This is an expression I have heard a lot from people throughout the last few days and I do believe in it. But I sometimes wonder "can I really handle more?" when I feel like more and more is piling on.
While I haven't been journaling what I've eaten for the last two days, I have been much more conscious of what I am putting in my mouth. And do you know what I have learned from the last few days? I've become very aware of my emotional eating and I am starting to learn what "triggers" it as well. I'm not sure if writing here and thinking about topics to write about each day is helping that or what it is but I can tell you it is much more beneficial in the long run! Last night, I wanted a caramel sundae more than anything and opted for sugar-free white chocolate pudding and was quite satisfied!
I had a delicious tuna salad stuffed tomato yesterday for lunch and it was absolutely delicious! I had some whole wheat crackers on the side for a little crunch.

Not only am I learning what my triggers are for my emotional eating, I have also learned that I am only as strong as those around me. For this, I am very thankful for those who are close to me in my world. I have also learned that my marriage has become stronger than ever because we are such a great team and we truly are best friends!
Do you have a person you can go to for anything and everything in your life, whether good, bad or ugly?
Be tall, be strong and most of all (as my Mother would always say): Put your Big Girl Panties on and deal with it!!
Hugs to all,
Heather
I love that quote. "Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!" It makes so much sense to me and has lots of truth to it. As you are thankful for the people in your life that you keep close, I am thankful to be so close to you! I love you bucnches and bunches!
