It's Thursday. This week I have really noticed that I still have the capacity to stress-eat. With all that has gone on this week I've been experiencing mental munchies. I even put some Kettle-Korn (microwave popcorn) in my mouth and spit it out. I've gotta get hold of myself. It's the chewing factor, I think, and I'm dealing with it full force. Days like these I end up having a bar every day.
And my water! This morning I made myself drink a big cup of water with a squeeze of lemon in it, and I have my next one right here, determined to drink it while I blog. I'm glad I still have a blog. Blogging is very beneficial to me, makes me write it down and focus on my goals. That way I'm not wandering around aimlessly, with no focus or goal. That's not a good combination for me: mental munchies and aimless wandering. Used to get me into trouble in the past. Now if I could just put things away and do some cleaning while I haplessly aimlessly wander with the mental munchies, ah, well then I'd be accomplishing something. Great idea, Stacy!
I can't get up from this chair until I finish this water. Then I'll feel more hydrated and much better. I think I went all day yesterday without having a glass of water! Bad Stacy!
But atleast I didn't fall down in the Half and Half area yesterday...nor today. It's like every morning I make a decision after my first cup of coffee. Do I have another? My morning coffee always has to have half and half in it, so the decision to have another is actually a decision to start the day off poorly. Sets the day up for failure. I rarely do it. But I've been tempted this week! This morning I had only one cup, then switched to water on purpose. Morning coffee and my Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal are my mainstays. My routine. I have even more resolve if I can get a couple glasses of water in me right off. So! This morning is a good day and will continue to be a good day. I'm going to stay away from the SugarFree Candy today....it gets my mouth moving, and mentally I think it erodes my resolve. I was even tempted by the soy butter last night! (Like peanut butter). And I don't even like it! That's when I knew I just had to go to bed...I thought of Anita and Queenbee and it turned me around with all the advice I've given related to the Peanut Butter issues!!!
Well, I am going to have a "quiet time" and get on with my day. What a glorious day it is! A bit drizzly and misty, a little rainy and a little (very little) snowy. I'll bet everything turns green in the next week or two! Yay!
See you all later!

No water? What are you doing to your body? Naughty girl. Get yourself hydrated. I actually will crave it if I haven't had it in a while. Kind of strange!
I am glad that today started off better. "STAY AWAY FROM THE PEANUT BUTTER" anything. There are days that I crave that also but it is not coming back into the house until I am at goal.
As for the munchies, Gum is the only viable solution! I am trying not to even have snacks. When I have the crisps or the crackers it just makes me want more. Not sure why?
Take care!
