I so get this. It's like when I'm in a hurry - I still think I want the instant gratification. Really a mind over matter thing. I came from a family of 8. We ate like little pigs at a troff. You didn't get 2nd's till you finished your plate. Of course there was always the children starving in China.

I promise...it will get better. Enjoy the ride!

Amazing how litlle things change that mean so much!!!!!

I take them - works great!

one thing Ive noticed - I have a hard time knowing what to say to a complement - it's a process -like the rest of my journey

You go girl!!!!!!

If I don't measure - I could eat more - but don't. I set out this much and call it done.

Be careful of cross addiction here. It can be a slippery slope. Not for me - I realized early out - I can't handle it!
I didn't go through all this to end up a alcoholic.

This shall pass. But in the mean time count to 10. Say a Serenity Prayer. Breathe deep!

When I lay on my back on a exercise ball for a minute or so - it really seems to help!

Makes me smile. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know why...I'm 2 yearrs out and it is still uncomfortable to eat thin sliced roast beef.
The other thing is anytime I reheat burgers in the microwave.

...for my 2 cents...I've had friends say to me....is that the surgery Carnie Wilson had? She's gained so much weight...blah..blah...blah. Welll- yeah-so did Al Roker. He looks great! I started at 259 almost 2 years ago and hang tight at 170. My New Years Resolution is to step it up and lose 11 punds so I can say I lost a 100. But , I travel this road everyday. Work out at the gym at least 3 times a week. I have struggled with getting tipsy, cleaning and organizing to excess. I have a very addictive nature. So my friends I take it one step at a time . BUT I HAVE TO BE WILLING TO TAKE THE STEPS. I just don't think she is willing to put forth effort.Once again...money can't buy happiness!
