It was inevitable! I gained two and a half pounds when I weighed in last night at WW. To be honest, I'm not at all surprised however I just wasn't expecting the weight gain to be this week but actually next week.
The moral of this story is that when you eat 111 points over you're weekly allowance, you are going to gain weight. Needless to say, I've made a pack with myself that I'm going to stick to the plan this week and loose the weight I gained this week plus the weight I should have lost for this week.
It isn't surprising that emotions are connected to eating habits.....this is a subject that has been talked about many a time, I'm sure.....however it very much affects me and this week was a perfect example of that. I was extremely stressed by the impending deadlines of Christmas. However, the mind is a funny thing because instead of concentrating on the job at hand, I went shopping instead for bread and butter! This distraction obviously didn't help my situation but boy it did make me feel better at the time.
Note I said 'at the time'....because that's not how I felt the next day or even today. I feel worse and am left wondering why I'm doing this to myself.
At least, I'm starting to understand myself and have come to the realisation that I don't overeat when I'm happy and life is normal. I only overeat when I'm stressed, tired, bored or lonely and clearly I need to work a little harder on those aspects of my life to minimise them!!
