I did NOT stress eat!

[Obsessed w/Disney in OH]

I don't like to brag, but for once in my life, I did NOT stress eat these last 2 days and I sure could have and would have in the past!

We found out over the weekend that a dear friend's father passed away and we made a quick decision to travel 4 hours to be with her and her family. After about 30 phone calls to make arrangements for the kids to get to all of their after school committments and find friends for them to stay with, packing, work arrangements, etc.--we took off for our trip. On top of that, while we were gone, my oldest daughter's boyfriend broke up with her and is no longer taking her to homecoming(it's this coming weekend!).

In the past, I would have made this the perfect excuse to eat and eat without remorse. However, I had my DH take me out to the best steakhouse in town when we arrived at our destination. I had my allowed protein and salad and that sustained me for the difficult visit last evening. Today, we went out for a healthy breakfast, I passed up the homemade desserts at the lunch after the funeral, and I packed allowable snacks for our roadtrip home today. I even walked tonight, although I am exhausted!

I am so happy with myself!

Good for you! You have every right to be proud of yourself.

So sorry to hear about your friend's father and your daughter's boyfriend.

Good for you!! I think when we are able to handle difficult moments like these it helps us to know that we are making a lifetime of changes.

Good for you.

Passing those kind of tests are a sure sign your weightloss will be permanent. I'm so happy for you.
