It's been a few days since I posted, its been a rough week. I have lost 1 lb. this week, and that puts me at 76 lbs lost, but most importantly.........it put me below 250!!!! Yes, I weigh 249!!! This past week has been an emotional one, therefore one which I've had to deal with that "head" thing that makes me want to eat because of stress. One evening I was home and I was so emotional that all I wanted to do was find something to eat. I kept trying to remind myself that food would not solve the issues at hand. To be honest with you it was such an emotional week that I honestly don't remember if I ate during that time or not. I do know that if I did, it was at least a good choice. I think I have made it to that place where I don't want to sabotage what I've already done. It is becoming easier to make good choices when I have the urge to "just eat".
I decided to look for a part-time job to help give me money to buy new clothes with, so I had filled out an application at Catherine's, the shop for "big women". This week they had me in on Monday for an interview and on Thursday they did a phone interview. I think I screwed it up Thursday when the district manager interviewed me and asked me what I would do if I was at the end of month and my quota for credit applications hadn't been met. I told her that "I might try harder to remember to ask the customer, however I have to be honest that I would respect the customer when they told me no and not push because I don't personally believe credit cards are a good thing". After the interview she told me they were looking to hire in the fall season, which is not the impression I had gotten previously, so I think she didn't like my answer. That's okay though because when I came home and told my family about it, Michael told me he was proud of me for being honest and standing up for what I believed. Having him say that to me was so much more fulfilling than "earning points" for a credit application.
I'm praying for a better week this next week! Have a good one everyone!
