Comments: I wish people in the office would stop bringing in their leftover Halloween Candy. It’s too tempting to resist. I had 4 pieces of candy today!!! I know I’m the one who decides what goes into my mouth, but I don’t know how I cannot resist! To top it off I had a cookie and cupcake after dinner too. As I shoved the cupcake in my mouth, my daughter said, “Mom, should you be eating that?” As my mouth was stuffed with chocolate icing I’m telling her no.

I’m not making excuses for myself, but my thinking about this way of life is: everyone must have their ups and downs of eating things they shouldn’t. If someone says they don’t then all I have to say is I find it hard to believe. Personally, stress makes me eat…emotional eating is the way I deal with my problems. Even though I know it’s not the way to solve my problems, it makes things feel better for me. Does it solve my problems? No. If anything it gives me more…that is more of a big booty! Plus, my problems are still are going to be there tomorrow. I just myself out of ketosis for another week.

Comments: Headache is still here. Today was another bad day for me. E-9 results were released today and I didn’t make it. I’m not upset about not getting promoted because I stopped studying and knew I wouldn’t make it. Ok, then why have I been crying all day? I have no idea. I went to my dental appointment and tell the dentist that I’ve been grinding my teeth a lot during the past 5 months and I've beengetting a lot of headaches. He says jokingly that I need to stop stressing and worrying. What do I do? I nod my head in agreement and start crying! Then I continue to cry during my cleaning and exam…What the heck. The day only got worse. I’m an emotional wreck today...emotionally and physically exhausted. I need to figure out what's upsetting me so much. It comes and goes and has been like this since I got back from deployment. I hate being on an emotional roller coaster; I hate not being in control of my feelings and emotions. Ok, enough of me complaining and feeling sorry for myself. I'm off to bed.
