Hi Shelly,

I understand, I feel like I am in a black hole, basically since the last great recession. I don’t have children(wanted them—but that’s another story).Never really recovered my career after the last great recession, not a homeowner due to the downturn and am looking at never retiring unless I win the lotto. When I get very stressed I…[Read more]

I’m going to try and rewatch the ones with Michael, it’s inspiring because he is a bit older and really went for it.

Killing it!

I am currently going through a wave of discomfort, similar to what you were sharing last night. I feel so frustrated and tense. I want to overeat, but I’m making myself walk my dog and take care of some errands outside the house. I also had to throw away a hard-boiled egg because it was tempting me to eat it. I love a hard-boiled egg sandwich, a…[Read more]

I totally could have reached that had I stayed the course. Hmmmmm.  Wonder why I self sabotage when I get so close!!???  A…[Read more]

From my experience, it (not eating for emotional comfort) does make the emotions more prominent.  We have to find a way to deal with emotions.  That is the key to long term success.  I thought I had this conquered, but stress eating since Labor say has gotten me off track.  I am trying to pinpoint what I substituted for the emotional dea…[Read more]

I also wonder if part of my extreme emotions tonight is also because I am eating so little.

Go get it Allison! I am not sure with the amount I have to lose I can do goal this year? Time will tell I guess

Great word Michelle. We can all do it

Good ones! As I said in chat, my word is Equanimity.

Practicing equanimity regarding my compulsion to overeat will help me calmly move through hunger with grace and patience, acknowledging the sensation without becoming overwhelmed or reactive. Instead of resisting or fixating on it, I can observe hunger as a passing experience, remain grounded…[Read more]

“Goal” is my word!!
