you got this I totally understand this I have alot of trauma I'm trying to deal with and the only way I know how to cope is food  

No explanation needed. If I had BIL/SIL here, it be stress overload also. You’ll be ok. They’ve left now?? 😅 

Why do some family members always bring issues? I’m so sorry. xo 

I’m 100% with you. I’ve been losing and gaining the same 5 2 pounds all summer. Today I’m at it with no more cheats until I get back down to my goal. 

lol...I always feel that way when I post that I'm getting back on track. like whatever... you said that last week. 😆 Post away. That's what I say! 

Dp right lol!! Boy who cried wolf, girl who cried stress eat, tomato tomato 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Wifey- yes they left yesterday, phew! Although they said they might come back for a day next weekend 😅 they’re moving out of state in a few weeks so they’re basically making the rounds saying bye to family for a while.. Groatmeal- we got it!! Panda- thanks! Yes I felt like yesterday I had to recover by comforting myself by eating whatever and however much my little heart desired😝 I need new coping mechanisms!! 

It’s all good. This is your journey - haters can scroll!! 

Are- that’s how I feel too! Keep it movin😏 

I find any time I have company...even people I like 😊 it's harder to stay on track. Toss in someone that stresses you & all H--L can break loose. Just start over & keep going. This is life & there are always going to be little hitches.  

Thanks sherrye🥰 I’m trying! I’m truckin on today, so far so good!👍🏼 

You don’t have to “reset”, you just resume your normal way of eating and give a little boost to your activity level if you can. No restarts needed, you are just experiencing some fluctuations. It happens to everyone. No guilt, no recriminations, just forge ahead. 

Thanks Kenna 🥰 great way to look at it!! It’s a new day! 

you got this! 

Hope you'll be back in the right direction in no time.💪 

Purple, I'm right there with you!! We can all do this together!👍👍 

I totally understand. I've said a million times: Starting Over, or Starting Again. When I "fall off the wagon" I don't know how to get back on. Sometimes it was a year before I made a new start thst "stuck". 

I am a stress eater. Head straight to the fridge. Now that I am accountable, it helps. 

My viewpoint... Not starting over, Continuing on to Healthy. Life is not a straight line, thankfully it has a scenic route. Sometimes there's more up hill than downhill. Just remember the views along the way are spectacular some days. Other days it's tough to see out of the forest for the trees blocking the path. BELIEVE and PROCEED!  

Welcome back to the plan.
