Once again, today was another good day. I am hopeful for the upcoming weigh in on Monday. I am able to avoid temptations on a daily basis now, it just doesn't seem worth it anymore. I have tried to lose weight numerous times, but have never stopped to think about what got me here in the first place. I am discover things I had never realized.
My daughter, Aaliyah, has been asking for food when she gets hurt to make it feel better. This is something that has been going on for quite a while and it wasn't until I started on Weight Watchers that I realized I am creating in her what I am trying to stop in me. It was shocking to figure this out. So I have started letting her that food will never make the hurting stop. I am glad I can address this now when she is 4 and not 16.
Tomorrow is going to be frigid here so I will be stuck in the house all weekend, I better start a project or two to make it worth while.
It's been four weeks?

A lady in my WW meeting mentioned the same thing, giving food for comfort. She also mentioned never give food as a reward. I do this often with my kids, for cleaning their room, helping me with a task. Before I would give them candy and go out for ice cream, now we go buy a dollar store toy or they get a reward sticker.
