For one thing you couldn't hear me, and for another, I feel the exact same way at times. <BR/><BR/>But you know, it occurs to me that it IS a wee bit silly of us to fear that one little wiggle will unravel everything. We have PROVEN our strength and our commitment, and we should believe in ourselves more. That said, it's definitely NOT silly to be mindful of it and to do everything we can to get back to our new normal.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you a less stressy week ahead!Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-41518325488216167612009-04-12T19:55:00.000-05:002009-04-12T19:55:00.000-05:00It is so hard to keep the stress under control but...It is so hard to keep the stress under control but at least you knew why it was happening and know you have to find better ways to manage or limit the damage done. <BR/><BR/>I wish we could both find better, less stressful jobs but it doesn't seem likely in this economy (even though I have an interview this week). <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a less stressful week.<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter!MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01430150187237706515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-44787354932409795912009-04-12T16:03:00.000-05:002009-04-12T16:03:00.000-05:00I hope you're enjoying Easter, Heather! Hopefully ...I hope you're enjoying Easter, Heather! Hopefully things at work won't be as crazy this week.<BR/><BR/>Most people I know, including those of perfectly normal weight, eat more when they are stressed, and it seems like you had some major stress going on. But what you described hardly qualifies as binging; you just had one instance of mindless, distracted eating. I don't see a pattern here, and it's not like you ate one week's groceries worth of food. Just be kind to yourself, the weight will come off eventually :-)<BR/><BR/>I do hear you about the fear of going back to your old habits, though. I am very scared of that too, and very often I see my old self resurface and want to eat as if there's no tomorrow. It's a constant battle, and I only hope that with time it will get easier to shut the old self up.Cereshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428630770293793075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-33119863644796061892009-04-11T15:47:00.000-05:002009-04-11T15:47:00.000-05:00Sending you love Heather. xxHave a nice Easter. xSending you love Heather. xx<BR/><BR/>Have a nice Easter. xChantelle {fat mum slim}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02167267576456836722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-7180269799040820252009-04-11T14:55:00.000-05:002009-04-11T14:55:00.000-05:00You said it yourself, you just have to do your bes...You said it yourself, you just have to do your best. And you also have to not be so hard on yourself. What's done is done nothing can change it so focus on getting through the rest of the weekend. And give yourself a break, you are nowhere near being that same person who ate herself through one stressful situation after another. I know how it is to fear being that person again but try to think about how far you've come and be confident that you will never go there again.<BR/><BR/>Have a great and stress-free Easter!Wei Sic Meowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146535439099605210noreply@blogger.com
