. She seems to be falling apart, even though the move was something she thought might help. We're deeply concerned and overwhelmed with this right now. Thanks for listening.

(((Hugs my dear))). If you need a break and like packing/cleaning - come visit me! Lol!

Great idea!  On my way 

Hugs!  Such a difficult time.  You will find your way!
