Thanks HH, cheese is a major red light food for me... very hard to leave alone, I usually just buy the processed slices, they're easier to ignore. But, I guess I need to learn to resist foods, to remember who has the real power here. Thanks Robyn...

Hello

I'm looking forward enjoying participating here... I'd lost (and maintained all but 18 pounds of that loss) 75 pounds since November 2005, and am now tackling the last 40... which is still a lot, but compared to the 101 pounds I was looking at when I started this thing... it's doable.

There are new challenges in this for me now. Different living arrangements, new stresses that I am learning to work with instead of turning to food. For instance, I've discovered just how much of a help exercise is, which is great!

Anyway, looking forward to getting to know people here, I've already found other member's blogs so helpful, and I hope to help and inspire others as I move further on in the journey as well. :-)

And we can officially consider it a streak...

of three weeks in a row with a loss. Now, granted, it's a grand total of 0.8, lol, but I'm okay with that.

I was better this week than past weeks, but still there were days when I was "almost" following plan. However, the big thing is the change of attitude. Realizing that I am NOT my weight, that I don't need to define myself by the number, focusing instead on all the other things I am, building myself up, has made for a much better, happier me this week.

So that's the focus again this week.… Continue

Getting There

I know, I've been MIA for a couple of weeks, but I'm back...

We were in Kentucky a couple of weeks ago for my fiance's grandmother's funeral, and the choices for food were tough... I ended up gaining 4.6 pounds, and while I was trying not to beat myself up too much, I was feeling very discouraged. So, since blogging just didn't feel like it was going to help me this time (I'd been feeling like I've been writing a whole lot of empty words with no actions or progress to back them up, and I needed… Continue

Back Home

And all fooded out! It was an effort to even eat breakfast this morning, but if I don't, then I end up nibbling all day.

We drove to Kentucky (12 hours) to attend my fiance's grandmother's memorial services and funeral. Stayed for several days with his family (as lots of people hadn't seen each other in several years, it was very much a reunion as well).

And ate. And ate. Minimal water, lots of foods I don't normally eat, no veggies to be found anywhere. I did the best I could, made the best c… Continue

Okay, take 2

Although yesterday was very good, I did have one major slip up in the afternoon, while I was on the phone with my best friend. A slip up to the tune of a double moon pie and some pastry bites. Probably about 700-800 calories total.
We were talking about something that triggers me in a big way, that in fact, is what's lead to the 18 pounds I gained when I got here.

Which makes the comment by Michelle Gay on another Sarah's post very appropriate for me today: "the body doesn't crave crap, we ment… Continue

One good day...that's all I need.

And today is going to be it.

Today I am focusing on nothing but today. I want another loss on Friday, for 3 weeks in a row... and that means I focus on today. Not how much I can lose by such and such a day. Not stepping on the scale a dozen times to see how I am doing (like that does anything but heighten the obsessiveness and create anxiety and fear of failure).

Today. I trust the program. I trust that I know how to do this. I trust that I can do this.

I've had a great breakfas… Continue

OMG I agree! All you have to do is be sensible and do what's necessary and not restrict yourself so much, because just like you it's working for me! Who knew? I don't exercise as much as I used to on my former plan or eat as strict but I'm still losing and enjoying myself. Feels good! And I believe in the same thing: We are each significant in this world and put here to make a difference, no matter how big or small. I also believe that each person in their own way affects the rest of the world like the butterfly effect. For every person we lose, the world changes significantly than if they had been alive one more day--whether we realize it or not. So my purpose is to employ that power and make small affects to everyones life whether it be a small hello or smile to a stranger. Like a ripple, that kindness passes on to the next. So I've got only one thing to say : You're beautiful dah-lin! Stay sweet and commited!!!

Suzyn! Just stopping by to say a big hello to you my friend (I love that we really are "the long and the short of it" - that there is a 15" difference in our heights! It pleases me for some odd reason! :) Have an absolutely wonderful weekend!
