All I know is that hopefully yourself, me & SA get the trifecta! Screw Luke!

Iām lurking here mostly and pulling for you. Youāre a great contributor around here and I hope the support and friendship helps boost your spirits and fills you with positivity that will help you meet your goals. You certainly help me with mine. Thanks.
(any positive tears for that?)
Seriously am pulling for you obviously - just jealous of Rivaldo getting tears of joy

No tears but a nice warm feeling. ty
Hi Rexx,
Iāve been there, believe me. When I want to comfort eat, itās only āin the momentā. If I can get through the moment without caving, the desire lessens to something I can handle.
What Iāve done in the past when I want to eat for comfort; I take a shower. You canāt eat food in the shower, and the shower feels pretty good. Also, the shower is the perfect place to shed a tear or 2.
After the shower, if I still want to comfort eat I will, but 8 times out of 10 the desire has past.
Just one personās coping mechanism. Another is to be around people when it hits, as I tend to do my best comfort eating alone, but thatās not always possible if youāre home. Getting out would work though.
I hope this helps with the comfort eating, even a bit.

Thanks Josie. The shower is a good idea. That used to be my main place for crying after my mum diedā¦ Youāre right about it being an in the moment thing. Appreciate your input.

Bad day. Only positive was that logging kept me under 2k. Having that as an absolute maximum means bad days arenāt catastrophic.

How are you doing? Iām a little concerned that you havenāt posted in your log in a while and hope youāre doing ok.

I havenāt been logging or really doing anything apart from making sure my main meal is moderately healthy. I need to weigh myself and get back on track. Iāll log today and weigh myself tomorrow. Iāve been intending to restart so thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

Iāve had some success with weight loss using various approaches (mentally).
Sometimes I do better when I really focus, other times I do worse when Iām focusing and I try to simplify it.
Whatās worked for me lately is not dwelling on it, not having it in the forefront of my mind, and instead keeping it to two meals a day (where I donāt overeat) and donāt snack ftmp otherwise. Itās all a matter of mind over matter. If you want to drop, donāt allow yourself to cheat. Otherwise, enjoy your life until youāre ready - but either way be honest with yourself.
Iāll check in again soon. I hope you find some peace otherwise.

Iām probably not in the best mindset for losing weight but I do need to do something so at the least I am not gaining weight. At least with calorie counting, having my rule of not going over 2k stops me gaining and any days I meet target are a bonus really. I mean in some ways who is ever in the right mindset to lose weight and how long does the motivation stay anyway?
I have thought about doing the 2 meals a day thing but I highly doubt I could stop snacking. Thanks for popping in Dodger.
