wow I swear I posted a comment before but now I do not see it!  I am so hating this new format. I am sorry to hear you hate your job, hopefully it will get better! I am proud of you for being able to keep your weight off. I am hoping for myself to get back on track and to return to the gym in the beginning of January. Have a great holiday!

Hugs, Chris

Very cute Robin! May your holidays be special!
Hugs, Chris

I have been lurking for a long time now.  With my job I can't check in often, at least can't post, I can read at times.

But mostly I tried to come back to the main board and post and I was jumped on for advise that was always appreciated before.  I also realized I didn't really know anyone there.

Then I checked out here.  I felt bad, not because I had gained the weight, but because I have kept it off.  I feel like I would be slapping you all in the face by saying how I have managed somewhat easily to maintain my weight. 

But I am here and will do what I can, if anything.

My update.  I hate my job, but at least I am working.  I drive a truck to Atlanta or Charlotte each week with my husband.  I am either driving or trying to sleep.  The truck is always moving.  So when I am not working/driving, I still can't do anything.  So I feel like I am waisting my life.

I want to work in entertainment.  But with the economy, I can't take the chance.

I am thinking of going back to school to finish my BA, I only have 7 classes to take.  Then get my teaching credentials.  I can only do it on line and am not sure I can even manage one class at a time with the job I have.  It also will cost alot, meaining more student loans.

But I have succeded at my weightloss.  I go up and down a few pounds, but when I go up, I can usually get it back down in a week  or so.  I made sure of a few things.  One I still can only eat 1/2 a cup of soft foods, less of meats.  I eat mostly fat free or low fat foods.  I also do not ever eat sugar, I still dump.  I guess at times I am still obsessed with food, in not eating things that are too high in calories.  I do eat what I want, what I crave, I just find it in a way I can accept.  I have eaten hambergers, fries, and a few other things, but that is rare (except the fries, I have been eating them too often lately, that is changing).

I can offer other choices for foods if anyone is interested in finding something that is an ok food for a food they like that isn't so ok.

Guess that is the catch up on me.  Take care everyone.
