1/2 a week down

So, it's been 4 days and how am I doing? I think pretty darn well. I haven't used any WPs and still have 2 APs left. I have earned 11 activity points, well on my way to earn the goal of 14 per week. I am also very proud of myself that I didn't fall back into an old pattern when things got really stressful around here yesterday. Jack was really sick (recurrent sinus infection, tonsillitis, refused to take the "yucky" meds), hubby was SUPER CRANKY and tired from stress at work. I constantly had to tell myself that going to the refrigerator and eating high calorie food was going to do nothing for the stress and only make it worse. Something seemed to click with that statement, when I was staring into the fridge looking for something bad to eat, nothing in the refrigerator was going to make the stress at home any better. NOTHING I PUT INTO MY MOUTH IS GOING TO MAKE THE STRESS ANY  BETTER OR MAKE ME FEEL BETTER SO WHY EAT IT?

The most important thing is that I am feeling better. I feel in control, maybe even positive. I can already fit back into a pair of jeans that I couldn't a week ago.

It is taking a lot of mental energy, but, I am hoping that it gets to be second nature in a few weeks.

By the way, if you are reading this, please comment. Your comments truly make me more motivated to stay on track.
