Okay, I admit it I have been very bad the last 2 days. I have a good excuse but it really doesn't matter I have to overcome my weekness of eating my emotions. Most of you who have ready previos post know that I work on a ambulance. (I love my job, but there are days that even when you make a difference it still gets to you.) Thats when my emotions took over and I reached for my comfort food. I can not tell you much about the call we had that sent me over the edge, just that it involved a toddler. ( I can usually handle anything, I see everything from paper cuts to death. I can not really explain why this one bothered me so much but it did.) I am still convienced that it was not us that turned the situation around for the patient but the good Lord himself. I really shouldn't be this upset, the toddler is expected to make a full recovery, but it was real touch and go there for awhile. I just wanted to run home when it was all over and hug my own children. But we stayed at work, and my partner and I pigged out the rest of the shift. (I know eating my emtions is not a good thing.) This is the first time I have fallen off the path of good eating since I started a few weeks ago.

Now I am starting over today. I have to go to my weigh in, and not expecting a good results. But I am not going to let this stop me.

Please help me to get up and going again. We are having our family thanksgiving dinner tonight since I have to work on thanksgiving. I have so far been very good and not strayed from my goal today. But I can not use my reason for the other day as a excuse to fall today. I have carefully planned our menu to go along with the low cal, low fat eating habbits I am trying hard to work in as my lifestyle changes.

Thanks buddies.

You are fine....everyone does this...but the key is like the poster before me...."how quick you get back in the saddle" as they say...Give yourself credit for that...instead of saying oh well and binging a few more days....you start right back up...that's just human....
Some people can't eat when they are emotional or upset....I am like you....I have acid reflux....losing weight will help that....but....when i get it bad ....i even eat to help with that....
keep posting ....and keep trying...

Went for my weigh in today. I lost another 3 lbs. So I am down a total of 16.4 lbs in 33 days. I am rather excited about this as the hope of reaching my christmas goal draws closer. Another 3 lbs and I have it. I haven't really noticed any change in my clothing, but I mainly wear uniforms all the time, and they have never fit properly anyways. Well anyways I am happy to report that even if I did fall off the wagon, my efforts for jumping right back on the next day paid off. Thanks for allthe support.
