I have had a very stressful time recently, first resigning from work two weeks ago due to bullying and harassment and today splitting up from my partner of 18 months. However it is the end of the day and I have stayed on my healthy eating plan. If this was last year I would have reached for the chocolate to make myself feel better. 36 pounds off and feeling pleased with myself.

Good for you, you're doing this for yourself. π
Hi Dipper
Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with things lately.
You are doing brilliant to stay on your healthy eating plan while having such a stressful time, well done you for losing 36 pounds and not turnng to the chocolate.
Hope you have a good week. Take care of yourself.
Thanks YellowRose, I feel good about not turning to chocolate. It's been so long I don't actually know if I would even like the taste of it now. Also I just don't over eat these days it seems alien to want to do that - so long may this continue!!!
Thanks Linds I joked to a friend today about being unemployed and dumped. Things can only get better x
Good work Dipper. Totally agree with Trimmerteacher - sounds like you're doing this for yourself and won't let anyone sabotage your efforts (even yourself!)
Sorry you've been having problems at work and in your relationship..
Sounds like a fresh start in both directions and a great new you for having better learnt habits and not resorting to old bad habits!!
Moving forward with your choices.. Cheering you on πππ
Thanks Minniewinny I am surprised to still feel in control, long may it continue
You have the power and can make choices for yourself.. Keep making wise choices and your confidence will grow and shine.. So when you go for your next interview.. You will be walking tall - confident of who you are and what you want.
There is no-one more attractive than a person who is confident of themselves and comfortable in their own skin and with their choices.. Not only in personal relationships but in the job market too.
yes Conner J I still feel in control which is good
Hi Dipper
So sorry to hear you are having a hard time, but really well done on your weight loss and not reaching for the chocolate - feel proud of yourself
Wishing you all the best with the job hunting
Thanks cracker 10 I will get there even if the first job I get offered isn't ideal I would take it until something else comes along.
Sounds good to me - they do say getting a job is easier when you are in a job money coming in is always money coming in
wishing you all the best x x
I'm not surprised you are feeling pleased with yourself about resisting the call of chocolate, I don't think i'd be so good especially if there were crisps in the house.Hope things get better for you soon

Hi Dipper, first so sorry about the job and the break up. But I think you showed real strength and power in not putting up with the bullying and harrassment any more. So good on you. Next another strength in not turning to chocolate or any other comfort food which is real determination. As others have said another job will come along and the right one for you. So remember you are strong and have not faltered and although you might trip you have the determination to keep going. Good luck best wishes and good vibes to you. xXx
Thanks Jennilou, I will feel better when I get a new job, it did get to the stage where I knew I had to walk away from the old one and I have absolutely no regrets. I think that months of eating healthy has paid off as I don't really crave any unhealthy foods. Long may it continue. xx
I am glad you are finding the forum helpful Dipper π
it is so good to speak to people that understand.
