I Have a Face.....

FINALLY....IM figuring out this profile stuff..with alittle tweeking Ill have it all down soon...check out the new profile its getting there. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying thier weekend!!!!!! Kimberly

Hello beautiful lady! Good to meet you! How are things going? M.

Kim, I just did the Evelyn Wood speed-read through your profile (I'm on the fly again) - we have a lot in common! I used to perform a lot in the professional theatre, mostly musical theatre, did a lot of cabaret performing as well. We know we both love horses! And your dog, wow, Galiana, she is beautiful! Is she a black shepherd? We had German Sheps when I was a kid, but I lost the love of my life last year, my beloved blue merle collie, Sophie. Anyway, you've been mightly quiet lately, how are you doing. And I'm going to put this out to EVERYONE on the Board because I really need the help. I've got this addiction to these M&M's and I swear I've never had anything like this in my life before so I can't even describe what happens to me. But the compulsion to eat the stuff is so overpowering there is nothing - or seems to be nothing that I can do not to eat it. Can you guys help me??? Is anyone else suffering from a food addiction right now, something that you simply are unable to not eat no matter what? HELP PLEASE. I've got to stop. The blood sugar is going crazy. Kim, you start cuz you have great advice. What do you think??? Maureen

Pretty Picture, Thanks!! Nice to finally see you!! Ladybug Marilyn

HI Reenie...Im doing good just been busy at home....and thank you....Galiana is a pure DDR shepherd..so is Adolf...I also have a few Golden's that I breed, Diamond,Ricky and I kept one of their babies Molson, who I felll in love with and had to keep. Though I needed another dog like a hole in the head LOL Ill put their pictures up eventually....Im going to breed Gali but she is still alittle too young.Adolf I am going to get started in SARS training....he has had basic and immed. training so fair. All are my babys LOL... I have a small zoo here. Just cant wait till I get a horse again. Now...as for the M&Ms delimena...hmmm not sure but just a thought.....how bout trying to get some sugar free ones just to keep the edge off...if you over eat them like crazy welllll unfortunatly a few visit to the porcelain God and you might just break the habit. I dont know but its worth a shot. Ill think this one over more and let you know if I come up with anything. I know I was a popcorn addict and pretzels bigtime...I just try to keep busy and keep them out of site so I wont eat them, or I just grab something else...like cheese or my darn protein almond shake, my new addiction, arggg.This past 5day thing has helped me alot, as for the carb addiction. Its really hard to talk about sweet addiction cause I never really had that yet, well except maybe like a week were I totally PIGGED OUT on hershey minatures till I ate them all then I got it out of my system and just dont buy them nomore. Seriously though this may not be good advice at all...but me and how crazy I think....I would eat so much that I got sick and wouldnt want them nomore. Not good advice but hey it might work. Let me think this over.....your actually doing fine seriously if all youve messed up on was those m&ms...dont let it get you too down. With all of us geniuses here LOL we will figure something out. Otherwise keep doing what your do and hold your head up high...youve gone this far and you will continue to succeed, you havent failed anything, your actually doing very good!!! Ill be thinking...Ill write you more later.... Kimberly

Thank you Marilyn...I was beginning to feel like the outcast mystery lady LOL..but Im finally here...now you all are stuck with me Kimberly

Cute picture! Nice to have a face to attach to the name. I'm starting my 5 day pouch test. You lost 13 pounds!! WOW! I would kill to do that, as that is really all I need to lose. I hope it works for me the way it did for you. Take care and keep posting! Joanie

Ok, Joanie, good luck with this! I've had a tough, tough time. I am resolved to get 12 lbs. off by Sept. 1st, that's my goal - healthy, sensible eating in moderation and exercise - I've really gotten away from that game plan, so I'll keep you posted if you do likewise, ok? M.

I am starting the 5 day pouch thingie tomorrow. It isn't going to be pretty. AND I have to miss the Ladies Auxilary Fish and Chips dinner....well, no big loss there. I have to get the rest of the stuff to make the split pea soup.....had a busy weekend, as usual. If I can lose some weight, even water weight as I have been retaining lately...I'll be happy. I still go to the gym 3 days a week, and try to do a lot of walking on the weekends, so at least I'm staying active. As most people have addictions to sweet stuff (m&m's cookies and the like) I am addicted to salty stuff....the olives and pickles that I have greatly cut back on. I will have my morning coffee tomorrow before the gym and a protein drink. I will have another protein drink when I get to work if I feel I need it. I'll get some sf pudding at lunch. I hope I can do this. 12 pounds is a lot to lose in 3 weeks...don't stress yourself out too much over it. Take care and BE HEALTHY~!!! Joanie

What a beautiful face it is. So happy to finally see you!
