This week Mamavation TV is going to be good and as usual I have to miss it L

I want to learn about healthy snacks. As an emotional eater it is hard to eat not so healthy foods when I am stressed out. Even thought I took food to work, the week was so stressful that on Friday I had to open a bottle of sparkling wine. Well, I did not have to open it, but you know what I mean… LOL

I think that since my office does not have a good lunch room and the refrigerator is always so dirty, I do not feel comfortable taking the food. I take things that can stay on my lunch container, but nothing that require to be on the refrigerator. Maybe I should get a cooler; does anyone know about a small cooler? Let me know.

I have been trying to give up soda again. I have been using the sparkling water with strawberries and crystal light. I have to admit that when I am really stressed out it is either a frapuccino or a diet coke, so I guess I always choose the diet coke…

I do not know what is going on with our health. My son and I are AGAIN, sick. Not too bad, but the fever, sore throat and muscle pains are enough to keep us on bed for most part of Sunday. I hope are not sick for the rest of the week. I really want to get back on the elliptical. At least 30 minutes at night while I watch some TV.

I am trying to get into a routine, but with the stress at work and the sickness at home it has been difficult. I am hoping for better luck this week.

If I let myself I can consume a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi within a few days. I sometimes just get this craving for it and just one leads to another so I have to limit myself. I really try not to drink them at all but sometimes it is I just gotta have one. It is very hard to get back off of them once you have been drinking them. I have been doing the Crystal Light Lemonade and Tea and that I seems to be working pretty well as far as getting my water consumption in. Best of luck to you. I hope that you have a fantastic week ahead.

I'm addicted to milk not soda, but I bought those MIO liquid to add to my water. I started with 2 squirts per bottle, then stepped down to one and now I don't need the flavor.
I have several coolers that I've taken when I worked because we didn't have a fridge. As long as you have plenty of ice your good.
Good luck...we'll take notes on snacking for you.

There are plenty of snacks you can bring that don't need to be refrigerated, but having a smaller cooler bag would probably help! I thought soda would be hard to give up, but after a few weeks it didn't even miss it. Good luck!!

Get your rest so you can feel better!
I know how hard it is to have healthy lunches/snacks at work. We have a mini fridge and there isn't much room with 4 of us here.., I have a cooler (a bag cooler - you can get them at Kroger or WalMart) which I put in the freezer and put ice in before I leave so it can keep my salad and dressing, or my sandwich cold enough.
I KNOW how hard it is to give up soda! Megan has helped me come up with some alternatives, like fruit in your water, and I also found this AWESOME flavored sparkling water at Kroger called ICE they have TONS of flavors and it helps when I am getting that craving for a Diet Coke!
Get yourself better and just start one step at a time and you'll be fine! I know you can do it!

Another suggestion I have is have a list of things you can do besides eating for stressful moments. Post it on your fridge. When you are running there for comfort look at the list and try doing something on the list before you snack.

I also like mio and you can put it in plain soda water if you are addicted to sparkle!
