Not the end of the world. Since I work at the church hubby would just give me a ride to work in the morning and have another key made. No big deal, really. Hubby wasn't even upset, at this point he was pretty amused.
So here it is:
I am an emotional eater...I come from a big Italian family and a long line of "feeders". I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad, and I REALLY eat when I'm mad! This is most likely the reason that I have maintained the exact same weight for almost a year even though my activity level has increased about 100%. I guess you could say I run so I can eat! Maintaining is good, but not when I still have about 15lbs to go.
So I'm trying to come up with a way to curb this emotional eating. What kind of goal do I set? Write down everything I eat? Been there done that. Take away temptations? With 3 small children in the house that is nearly impossible. So I'm open to ideas....
Oh and I found my keys...they were in between the seats where I was sitting in church. Thank you angels!

Thanks for stopping by my blog....I see we have similar issues. I am trying to set goals too and maybe do some of that deep breathing exercise that people keep saying works (chocolate is still better).
I am glad you found your keys. I look forward to reading more.
Chew gum instead??
Knit???
Hot baths???
Have some cut up fresh fruit in the fridge for these times and snack on it instead. If it's accessible and easy, I usually will go to it.
LOL! Glad you found your keys and I L-O-V-E chow! Mmmm I should make some tonight!
Glad you enjoyed my little love sotry!!!
Glad you found your keys...now if I could only find mine. I eat out of boredom and once I hit the sweets there's no "off" switch. I wish I had an easy answer... I'd probably be a zillionaire.
Do what you feel works for you - if something like "No bread" didn't work before, tweek it a little and say "no bread on Tuesdays" and see if that helps. I understand I come from a big italian family, I understand emotional eating to a T - we eat for every emotion - now working on actually feeling the emotion!! Getting there, and you will too, Keep on keeping on!
