So my personal goal as of late has been trying to find a balance. A balance in all aspects of my life. I am finding it hard to not eat due to emoitions as I use carbohydrates like a drug. I have found it is possible when I keep certain foods out of my house, but somethings just show up! I have to keep my resolve however many times I might slip and learn from each slip.
Lesson one: cookies are too yummy to eat just one, as is chocolate. My lesson from that is that those are "sometimes" foods. Food that I will eat, but not all the time and not in an uncontrolable manor. For now that means I need to keep my surroundings bursting with "real" food. One thing I have been doing is buying food that will spoil like salad ingreedients and since I don't want them to go to waste I prepare them. Today I made myself eat my carrots at work before any of my other food because I have had them for several days. Now that I am hungry and I am going to have a 2 cup serving of the soup I made this morning. It has about 10 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber so it is very filling and I hope this newly revised version tastes good!
Ok time to eat before it gets too crazy here at work.

I would love to work with nutrition again its one of the few things I am confident about my skills. My last job I loved, I was able to take on a lot of different projects and it was really fun. Unfortunatly the office was closed due to horrible financial planning and the recession. I was out of work for a while and I applied for the job I have nowthinking the hours would be good to look after my husband more. I had always been interested in mental health and working night sift ment I would be home during the day just incase. I
