Yesterday was a HUGE challenge. Car troubles. Ex-boyfriend/friend issues (friend is ex's sister). Doctors appointment troubles. Just a list of very BAD. At 7PM, I realized I had not drank or ate ANYTHING the entire day nor had I used the bathroom. Nothing in, Nothing out, I guess. Today, was a much better day. Maybe a little of overcorrection from yesterday but I will ABSOLUTELY take it. How does everyone deal with stress as cortisol is a real problem for me???

I'm sorry you had such a bad day, Paula. I hope things turn around soon! There is some great advice here already - this is why I love the DietBet community! As Vee and Lisa mentioned, practicing mindfulness and having healthy snacks/water on hand are such helpful tips. I have found that daily meditation really helps me handle stress better. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, you can even just start with a few minutes each day :)

Meditation makes a big difference for me. I used to do it 30 minutes per day every morning, and it helped me cope with real situations, and it reduced the constant worry in my head. During this Diet Bet I have started doing 30 minutes a day again.

Always trying to make better choices. I wanted a cupcake but had a banana. Very creamy and delicious. Good swap❤

I’m trying to do that. I frequently crave chocolate desserts, but I bought a mango this week because I know it will be just as sweet, but healthier.

Good job, Lisa!

I ended up with a stomach bug over the weekend (thank you daycare) so I’m almost at my goal weight. I know after being sick and dehydrated weight always goes back up, so I’m hoping it doesn’t increase too crazy over the few days as I can finally keep food and fluids down! I bought some electrolytes, vitamin b, c and d to try to keep any more illnesses at bay.

    The weekend is almost here! For some of us, weekends are easier, for others they're more of a challenge.

    If you struggle to stay on track over the weekend, then it's time to plan ahead. It's all about being prepared and making wise choices. Don't feel deprived, feel empowered!

    Tips for a Healthy Weekend:
    -Plan ahead - So important to be prepared for whatever comes your way!
    -Drink your water - Hydration can ease hunger and help you feel satiated
    -Keep moving - It feels great and burns calories!
    -Moderation - Don't over do the food and drinks
    -Relax - Stress can lead to overeating. Take some time for yourself!
    -Sleep - We need our sleep and it aids our weight loss efforts!
    -Have fun!

    It's also a great time to do some meal planning and prep for the week. Head to the grocery store and stock up on healthy options to have on hand.

    Have fun and make choices that will make you happy when you step on the scale on Monday! You've got this!
