I wasn't hungry this morning!

I have been having major problems with food, or the lack thereof. (see earlier post Confessions of a Cheater). I started trying the vegetarian meats. They are higher in protien (Thanks Dina!) and are soft. For two days now I haven't been ravenously hungry when I wake up or throughout the day for that matter. This is a MAJOR change and one I am happy to see. My weight loss seems to have stalled but only slightly. I am under 300 now and that's a good thing. I weigh each morning and have been about 297-298 for a couple of days. I like that really. I will start today with my walking fitness tapes and think I will feel better for it. I slept A LOT yesterday but have an understanding DH who tells me that my tiredness is a sign that my body is healing. I feel better both emotionally and physically today, so I guess today is a good day! Gayle Queen of Yarn Balls 320/297/175

Gayle - that's wonderful that you found something to curb the hungries and give you something to chew on. I bet it helps with your emotions quite a bit! I know I shouldn't say anything, and I'm not trying to encourage what some might consider negative behavior, but I just am happy you decided to listen to your body. People are all so different and sometimes I think it's necessary to make choices for ourselves that aren't always accepted by others. And by the way- I had no idea we were so close in weight from beginning to now. I started at 325 and am right around 300 now. Too funny! Dina

And again - picking up the pieces of my major faux-pas here! That wasn't Latrisha who just posted to you - it was me, Dina. I was updating her profile with a link a bit earlier and forgot to sign out! Yikes! Dina

gayle...i was probly one of those naysayers yesterday--and i was trying not to judge you-- we all have to do what works for us-- after i got offline, my gang wanted pancakes--which is my job--so while i'm cooking them i thought hard about everything i've been seeing on here- so many eating so soon out...and so i confess--i sat and ate about a 1 1/2 inch by 1 inch piece of pancake--no syrup no butter -nothing--just nibbled...it was lite and felt good to eat--but i waited- no knot in my tummy- well- then i felt guilty all day- and hypocritical..... it's getting to me but i am still trying to last it out til friday..... as for you this am---i'm glad that you have gotten the urges under control....i think those are so much worse than actual hunger!!!!!! and i'm sure you 'll have them again! i'm sure i will too!!!!!! yes, your body is healing and it sounds like it's doing it well!!!!!! forgive me if i was out of line yesterday.
