I'm sorry you are stressed. I only know some of what is on your plate. Hang in there. I pray everything gets better for you and yours soon. Logging helps me to be consistent with my eating and activity. It's one less thing I have to be concerned about...  

I'd hurry up and get plump if that would mean the causes for stress would be fixed! 😩 Sadly, I don't think I can control the troubles, but I can make them worse by getting chubby! 🙄❤️ 

Eating when we are stressed is not a good thing, I think most of us actually know this but it’s hard, especially when it is unrelenting and often unresolvable. Do the best you can do. Diversion is helpful but I’m sure you have tried that. Do the best you can to take care of yourself. 

Thank you, John. I really do know you are right. It is just one thing piling on another endlessly these days for our family. Celebrating some good news last week was a blessing, but the daily dealing with all the worries has really been dragging me down. I am so thankful for all the support here, and not feeling judged or being imperfect helps! Good or bad, I need to be logging! 😁  

Thank you, Kenna. ❤️That was such a kind word. I really am trying. I have one kid not in crisis! Yay! Hahha. 😊 

OK, dear, tell me the exact difference so I know at what decimal point on the scale to panic! 😁  

I need to say that about 100 times a day. because I'm stressed doesnt mean I need to eat. thanks and stay safe 

So sorry you have such high stress. You have a good plan. Take care.  

Signing on to this. I logged as well today 

I’m so sorry about your stress. But you are eons away from chubby! We’re all going through stressful times it seems. Sending big hugs and lots of strength and mama bear power to get through it. 💖 I am sure the upcoming holidays will make it even harder for us all. But at least we’re all stressing together. 😅 

Amen to that 

😘 Hang in there!  

I feel ya Melissa! You have more to be stressed about, than I do. I'm eating cause I'm feeling sad....and some when I'm stressed. At least you realize what you're doing. Saying a prayer for your stress to be relieved so that the temptation to eat too much is less ❤  

Praying for some relief from your stress. It's hard not to eat our "troubles" away. I do the same. Some days I'm tempted not to log my bad foods but then I remember, I log for accountability... You look amazing so I have no doubt you will get back to normal soon..💜 

Yes, Carol! You stay safe too! Liv, "on it" together! NewnameMM, thanks so much! About the time life seems to have a moment of calm, I realize that was just before the next storm... bjones, we aren't alone!!  

Thank you, Princess! You know I'm trying... And you know all that is "trying" to me. ❤️ Sherry, it is just a super crazy time for my family. I know you are going through a ton also, yet you are managing your intake so well. 😇 It is easy to try to soothe the worried heart with something tasty. It doesn't work! Diana, thank you! I wish it was easier, but I know I need to log and record or I will go down a path that will make things much harder! 😊 

Your excellent with different plays on words. So witty! 😉💕  

Oh my!!! I haven't made a lemon merengue pie in ages!!! Sounds like a plan! 🍋  

*You're. Sorry- I just saw that. I was at the gym and I blame my phone for any typos.  

Hang in there, Melissa. You're only human. If you need to chat, you have my email. I'm wishing peace and happiness for you. 💙
