I had a great weigh in at class this week. I was really happy I lost more this week than last week. I am learning so much. It is really making class enjoyable.
I am having more trouble with my knee due to my weight and the osteoarthritis. I am going to try a treatment that is new to me. I am going to go for three consecutive weeks and have a gel solution injected into my knee. I am really hoping it works. The doctor said if it doesn’t work, it will not cause any harm. This could be an effective way to relieve the pain until I drop my weight and get a new knee.
This has been a really stressful week. There were some unexpected family issues that caused a great amount of stress and anxiety. I am about to have some life changing events occur, and am worried about what they will do to my weight loss. Due to the fact that stress is one of my food triggers, I have to be very careful not to reverse the progress I have made.

I’m happy to hear you’re doing so well! Congratulations.
I also tend to eat when I’m stressed out, so I try and make myself as busy as possible when it does happen. Cleaning, shopping, playing with my pets, whatever it takes! I wish you luck.
I’m glad to hear things are going well. Stress is also a food trigger for me. I am constantly trying to find alternatives to help fight stress. Working out has really helped me, when I’m feeling stressed I look towards excercise to help relieve it.
Gads!! do I ever know about stressed related eating. It is a constant battle for me since food is used as an escape from my life. The misuse of food is numbing to the brain like other addictions.
When I find myself reaching for a fat-laden, chocolate treat, I do my best to stop myself and think about what triggered me. Journaling has helped me to release my anxieties and unearth the cause of the trigger. It can be painful, but it can be enlightening and it always relieves the anger/emotional pain/stress that I’m feeling at the time. My thoughts are with you.
