The WEIGHT Battle ...

Oh what can I say, this weight thing is starting to eat at me (pardon the pun)!  You know, I was so good at Christmas, only gaining a couple of pounds, but for some reason the last two weeks I've added about five more pounds ... and there's absolutely no excuse, other than I'm an emotional eater.
    Anyone else out there an emotional eater, and right now don't know why I'd be eating emotionally ... I mean really, our life is pretty good right now, even though we owe stupid taxes once again this year.  Just how do they continue to get blood from a turnip, we have paid more than our fair share over the last almost 41 years of marriage.  Anyway, then there was the car thing, and then we're anxiouisly anticipating the arrival of Baby W, and Dylan's adoption becoming finalized, and then, of course, there's my Mother living with us for the last 8 years!
    Maybe all of the above has caused me to emotional eat, or stress eat, whichever you prefer to call the syndrome!  So today I've turned over a new leaf, I continue to workout at Curves 3 times a week and I'm once again pushing myself instead of talking quite so much.  And then tonite, went for a walk after dinner.  We eat fairly healthy, except for Easter Sunday when my Mother requested ham, scalloped potatoes, carrot cake, fruit salad, and those fabulous Hawaiian rolls ... everything in moderation!  OH, and I'm a Life Member of Weight Watchers, of course now over my goal weight and I won't tell you by how many pounds!  And maybe I have a "negative goal" as I don't want to gain all the weight my Mother has over the past 40 years, she's now 94 years old.
    Well, maybe this blogging thing is therapeutic, I'm going to take a more positive attitude about the weight issue ... we'll see how that goes.  Here's to even more healthy eating, and, until next time ....
