work stress

i weighed in this morning at 142.5...i originally started this blog not intending to make it a weight loss blog, but since i've gotten so off track, i think i need to get back in the habit of paying attention to how much i weigh. i ate well yesterday for the most part, though i did have a latte and a cookie around five. (i was starving, but could have picked a better choice). really, i shouldn't have had the two halloween chocolates later in the day, and frozen yogurt after dinner. for me, i have to allow myself treats when i'm stressed out at work. if i'm starving and its five and i know i have five or ten more hours of work ahead of me, you can bet i'm at starbucks grabbing a latte and a cookie. is that bad? yes. but really that probably won't change too much. and it only happens every once in a while, so i'm not too worried. what is worse is the mindless eating -- the chocolates, the frozen yogurt, the stuff where i'm NOT hungry and don't really need to eat it! so the cookie i had yesterday was 400 calories (i looked online). i know, it's a ton. but then i had two chocolates (130 calories about) and a frozen yogrut (170 calores). there's an additional 300 calories i didn't need!! i need to eat when i am hungry, and not eat sweets when i'm not. ok that is my goal for the rest of this week...allow myself treats if i'm actually hungry, but cut out those extra sweets! oh my goodness, there is so much work to do!! better get back to it!!
