I agree with @AnonymousD, get out, have fun, change up the routine! In my experience, if I am sitting home alone, I am bored, I get lost in my head, and make bad choices. Maybe if yd youāre not ready for dinner you can go for a walk or grab coffee. Keep it light! And also, reach out!! I will literally be home all day today. Got two sick kiddos. Yay.

@AnonymousD @Journey1 any one else joining the squat challenge? Got mine done today!
Woke up and have had a terrible morning so far. I donāt want to be āthat girlā but I was so excited to get in the scale and see the results from my efforts so far. And the scale movedā¦ in the wrong direction. 
had a pity session. Pulled myself back up and now trying not to think about it.

The scale always moves up for me when I start to work out. I find that it only lasts about 2 weeks or so - maybe because of the shock, or because you are starting to build muscle? Dont let it get you down - itās about healthier habits and getting moving. Maybe wait a bit longer before you jump back on againā¦ I am scrambling to get ready for work as we speak so will be doing squats when I get home! Will post when they are done. Have s good day everyone!

Hope your kids get better soon 
I have done my squats to.
Dont worry about the scale dear. Remember muscles weighs more than fat and maybe thats what happend. Normally thats whats happens in the beginning for me. So keep up the good work. What you can do instead of the scale which isnt showing if its fat or muscles is to take measuring tape and then measure different places on your body and then in a week do it again i promise you this shows the transformation way better than the scale.

Dont let it win, the relapse, the fear, or the desire to hole up and secluded yourself. If you really arent ready for that date yet, go out on your own tonight - to a coffee shop, a book storeā¦ Go do something for you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The fear wasnĀ“t lasting very longā¦I was like on Zombie-mode.
You know I thought, what if heĀ“s interested and makes a pass. IĀ“ve become so secluded when it comes to men, I feel like a young girl again. But you are right, I can set bounderies, set the tone and if I need time, I need time.
We postponed it to the weekend, but I donĀ“t know when and what we are going to do. IĀ“m still at work now.
May I please turn to you, when anxiety hits me?!?!?!
@Three
Excellent job!

I seriously hope there will be many more 
@Marisim turn to us whenever you need to!! Definitely set boundaries. You come up with the plan this weekend! Do what you wanna do! Super proud of you for working through this!!
Ofcourse you can. Just write. I am not always the fastest one to reply. But i will for sure answer as soon as i see it. Sounds good with the new plan and yes you can set the boundaries 
Thanks for checking in! Last night after work was tough. I struggled not stopping for a bottle of wine. I think partly out of habit and partly because of craving. I held strong though. Came straight home and turned on Outlander (my new binge) instead. Not looking forward to the weekend. Yikes.
Have a great day!!

@Maria oh my dear, that sounds terrible! And Iām not quite sure if this was a real friend.
I wish you real friends, honest people who love you even if you are not healthyā¤ļø.
Dear girls,
Thanks for your support. I went for a two hour walk and heading home. Today is really really hard.

walking is good!!! one foot in front of the other. nothing more to achieve tonight!
Iām home, I made itā¦ Day 6ā¦check.
But it seems to me that that whole dating relationship stuff is a huge trigger for the desire of numbing me out.
I hope tomorrowās gonna be easier.
And datewiseā¦ Weāre having dinner on Saturday
Now Iām having dinner, havenāt eaten in 11 hours

@Maria Godness!! Yeah you gotta figure something out. I know as much as you might hate giving up your dog, you have to take care of you! Iām sorry you lost your friend. At least youāve got at least a few new ones here. Here for you when you need it. Proud of you for making it this far on the journey!
@Marisim I know the new relationship can be scary. Letās try to live life this time without numbing it out.
Iām struggling. Two kids are sick, super whiny, and Iāve been up since 3. We tried to take a nap but my 2yr old peed the bed and got us wet. Yuck. So, tonight will be hard. Hubby will be at work, and I will be stuck here.
