Two weeks ago my husband lost his job and by the grace of God he started another one this week. It is far from our dream job, no insurance etc. but as my husband said it is better than unemployment. On top of that we are a two family household with at that time only one income. So, all that being said I frigging pigged out. Now I have to get my head together and start over. Don't have to get on the scale to know I gained:-(
But, it's pretty much a given that we're going to encounter some bumps and obstacles on our weight loss journey. When I mess up, I just offer myself understanding and compassion, then try to learn from the experience and keep going. I call pounds that I have to re-lose being in "damage control mode". I hate it when I blow it like that, but, it's a much better option than just throwing in the towel and eating yourself into oblivion.
Congrats on your hubby getting a new job! Hang in there on your weight loss journey!

1. Continue to move backward or
2. Turn around and start moving toward your goal again.
You can do this! Don't beat yourself up because it just creates a vicious cycle. If you are like me, the way I beat myself up is to eat some more. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, forgive yourself for being human and choose to make your next choice a healthy one. :-)
