I got weighed

I am starting over this week.  I needed a re-do (thanks Elle) but I am keeping the weight I alreadly lost as part of my 10 lb prize (thanks Cathy)  I am down 4 lbs.  (I gained another pound) but I was expecting it which is why I am starting over.   When I get down 10 lbs, I am buying myself a pair of shoes.  I love shoes.

At the meeting we were talking about how to prevent eating out of boredom/stress/depression  whatever when you are home.   I eat out of boredom which I know.  Which is why I don’t keep crap in the house.   If it’s here I will eat it.

A friend of mine read on the WW website that most people eat in their happy place.  All of us thought immediately of the “in theory” happy place.  They meant that most people have a same seat that they watch tv from, read, eat in.  For me, on the loveseat in front of the tv.  It said not to eat there.  Because that’s where you are comfortable so you don’t pay attention to what you are eating or doing.  Which is true.     I eat all meals in front of the tv.  I live alone…sitting at a table by myself is just sad.   But, if you eat at a table with no distractions, you get full faster and don’t realize it.  And you will supposedly prevent snacking.   We will see about that.  I was challenged to eat at the table.   I am going to try it.  I will put my radio on, otherwise to quite and sad, grab a book (which is a no no bye the way, but I have to do something, reading actually slows down my eating)  I am ok this weekend as my sister and niece will be here it’s the normal days when I get home and just am by myself.
I will see.   tonite is nite one.  I am going to put my laundry in the dryer, vaccuum, make the bed for my sister and pull out the crib for the princess, and eat.

Go me.  Wish me luck

That sounds like a great idea! You’ll be busy with your sister and niece too, hopefully that makes it easier to create a new habit for you. :)

Sounds like you’re on the right track. I appreciate the bit about not eating in your comfort zone. I sit in the same place to watch TV and by golly, I’m always wanting to eat there… habit. Thank you for making me aware of the problem and why it most likely exists.

hey meant that most people have a same seat that they watch tv from, read, eat in. For me, on the loveseat in front of the tv. It said not to eat there.

One of the smartest things I set as a goal when I started this in January — and one that I’ve kept! — was moving all meals away from the TV and back to the table. Now, I don’t even allow myself to eat breakfast or lunch anywhere but at the table, even when I’m home alone. It’s made a huge difference in curbing the “commercial runs to the fridge” for snacks, drinks, etc. And I’m quite used to it by now — if I’m going to eat, it has to be at the table. :D

I’m so proud of you for weighing in and a one-pound gain is nothing! You’re back on track and I’m betting you do fantastic! :bananadance:
