Hey Everyone!
I was doing really well up to a point in dealing with my stress: trying to fit in exercise and healthy eating around work. But then it all got on top of me, I didn’t have the chance to (or rather make time to) eat at regular intervals. So I got really hungry and ate rather a lot more than I have done for a while, and all the wrong things . . . much cake, chocolate and biscuits were involved. I still exercised, and it was for only 4 days, but the difference is very noticable – to me anyway.
So now I am trying to get back into eating smaller portions and more healthy food. I feel like an addict that’s been clean for a long time and fell off the wagon, and is trying to wean off the drugs for the second time. I think after this stressful time is over, it will be easier. I really do comfort eat to ease stress. I don’t eat just for the sake of it anymroe though, I have been genuinely feeling starving, but for sweet things, and instead of using my coping strategies, have just been giving in, since I just don’t have any fight left in me from dealing with other problems.
The stress is starting to disappate though – light is at the end of the tunnel, and I have gotten through the worst I think, with little damage.
On a brighter note I ran 4.8kms in the running club in 25 minutes. I haven’t really been out for a while, but my speed has improved dramatically. Today I will try and run 6 miles on the treadmill, as this week is my 6 mile running week. Next week I need to up it to 7 miles, then back down to 5 miles for my rest week.
Till next time

Before I started my journey I weighed 108kgs and was a UK size 22. Over the past year and a bit, with the help of ShapeUp Club I've morphed into the person you see in the photo above, who is 68kgs and a UK size 12. In my blog I've documented my journey, all the changes I've made, all the challenges I've faced, and how I've overcome them.

You poor thing! Stress is a terrrible thing, it sabotages all our best efforts to do anything! You are doing well to still be exercising as that’s a well known stress buster! Just keep doing what you’re doing, it’s terribly hard when you fall “off the wagon” but the damage is never irreparable, as you said it was only 4 days and you’ve managed to get back on track-ish, which is no mean feat I can tell you, having fallen off the wagon more times than I care to remember! I am a serial re-offender, yo-yo-ing my way merrily (or not) up and down the diet scales, but each time I do, I manage to keep off some of the previous weight before launching myself on to the next diet plan!I have found a method that is terrible good at dealing with emotional eaters, as it deals with your mindset, where all the problems begin! (NOT Hypnosis) If you would like some more details about this method, just drop me an email and I’ll get right back to you. Good luck and never say never!
