Back on track!

I've lost 3.6 pounds this week for a total of 17.8 pounds gone. Whew! I did everything I said I would in my last post ... I drank lots and lots of water and wrote down everything I ate. I also did not go over on my points allowance, and didn't dip into my flex points too much. I felt in control and confident ... and I did it!

This is a big accomplishment for me because the stress of worrying over my mom has not gone away. I just decided to react to it differently -- instead of eating myself into oblivion, I spaced out my meals so that I was never hungry, and tried to work out my stress in other ways (like going to sleep, playing with my kids, going for a walk, etc).

I'm really proud of myself.
