Re: Holidays!

I know what you mean April. If I am eating cookies, I just wish I wasn't eating

them till I'm too full.

I also have the " I won't get these cookies tomorrow so eat up! " madness in my

head. I do allow myself them but it's like it's now become " I won't get THIS

MANY cookies tomorrow! " Not sure how to break that, maybe just eat the cookies!

?

Maybe most of this is just the holiday season? It's funny, isn't it - I always wanted to be stuffed and now when I feel too full I don't like it at all. But that hasn't stopped me from being too full these past few weeks.

Seems like both of you did well this year, MJ and Jami.I did ok. The infamous holiday party sort of messed me up but Xmas day went ok. I also felt I was around a 7 or 8 in terms of being full - normally I'm at a 10 and stuffed so that was better than normal for me. However, the XMAS cookies is something I cannot seem to get past. I love them so I allow myself to eat them when I'm hungry but I feel guilty...I feel the calories..I know this is not IE thinking and I'm new here but it's bugging me. But yet I want to enjoy them so I am trying to be careful and eat them when I really want them and not to overstuff myself..Thanks for listening :)Jen>

After 3 weeks of spending time with my daughter, her husband, grandson and new baby, then coming home, baking for my husband's work, friends, etc., shopping, stressing over Christmas and THEN spending Christmas alone with my husband because my girls were at their in-laws this year, I think my emotional eating kicked in somewhat. whew! that was a long sentence! I picked a lot, ate too much sugar, etc... I did keep up with my exercise, which saves my emotions somewhat, but I am now trying to get back on the right track. It's not like I went too far off, but I was actually happy with the way I was eating - and enjoying it. Anyone else having any "after Christmas" issues? > > > > Jami> >
