What a week! but it’s all good..
I have been AWOL but I’m back on board now. Had 2 major crisis at work that have taken up most of my days since I got back. Anyway I knew I needed to check in today and get back on track. I feel like a wrung out dishcloth to be truthful, I just want this week to be over ASAP!
Foodwise I have not done too badly, had a few things off plan but no major breakouts. I only ate emotionally once, and given what I’ve been dealing with that is amazing for me!. I am really trying to ask for support when I need it instead of always toughing it out. That is a bad habit I have, of trying to do things on my own and then eating to deal with the stress. Yesterday a very serious situation happened and I went up and saw the Big Boss, I was pretty shaken up and usually I would not want them to see me like that, but they were fantastic! Really supportive and took steps immediately to make sure I had the back up I needed. It’s OK for me not to have it all together all the time. And most people will help if we ask for it. Thats what I am learning is under a lot of my eating, my stubborn need to be independent and not appear needy.
I haven’t been able to exercise this week which I have missed. The mornings are really cold now which is not encouraging at all. I might have to change to treadmilling after work I think.
I can’t get my hair done till next week, so no photo till then. OK I’m back on plan, dealing with challenges in the real world, instead of eating my feelings of stress!

Good job on the Emotional Eating front. Sorry you are having work troubles.
I am going to miss your current picture Jayne. Every time I see a green helmet, I laugh thinking how mad this poor kitty was!!
Awesome Jayne. Under the circumstances, sounds like you weathered things pretty well. So proud of you!
Good Job Jayne…I know it so hard not to eat when stress is driving you crazy. Sounds like you are doing everything you can to stay in control. Keep up the good work.

Jayne, once again I can relate. I too have a hard time asking for help, it sucks because as much as I would like to think that I can do it all, I really can’t. No one is able to. So, kudos to you for recognizing such weakness and doing something about it. I hope your next work week is better and please, get on that treadmill, if you don’t, I will send Tatiana EC after you!
Alright Jayne.
Very proud of you for turning away from emotional eating. Keep it up.
