I am working from  home too - it is nice to just have a break without having to think about work.

Yes definitely.  I've booked it off.

Great news on the ebay selling! How much have you made?

I'm a serial chucker-outer so I can't think of a single thing we could sell. Bloody Marie Kondo making me get rid of everything!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend.

I've had to replace the battery on my car which is a shame, but glad it happened now while I've got the cash.  DH says it's the original battery so it's been on the car 12 years, can't complain about that!

I did a nice £6 survey on PA the other day so have managed to cash out £10 odd on there, and £5 amazon on another survey site.

I got on the scales the other day and am now heavier than I've ever been   I need to sort myself out, but cannot find the motivation.  I've got to do something though.  My meals are fine, I like healthy food, but it's the emotional eating.  I need to tackle that and don't know how to do it.  I can't remove stress from my life or my job, so I need to do something about the  way I react to it.

So with you on the emotional eating.
I just cannot get a grip at all sadly.

I'm sure a lot of people have slipped into bad eating habits during lockdown. It's a very stressful time for everyone. I wouldn't beat yourself up because when life is more normal we'll find it easier to eat well. Just take one day at a time and cope the best you can.

I'm with you on the emotional eating. I joined Slimming World a month ago to try and stop myself from getting any bigger.

Sorry you are struggling too, it's so difficult isn't it

Thank you.  I just worry that I already can't afford to put any more weight on

Good luck with it   I like SW, but just sabotage myself constantly, I need to try and sort it.

Hope you find the motivation to tackle your weight. I slipped off the band wagon with cake for DD's birthday last week and haven't got back on as it's my birthday later this week. Will get back on it after that.

Thank you   I've made an effort to snack less this week.  It probably isn't enough to lose weight, but hopefully enough to stop gaining.  Then I can try and change something else and eventually start moving the other way!

Have a lovely birthday this week
