I have had a pretty crappy week as you can tell from my last few previous blogs! I have turned this into something positive! I have controlled my stress eating all week and have even banked away a few extra calories for Friday night when hubby and I are going out to eat with friends. I have always felt that I was entitled to eat every last calorie for the day! This week I have not done that, I have saved calories for Friday! Eating out is difficult for me, when I have so many food choices! I always plan on sticking to plan and I try not to eat everything on my plate, but I was raised with clean your plate! I now try to take home half of what is on my plate.

Last night I got a little grumpy with hubby! I think he is going to be more understanding now (I hope so)! He is a Little Debbie snack fanatic! After the nice dinner I made he is cramming down those snacks and all of a sudden I pictured myself cramming them down his throat (I know thats not nice and I wouldn’t realy do it)! I just bit my tongue, but about an hour later he says, gee I’m hungry I guess I will go have a snack! I  told him, I am going in the bedroom and watch TV! I told him, it is enough that I have to see those snacks in the cupboard all the time and pack them in his  lunch every day let alone having him anounce when he is having a snack, Just Do It, you don’t have to tell me every time you get a snack! He was on his speal about he should be able to eat what he wants when he wants….blah blah blah! I told him go ahead, but quit telling me your doing it! No, I don’t think he is intentionally trying to sabatoge me, but I think he just doesn’t understand how tough this is for me! Most of the time it doesn’t bother me this much, but this has been a stressful week for me, and even after over a year on this journey I still want to revert back to my old habits at times!

On a good note, I put on a sweatshirt this morning that I have not worn in like forever! It is and X-L and I have room it is not even tight! This is wonderful to me after wearing 2 and 3 X for so long!

Hope my buddies are all having a great week!
