Doing the 2-Step

I'm not sure which is more frustrating - being up this week or knowing that it is my own doing. I am disappointed in myself for not doing better. I have it within me, I have proven that. The fact remains that this past week, and the week before for that matter, I just didn't really try very hard. Life got chaotic and stressful and I decided that it was easier to just slide by than to put in the effort to make it work even though things were harder than usual. This is more irritating and disappointing to me than the added 3 lbs from the past 2 weeks. 

I know that this battle will never be over and I will be facing this for the rest of my life. But I feel like if I am not at least able to start dealing with stress a bit more effectively than I demonstrated this past couple of weeks then my success will only go so far. I am tired of feeling like I take 3 steps forward only to take 2 steps back.

So this is what I need to spend some time on... why do I react to stressors with food every time? I think it's going to take some thought and time. Thank you to everyone out there who is so supportive of me. I will see a total of 50 lbs lost by the end of this month. I am determined. Best wishes and loser vibes to you all!
