Since Holly decided to be honest I thought I would let everyone know that I'm having a real struggle with food right now. Suddenly, I want to snack all day long -- and most of the time it's not because I'm hungry. I'm feeling some stress and pressure now because of different things going on in my life; that's the only reason I can think of, I feel totally out of control right now.

I mean today I had a normal breakfast; but then I ate crackers with tuna salad at mid-morning; followed by 3 finger sandwiches, potato chips, and pickles at my niece's baby shower; then came home and ate leftover crawfish casserole over half a biscuit; then a couple hours later I ate a hot dog; then in another hour I ate more crackers and tuna salad. I mean, I guess they're small amounts each time but that's still too many calories -- and I know it; I avoided the cake at the shower, but I should have avoided the chips, biscuit, crackers, etc. and I felt stuffed to being sick after the crawfish.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are habits I need to overcome -- and I thought I had overcome. The old Brooke is still alive and kicking, I guess. I'm scaring myself, too. I don't want to gain this weight back -- heck, I'm not even finished losing yet.

Any suggestions or advice would be helpful right now. Has anyone else gone through these periods; and how did you get yourself back on track?
