[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674108, member: 19522"] Good for you Copa, you have come very very far. I believe that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Little steps at first. It will happen. Bereft. I feel the same. Bereft. A Soliloquy on Bereft-ness, or lack there of. I am upset at myself, because I have stumbled at something I want to accomplish.... again. I am one of those yo-yo weight people. Maintaining my weight when I am busy training for my paddling, but in the off season. UGH. So, I feel at a loss, when I am actually gaining ...weight ....too quickly. Bereft. Deprived or lacking of something. It is an oxymoron, that my[I] over abundance[/I], leaves me feeling deprived and empty. I did not accomplish my eating goals. Or shall I say, my [I]do not eat too much [/I]eating goals. This time of year is difficult. I really, really like food. I like sweets, too, especially dark chocolate. My clothes are shrinking and I don't even have a dryer. Actually, I am bear-eft. My winter bear fluffiness is starting to cramp my style. I shall have to ignore all of the office goodies and have some willpower there. It is hard, yummy stuff will besiege us until after the holidays. I am like Winnie the Pooh thinking too much about honey, except he is cute, I do not feel cute. [MEDIA=youtube]-SwWL5xCzhM[/MEDIA] So restraint it is. Ugh. I like yummy stuff, but my body does not wear it well. I don't know if it is wise to be too hard on myself during the holidays. I think I will start with getting my walking routine back. Then I will carry my own kind of yummy stuff to work and stop going to the place where they put all the goodies. It is in a corner in the outer office, goodies, calling my name, especially at 1:30 when the afternoon tiredness, settles over me like clouds hovering over the mountain top. Then, I am in danger of getting whiplash from all of the head bobbing. For some reason I have it in my mind if I snacked on something, I would wake up. It doesn't work. Bereft-deprived. I know I am an emotional snacker, not giving much thought during stressful times, to my eating. I think this has much to do with trying to [I]fill up[/I] what deprived [I]feels like[/I]. No wonder I cannot be satisfied, I am trying to fill up the wrong puka, with the wrong substance. Bereft. I shall have to fix this, too Copa, or I will be very upset with myself. I have enough on my plate (if you will pardon the pun) to make myself more upset by my own hand. So, we both have stuff to work on. I like this article, it gives some good advice that is not demanding and difficult sounding. Like taking it slow, thinking about breaking the habit, then working towards that goal.
