TOUGH WEEKEND

Hi Maureen; I'm not going to be my usual long-winded self on this one because there's lots of wisdom here ahead of me. I just wanted you to know that I'm with you and I had a few troubles along the way myself. Just when the damn scale was starting to move a bit, I bombed out by eating some strange junk including of all things a ^$&*#^ Krispy Kreme donut!!! I don't even like the damn things!! It's almost as if I really want to be fat....very strange. I've really hit the exercise hard to try and make up for the calories and hope that I get my fool head straight. This affliction of ours is really like alcohol or drug addiction.... we need to take it one day at a time and keep picking ourselves up when we fall down. I am bound and determined not to go back to the "Old Me"....Hang in there, kiddo and we'll get through this together. Mike

I count on you're "being there" more than you could possibly know. Thanks, Mike. Again, and again, and again...Maureen

Hi Everyone, I was computerless for a couple of days, but its fixed now, Yeah! I can relate to all of this. I think we all go thru this weather we like it or not its just part of us. I am sitting here eating a partial bag of Munchies just because its here. I am not even hungry. So it just happens we just need to deal with it better than we did in the past & stop before we get really out of control. I also can eat just about anything & Mike I can relate to the Krispy Kreme STuff, I don't even like them either & find myself buying one or 2 every once in awhile. I think its just old habits trying to take us over. We have to FIGHT THAT DEVIL & say NO TO THE FOOD DRUGS & stay on our much healthier course of life. all of yor posts were great, we have to stick together with this or we can't win the battle Marilyn, the Bearlady

Thanks, Marilyn. I guess it's the fight that makes me nervous -- I was never able to successfully battle the "devil" before, so why should I believe I'll be any more successful now? Just trying to understand it all. Have a great day. Reenie

I have sat down to reply to this no less than three times and been interrupted somewhere in the middle of my reply each time. I'll keep it short this time. Reenie - I hear ya. I feel ya. I'm with ya. Jen - Get out of my head! lol Hugs, Connie

Thanks, Connie. They say misery loves company but in this case, I'm concerned for all of us as it seems we're all wrestling with the same issues right now. Talk to you soon...Reenie
