another day
Today was an ok day. I had alot going on and I still did't over eat. I didn't eat breakfast until noon. I know that's not good, but i just didn't get hungry and I was busy doing stuff. I picked up my son from college and the drama started right away. He is an addict and cannot understand why I won't trust him when he has continually lied to me and has stolen money to support his habit. It makes me angry that my money goes to purchase drugs. He is still a minor so I am responsible for him, but he was incarcerated for three years and then he went to live in the dorms. So he has a hard time not having the freedom he has had at the dorms. Anyway, the point is that this situation is a major stressor for me and so far I seem to be handling it well, at least where my eating and exercise is concerned. I did not overeat. I went shopping and I did include some junk food for treats now and then, and I did have some, but I did not go overboard. Normally this stressor would cause me to relapse into binge eating and just throwing out the progress I made. I weighed myself and I was up almost a pound but I contribute that to the fact that I usually weigh in the morning and now I weighed at night. Besides the was yesterday that I weighed last and I know weight can fluctuate a couple of pounds for now apparent reason. Overall, I'm proud of myself for not binging in the face of one of my biggest stressors. Of course the ball game is not over yet. He may be here all summer with me, so there will be many more stressful days ahead. I need to stay ready. Today I actually walked on the treadmill instead of going to the fridge when I felt stressed. That's a big deal for me because it means I am finding other ways to deal with stress. I kinda feel like chains are breaking off of me right now. I really do feel a little freer from the hold of food. Still not sure how to handle my boy, but I'm going to take care of myself anyway.P.s. Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying line in the middle of my screen. It says 'Share Page' and it only happens on this site. It is very annoying
