Day Seven

I am officially back on track!  I stayed completely within my calorie count for the last three days.  I find it quite amazing the things I can eat as long as I don't overdo it.  Funny thing though, I don't want to eat those things like I used to.  They are just not as appealing as they once seemed, otherwise I would have definnitely caved yesterday durning the great donut temptation!!  I began thinking about why a person gains weight and decided there is no one answer.  Each person gains for different reasons.  My biggest reason, is stress!!!   When I feel stressed or have anxiety, I eat, of course I couldn't be one of those girls that intentionally induce vomitting instead (just kidding).  So, to keep from over eating or emotional eating I have to determine what makes me stressed in order to avoid those things.  Things that make me stressed...hmmm...well, one thing that makes me stressed is weighing daily.  I decided that stepping on the scale daily is just too stressful so I am only going to be weighing weekly now.  I think I get another gray hair each time I think about getting on that thing!!  Work is another stressful thing high on my list, however, I cannot avoid it so I must learn new methods of coping that do not involve food, or could it involve food?   I could throw food at people who stress me out, I could stomp food when I am upset or cut it up or put it in the shredder, hmmm, I should explore this idea further.  Anyway, I am sure there are many other things that stress me out but I am really just to stressed to think about it today (LOL).  So weight on me until next time when I can reveal other stressful things to avoid!!
