Sigh. Apparantly the stress over being offered a job is not different than the stress over not being. What happened to my willpower? I was so proud of myself when I started. I took such pleasure in using self-control and saying no to things. It is like that is all out the window now. I really think there is something to be said for me going to bed by 8 PM. The worst of the snacking happens after that! Will be good when there are no more Doritos in the house! I keep justifying all this by saying I am stressed. How long do I think that excuse is going to last?!

Dear, dear kimby.....

Don't sell yourself short because of lack of "willpower". I understand the stress you're under, especially when it comes to interviewing for jobs-they always have/always will, make me nervous...and plays a game with my head, ya' know "am i qualified enough?, etc"...

I have always heard that "we are our own worse enemy"...I have come to believe that.

I will be here to help you get back on your food and eating better "bandwagon" sis...I will be praying for you as I will for all of us who're struggling with our weight & eating/not eating.

Working at being able to completely submit myself to God in this area is what I pray about. I know HE knows what's best for me in ALL areas of my life. Sometimes though I think we all are so loud at beating ourselves up about our "failures" that we don't hear HIS voice telling us, "It's okay, we can start again tomorrow..."

May HE continue to bless us in this daily walk.

God Bless You sis

Daisy

Everything after 8:30 is a bit of a blur so I am making some guesses on some of that....I think it is fairly accurate though. Obviously my world fell apart after 8 PM. Not sure what was up with that, but I am not happy about it. I would have thought this would have gotten easier instead of harder, but in all honestly the first week or two was so much easier than the last couple have been

Not great, not horrible, but not great. Throw a couple bites of brownie in there somewhere while I was baking them for tonight. The scales were just plain evil this morning. I know I have not done great this week, but I also don't feel I have done add two pounds bad. So, so discouraging.

The scales are being a little kinder to me. I realise that some of the things I am eating are still not good...but I am happy that the amounts of it I am eating are down from what I would normally do. My cold took a turn for the worse yesterday and of course I wanted comfort food. Decided to make spaghetti and garlic bread. Glad I followed that prompting it was a nice treat.
