Learning to embrace the spikes!! Yesterday was more difficult that I expected. Not eating wise, not even in terms of being troubled by the weight gain but work was very stressful. Not my favorite way to come back from a nice, relaxing, fun few days off but oh well ... life happens.
This time my spike was even higher than my Wedding trip. Don't really know why but it is. After one full day of good hydration and lower calories I dropped 3 lbs. So ... obviously much of that was water retention. Maybe more of it still to come. Although I'll be happy to be back below 180 I surprised to find myself taking this pretty much in stride this time around.
Oh there was one difficult moment yesterday with food. During our staff meeting someone brought not one but two cream pies to share!! One was a sour cream lemon, the other some kind of gooey chocolate cream pie. I WANTED to eat some!!! It was so hard to look at it. I rationalized in my head I could have just a small sliver of each. But ... it didn't feel right. I was already very stressed by the meeting and I knew I would not be choosing to eat it from a strong place. So, I did not. I am glad I passed it by. I was not in the right frame of mind to enjoy it and I fear it would have triggered mindless eating later in the day.
So today is another day. I have several evaluations to write ... I hope I can get one or two done today. I had a good night's sleep and feel less stressed this morning. And, tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! I hope y'all are taking good care of yourselves!!

Fate is tempting us both with the sweets! lol Still two slices of that chocolate cake in my refrigerator, taunting me. Good job avoiding the temptations!

Congrats on staying away from those pies. That gain from the 24th to the 29th of almost ten pounds is most certainly an illusion and will drop back off naturally so, no worries there. Perhaps a single low day will cheer you up and remove some of that stress. At any rate, choose to be happy and have a wonderful day.

Great control around those pies! I love the way you thought it through and made a decision best for the moment. Pies are not always evil. Timing, balance and motive make all the difference!

I agree pies are not always evil ... but I could feel it in my bones ... I wanted to DEVOUR the whole pie ... not just one little piece!!! Yesterday was a difficult day!! LOL!!! Fortunately today is better ... life is good ... even when life is difficult ... life is GOOD!!! Don't worry ... be happy!!! I hope you are right Info ... that the 10 lbs is an illusion. 3 of them melted off by this morning ... let's hope the rest fades away as easily!! I am working at lower calorie days for a bit ... to encourage the melting!!

Avoiding those pies was amazing and knowing that would have been stress eating was great insight. You will get that vacation weight off, of that I have no doubt. :-)

You "take the cake" Girl! You know that? No. Wait a minute you did NOT take the cake nor did you take the pie. Way to "man up" and NOT take the pie. You did the right thing. Sometimes when we cave, that feeling of "Well. Here we go again" comes over us. It's the beginning of the end. Keep the faith!
