We tried to sell our apartment but it was on the market for 18 months and I think only 3 people came to see it. We would love to live closer, at least maybe around the middle of the country. I gave my proposal to my boss, but he hasn't had any time to look at it or talk to me about it. Commuting and now working too many hours is definitely eating up my time and honestly making me feel pretty depressed. due to past lives (meaning both of us have exes and financial disasters to go along with them) we are kind of limited at the moment.

I'm definitely open to other ideas :) So the thing is, I don't have the hunger as much as when I was running 25-30KM a week. I honestly think it was the intense activity and perhaps not eating enough or eating the right combination of things. I have been working with Dietitian number 2 and she's helping me work out what and when I should eat. I will mention it to her though, and ask her about wheat products. Can't do any harm right? To be honest though I don't eat a LOT of wheat/bread as it is, so I am not totally sure it will make a difference. What I really think is the culprit is too much dinner and maybe the wine... So I am working on portion sizes as well. Thanks for the input, I'll be sure to update when I see her again in 2 weeks!

However, have had a bit of a read of your blog and although I haven't seen the whole story, I have picked up that you are obviously struggling to lose weight, that you suffer from afternoon cravings and you are finding it difficult to stay in control. I don't mean to stick my nose into your business, but I have the same problem and I think I have managed to over come mine (a bit anyway). My nemesis is WHEAT. The more I eat the more I want. Having excluded it for a few weeks (difficult at first but easier once you get into it), I no longer have those afternoon cravings/slumps and I find because I don't eat it, it excludes masses of things that I am tempted to eat. I do still eat carbs, oats, rice, potatoes etc. As I feel more in control, my weight is coming off - not very quickly but enough to keep on doing it and I do feel so much better! I am also doing WW points too, so I think its maybe the combination of both. Anyway, as I said, may not be your thing, but thought it might be useful to pass on the information. Good luck with it. Hope everything works out with your working from home . . .. x Hi there

If not, working from home does sound like a good idea. Commuting must be eating up so much of your time. Is moving closer to work an option at all?

I think that's awesome and should definitely lift your stress levels! Good luck! I’m super happy to hear your boss was so receptive to you working from home one or two days a week.

I am definitely getting to a point of acceptance. Not particularly of the numbers, but more like this is my life right now, how can I work with it? ah, thanks Tammy!

I'm definitely not giving up, it's not really an option, you know? I still need to put a proper proposal in writing to my boss so he can present it to the other bosses, maybe this week... I did talk to a colleague of mine who is really good with that stuff and she also gave me some great ideas. It most certainly will make a difference! thanks and hope you have a great week too. thanks for coming by Emilie! I’m definitely not giving up, it’s not really an option, you know?
