So I still don’t have a job yet. and the stress is getting to me, just a little bit. And, as is the norm for me, it shows most in my weight. I have reverted back to some of my old habits – maybe most of them. I have only worked in exercise once or twice this week. I am snacking continually. And I am having more sweets – many more sweets – than I should allow myself. And I’ve been drinking a lot of soda and not drinking much water. All very, very bad habits.

I decided that my life is simply too stressful right now to try to lose weight. Instead, I am going to try and keep my weight steady. I’ll slip into a maintenance mode right now, aiming to keep from gaining. I am going to work on finding some way to deal with stress other than eating. And I am going to try to get some more exercise in this week.

And start with baby steps.
