A GOOD DAY TO ALL

I just wanted to say Good Morning to everyone and let you know, for all of us who are struggling with food issues, I am in your corner, I will do whatever it takes within my power to keep us all strong and moving forward happily and healthily. I will take Ken's lead and embrace this new life with everything I have today! I will do one thing, just one thing out of the ordinary that I would not have even considered doing pre-surgery; I will commit to my work out; I will drink the water, and only ingest sustenance...nutrition that will sustain me and contribute to my well-being, nothing else. This is my commitment to you today. I invite you all to do likewise, and if you can't, my hand is out to you...just stay close until you find your own strength again...we'll pull each other through. I am not giving up on myself, or any of us...there is something very special about this group and I need you more than you could possibly understand. Love and hugs to you, Reenie

OK, Reenie, I'm on board. I started with my deli meat and cheese for breakfast. Luckily I'll be doing back to back to back to back meetings all day so I'll barely have time for lunch, much less a snack. After work it's off to go dancing so I'll get my exercise in that way. I'm commiting to coming back here tomorrow and letting you all know how I did so I'm accountable. Hugs, Connie

Well Said Reenie- I think we all have to do that at this time in our trek, and if we don't keep fighting, those Demons take over and WIN. Not on this trip for sure. I will win this battle & that is where this group helps so much. If we let the demons take over at this point in our quest, we have lost what we have worked so hard to get. So to all out there. Keep fighting & stick with each other & WE WILL KEEP THIS WEIGHT OFF & Win this battle. Marilyn, the Bearlady

Reenie, Man you are so right!!!, but theres a but!!!! I seriously do not know what is wrong with me. I feel like such a failure!!!! with a capital F my food choices have gone to the birds, I dont know if it is stress from everything that has happen to me lately or if everyone is dealing with this. I find myself hungry about 21/2 hours after I've just had my main meal and I want to snack. I am still drinking my water and working out, but I feel like I am losing control. I am gonna try my hardest with food choices and I will come back and let you all know how it is going. How are you so strong????? I wish God had given me more will power! Rhen
