Jen, I will keep you and the baby in my thoughts. I hope everything is ok. Karyn

You both are in my thoughts.

Hey friend, Funny, but I think that is what I have been doing without thinking about it. I went to Karls Jr. with my hubby today, a very emotional day, not happy, and with the thought of having a hamburger. Well, my brain wouldn't let me and I had the best grilled chicken salad. Now I did have to settle for ranch dressing, a real bad thing in my book, but I added it to my calories for the day and changed my dinner idea. So I do act more on instinct. In fact, I know there was a time that my Mom actually considered my borderline anerexic (sp) because I was SOOO picky about what I ate, to the point of obssesion, but I lost all the weight I wanted and am holding within 5lbs. now. So I guess, either look at it like you do, or make a list of what you will allow yourself to eat, and only eat that. It is a choice of wanting to make the best of all we have been through. I know I never want to go back. Even the 5lbs. feels bad on me, I can feel it, and I hate it. So I have lost at least one of those pounds now and am starting to feel better. Hope things are going great for you these days

Hey Robin!!! How are you doing???? very nice to see you!!! I hope you are well!!! Alex

Wendy Sweetie, I am right there with you. Despite remaining under my Doc's goal of 187, I am almost 13 #s above my least weight and a good 8-10 over my comfort zone. I'm eating the wrong things and way too much of them. Temptation is my lover and I have no will power. I still remember the rules: 1. Protein first, then veges then carbs if at all. 2. Exercise, exercise exercise. 3. Water Water Water. I just don't follow them well. Robin in NJ
