With all this Covid19 going on is anyone else find they are having to fight off the temptation to want to eat more? I am doing my best to fight it and continue on my journey of loss but it sure calls my name. LOL! Hope you all are doing well?

Wishing everyone a safe and sound passage through these perilous times. We are on lock down here trying to do our small part to lessen the impact probably coming to south Florida next. This is my 10th day homebound - but feeling confident food will not become my comforter as in the past. New habits and strategies are in place after 15+ months. I am at goal, now on maintenance and enjoying a new wardrobe. Back to wearing belts again. Yay! Literally, all dressed up and no place to go though. Oh well. To all our December 2018 sleever's - maintaining our good nutrition, limiting news reports and daily exercise will really help us fight cravings, emotional eating and the need for unhealthy comfort foods. We use to love homemade, creamy rich chocolate pudding with whole milk - Here's our new go to option AND good for you, too!

Omg, yes ! So stressful and my go to food habits have definitely kicked in 😭. And I can’t go to the gym to deal with stress , miss spin so much but not sure I want to but a peloton . Am walking but not the same and work busy so sitting .. it’s all hard !😫 besides the whole thing being scary !😱

Oh yes! I noticed that weekends were tough but now that I'm home all the time....good thing I choose healthy foods for my kitchen. I did notice that being busy really helps. I've been working from home this week...last week, I still went to the office partly because I was afraid of the refrigerator...that was fine because no public contact...but still seems better to be home. Since work meant I was on the phone or video conferencing...that seemed to keep me out of trouble. My plan today is yard work since it's sunny. Tomorrow is supposed to be wet, so chores around the house. I really miss the gym! I was going every day and my yoga classes. I liked the structure of having somewhere to go for a specific thing. I'm trying not to fall into the "I'll do it later" trap and keep up the movement.

And, there's the self-talk. Just because I'm bored or sitting still doesn't mean I'm hungry. Remembering to listen to one's stomach is the biggest challenge.
