I need my routine!

I clearly need my usual routine. Last week it was mostly cancelled due to teacher workdays and a snow day. What did I do with my unstructured time? I ate (and ate and ate and ate). I started the week at 220. My post-Super Bowl party weigh-in was 229. Good grief! It's truly amazing how much food I can eat, yet not feel full. I pray that this week is back to normal. I miss my Bible studies that we don't have when there is no school. I miss the fellowship and the learning, and I tend to eat when I'm bored. I need to come up with something to replace eating when I'm bored or stressed or whatever it is that's not real physical hunger. I love to read. I used to like to draw, and I am working on a crocheted baby blanket for a friend. I need to make a habit of going for those things and not the food. It may sound pretty hopeless, but I'm going to get there! I could clean my house. No, no, anything but that!

Mary, you're not hopeless. You haven't given up, and that's the key to success.

Would you do me a favor and email me when you post? I don't check this often enough but would like to know that you've posted.

God bless,
Jill
