Emotions Log:

Despite having a very stressful day I am happy that I didn't succumb to the sugar cravings I have when I am stressed. I kept trying to breath and sip on water and chew sugar-free gum. I also did some Yoga stretches and breathing exercises. I also did some self talk where I told myself that the sugar would not give me what I REALLY wanted! I then looked at things I really want as my "reward" that I will give to myself for fulfilling my goal. I first focusing on getting down to 183.5 where I was when I left Weight Watchers in August and then I am going to buy myself a really hot pair of shoes and some jewelry that I have been wanting forever. I will then at that point make the next goal. I usually like to work on 5 lbs increments since that is more duable and not as daunting as looking at the big big picture of the total amount of weight loss I have in mind for myself. I also keep reminding myself that this bulge around my middle is killing me, is unattractive, and is holding me back from looking the way I really want to. Not to mention its really really bad for my health!!
