Friday night is usually our family movie night. We grab up whichever kids are home and move the couch close and have pizza and popcorn, etc. I really thought I was strong enough to not overdo....but I wasn't. I did really well all day long yesterday, even walked farther than normal....but pizza to me is what my old Weight Watcher leader used to call a "red light" food. DANGER! lol. I had salad and should've had one piece of pizza...it wasn't even that great! And....who can watch a movie without popcorn? Honestly, I didn't even want it when I ate it. At least it was a light popcorn :) I felt that uncomfortable stuffed feeling again for the first time in a couple of weeks and I hated it. But (another WW leader saying...) it's not what I did...it's what I do next! I evaluated what I did wrong...strategized so I do better next time (not even one piece...) and got up early this morning and walked a mile.
I notice I am able to walk a little faster now after two weeks. I am very proud of that, because I have limitations...but God is helping me! I ate healthy all day today, and stayed really busy. I got so much done today and really feel a sense of accomplishment.
Please everyone reading this...know my heart. I don't write any of this to brag on myself. That's why I'm being so honest. I do it for a healing for me...and I pray that it helps someone else that battles with emotional overeating. Onward and upward! (But down on the scale please :))
