Hi all,  Have had a rough couple of days.  My hubby left Monday to go to work in Brussels for the next 3 weeks.  Came home to an empty house after a terribly busy day and decided I deserved (not) a treat.  Ate my way through 3 Hageen Daz bars and no dinner.  Then on Tuesday, he called from the airport in Brussels and he had been pickpocketed and they had gotten a file that contains his passport and multiple credit cards, (double UGH).  So I immediately went into saver mode and checked our bank account and sure enough they were already raiding our account.  Got ahold of the bank and started the process of notification with the cards and talked with the State Department to get him a new passport.  So by the time I got home, I was sad, frustrated and scared.  Sat here feeling simply overwhelmed.  Starting on the web to figure out how to try and prevent them from stealing his identity and have that process going.  I just pray we’ve done all we can.  Now I’m sitting here blogging with all of you and discussing in my head what I’m going to fix for snack and lunch.  I’ve still been on track.  Need to get to 270 by 1/23/08 and should be able to do it if I keep my focus.  I’m going to print out my “before” photos and put those on the refrigerator here and the candy dish at work.  Just to remind myself  that I really don’t “NEED” that stuff, I’m just frustrated, sad, depressed, or is it tired or any and all of the above.  So I’m going to go get a fruit cup, 10 pecans and a nice cup of coffee and then have another bottle of water.  Might even start up an exercise tape since this is my day off and I promised to start them today.  So off I go, I feel better having blogged and been truthful about how much my emotions trigger my eating.  Did have a patient comment yesterday that he could see some changes.  We have a bet for 2 inches off combo of waist and hips over the next 6 weeks — either him or I — then we’ll see if he wants to go double or nothing (we live in NV).  Take care all, Nikki
