Good news! I won biggest loser again today at work! Another prize, yay for me!
I'm learning a lot about myself, my choices and "my triggers".
My eating choices are more ingrained..... the cravings are so much less now, which is good. I'm sworn off booze (I know, who AM i?) but its really helping me get to my goal. I found out I was/am an emotional eater. I never really thought of myself as one before.... but I've come to realize I was fooling myself. Not only was I eating out of boredom, but I eat when Im upset/stressed out. Today, my husband and I began to bicker and I noticed a craving kick in right away. Had I had those backup chocolate almonds, I would have cheated! Im glad I have no tempting treats in the house!!
I find I am also triggered by diet pop cus it tastes sweet so I've sworn that off too. Im triggered if I smoke a bowl and then I have the munchies.... thats the worst.
I am pleased with my progress. Im down 20 pounds... hopefully I can loose another 10 by the end of January.
Tonight is good tv, so I better hit the gym so I can watch the American Idol Auditions. I also like the "I Used to be FAT" reality tv on mtv. Inspirational!
