The response of encouragement was overwhelming on the “Three strikes I’m out” post. Just wanted to post an extra special thanks to you guys. I appreciate it so much and your kinds words bolstered and strengthened me enough to move on. I am moving on now. Sorry for the whining.
Last night was another good night for WW. I hit my points right on the head. My goal with my eating is to now eat less at work so that I have more points to eat once I get home. This has been very helpful because I tend to want to eat and snack more once I get home. I can handle work better on less food, but once I get home it is more difficult since all of my food is there waiting to be eaten. I have used this strategy for 2 days now and it seems to be a good one. I was leaving 6 points for dinner and snacks, now I am leaving around 11. I won’t be running now until Sunday when I officially start my new schedule. It will be a fresh start and I am a little sore from the 1 mile time trial that I did the other day.
Thanks for all of your support and I am sorry to put you through my whinning session. Have a great day everyone.
My angle on weight loss 
No, Thank you for all that you do for us. We are here for each other and whine away. As you know I do that real well. Thanks for your support as well. Today was a “New Day” and a better day for me.
I have to agree it seems like I do eat less at work and once I get home I am usually wanting to eat more for some reason. I guess it could be because I am more relaxed there.
Yeah, I am more relaxed at home (yet my work is like a home away from home with all these hours) but when I get there I have the stress from work. I release that stress when I get home. That sometimes means I make bad choices on the food/eating front. Other times it means I make a good choice and excercise or talk about it to my wife. Thanks for your support man.
No problem brother. I am lucky that with my job I really don’t bring the stress home, mainly because it’s not really that stressful or I just don’t let it get to me. For me I usually eat less when I am stressed mainly because it zaps the energy out of me and I just have no desire to eat. On the other hand when I am home and relaxed I usually get bored as well and that’s when danger sets in for me. It’s how we deal with both types of situations that matters. I am blessed that I have you and others here as a great support system that I can turn to if I need to talk or if I am in the process of sabotaging my progress. Plus knowing that others go through what I do is more helpful than ever. It’s then that I feel I am not alone in this battle and that really means so much to me.
Thanks Rob. You are lucky to have a job like that. Boredom can get me too.
I always had more trouble eating too much at work. It’s funny how everyone is different. Sounds like a good strategy to me.
It is interesting how we are all different isn’t it. Amazing I would say. BUt at the same to we are all so alike. HAHA 🙂
This week I started doing the same thing with using less points when at work to have more for dinner and snacks at home. It’s nice because I feel more normal being able to eat more with my family. Only having 6 points for dinner is too minimal for me to enjoy.
THanks Candice. It does make it seem more normal doesn’t it. Maybe more livable and sustainable too.
