Getting control over food-Preparing our minds

During the next 30-60 days we will be experiencing head-withdrawal from the control that food, especially junk food (for me, spelled S-U-G-A-R), has had over us. For most of us, this is going to be really tough and we may grieve the loss of "our best friend". Today on the way to work I heard the 90's song "You just Keep me Hanging on". I think when I crave junk food, I will try to walk or exercise to this song and throw it into the face of this "friend" that has betrayed me! Listen to the lyrics: Set me free, why don't you babe Get out my life Why don't you babe Cos you really don't want me You just keep me hanging on No you really don't need me You just keep me hanging on Why do you keep coming around Playing with my heart Why don't you get out of my life And let me make a new start Let me get over you The way you've gotten over me, yeah Set me free why don't you babe Get out my life Why don't you babe Cos you really don't want me You just keep me hanging on No you really don't need me You just keep me hanging on You said although we broke up We could still be friends But how can we still be friends When seeing you only breaks my heart again There aint nothing I can do about it You know I need love (Set me free why don't you babe) Talking bout love (Get out my life why don't you babe) Cos you really don't want me You just keep me hanging on It just said something to me...maybe it will to you...

Good choice, Joy! I was born and raised in and around Motown, so this is one of "our" songs, and ironically, it's been used in battles against many addictions around here. VERY wise choice indeed! Kimmer Motown Girl Zero-minus-13 and 7 workdays to go!

It's got a good beat, and now we'll be able to dance to it! But, for those times when we just can't exercise, or have already done our excercise and still want our old friend... We need to come up with a plan for something to DO other than mourn that Reese's peanut butter cup. My plans: I'm going to learn to play the harp. Painting - crafty type stuff. Play my guitar more. Learn another language - like French or Latin! Read Any other ideas?
