I came to a realization today about myself.....I usually have to sit and rest a few minutes several times a day to help with the fibro fatigue......and today I realized that I am sorta subconsciously feeling that I must justify those breaks somehow....and I've been having a snack to do that....you know, like a coffee break! The problem, you ask? Well, thanks to that, I have gained 13 lbs....

So now, I am consciously NOT eating during my breaks, drinking water instead.......has anyone else done this, or am I nuts and alone??? LOL

HUGS from down south :)

YAHH I THINK I HAVE TO BE EATING SOMETHING OR HAVE A GREEN TEA I HAVE BEEN CUTTING UP VEGGIE & GRAB A HANDFUL OR FRUIT BUT CUT IT UP SO YOU ONLY EAT TWO OR THREE VEDGES ON A BREAK!
I HAVE ALSO BEEN SITTING ON MY EXERCISE BALL INSTEAD OF A CHAIR! TO STRENGTH MY STONACH MUSCLE JUST SITTINGON IT ENGAGES THE MUSCLES W/ NO MOVEMENT SO I JUST RELAX THERE FOR 5-10 MIN OR I LAY ACROSS IT BACK OR STOMACH! REALLY HELPS TO STRETCH EVERYTHING= HURTING!

Nope, I do that too. It's a bad habit with me. Maybe it's a "reward" for actually getting something done and being such a good fighter against pain. :)

Get a good book, and reach for that at your break or chair sitting time, instead of food. Only thing is you get hooked on the book. LOL
