Weigh in and Venting

[Guest guest]

Well the good news is that 3 more pounds have come off--that's a

total of 10 pounds since I began 3 weeks ago.

The bad news (Oh there was plenty of that this week!)

yet another round of layoffs at my work (I am not one...so far) but

I am worried about my job and my company.

and if that weren't enough-

I had to deal with " family sabotage " this week. Here's what happened:

My company announced the layoffs on Thursday. I had plans to take

my Mom out to dinner and shopping that night. I was in a great

frame of mind to be *strong* when ordering. Yep, only healthy food

for me!!! Next thing I know, Mom is saying " Have one of the spinach

and feta puffs you love. You know you're upset about work and those

will make you feel better. "

Then it clicks-all my life food was a comforter and a reward served

by Mom. Not that it's a bad thing to comfort and reward your kids,

but I never changed this habit in me AND I am now doing it with my

kids. (Ok....we're going to change that right away!)--oh yeah, I

had the puff

Then Friday, Hubby took me and the kids to a county fair and he

bought me all of my favorite foods. (Fried dough, ice cream, etc.)

because I was feeling worried about the job and he wanted to take my

mind off of it. Great, now he's doing the comfort/reward thing.

Don't get me wrong, they didn't put a gun to my head and force me to

eat the food. I did that on my own. I got big in the first place

because I have very little will power.

But I need to have a talk with them and let them know not to do that

anymore.

I was really surprised to find the 3 pounds loss this week. But

then I again I had a very bad head cold. And I had NO appetite from

Sunday to Thursday because of it.

Thanks for listening to me rant,
