I need to keep working on portions. This was especially difficult while dealing with my mother, the loss of my dad, and trying to help her organize.

Each night, back in my motel, I would just snack without tracking.

Now that I'm back home I have to work on getting back to tracking, portion sizes, and destressing.

Here's to a recenter back on my food plan again.

Your being back home will make a huge difference! You are on a great wellness track, and this trip was just a little excursion in the grand scheme (not minimizing how tough family situations can be) and now you're back. My experience has been that less-healthy episodes still happen, but they get fewer and farther between each time.There will always be potholes in the wellness road, but they become shallower and less damaging as wellness gradually becomes the new normal.

Thanks Jeanne. I ordered food for pickup from my grocery store. I focused on salads. I am going to focus on salads for a few days, if not the next week. I need to stop the massive sugar craving I have now.
