Hi all,

Not much happening here...Today, I just have some housework/laundry to do.  Also, help my husband put the kitchen back together after a pipe leak a couple weeks ago...later going to friends to play wii...omg, it is such a good workout.  We do the sports, boxing especially, I really work up a sweat.

Tomorrow, friends getting together for football...which means bad food and drinks.  I will try to be good.  I kinda have a "I will start again on Monday" mentality.  I know each day is important but...

Anyway, enjoy yourselves.

Hi All

what are your weekend plans?

For a wonderful change, I have no plans for today (Saturday), so am being lazy for a while.     I then plan to do some gardening with my daughter and a sort out in her room to try and persuade her that she has too much stuff and that others ould benefit from it if we give it away, hmmm, not sure of my chances on that one though.

Following on from that, my thoughts today are on 'excess'.  My daughter has an excess of toys and other items in her room.  We live in an excessive culture.  How much does that excessive culture affect our lifestyle?  I know it definitly did pre wls as I ate an excess of food.   

But do I have excessive tendancies still?    Do I have excess food in the house, for example?  Are the cupboards over stocked so that there are always wrong snacks to hand?  Do I still tend to eat to excess on occassion?  I think where we are disciplined in one area, it spills over into others.  If we can begin to live a modest lifestyle, then that will spill over into our food buying habits, and eating habits, and it could help us return to the modest eating we did early out.  And I don't just mean quantity - quality is involved here too.  Over rich, over calorific counts as excess too.

Food for thought..............

Enjoy your weekend everyone   

Hi Guys

so how was your weekend?  Mine was stressville city - family problems and then some...plus my daughter decided to bite her friend whilst on a play date, aghhhhhhh.  We don't know the parents too well either, so very embarrassing.  Any suggestions???  She's never done things like this before, very unusual, then this summer this is the third time.

Anyway, my eating hasn't been too bad considering, and I actually lost the 2 lbs that I had put on during my weeks vacation - woohoo!!!! 

And today I've cut down my portions and snacks and find that I am full on much less food - the more I eat, the more I can eat,,,,,the less I eat, the less I can eat.  Strange, but you'd think I'd have got it by now huh  I guess I'll get it eventually.

Am exhausted, so off to bed.  See you tomorrow - keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you've been up to!!!!!  Plus they are infectious, and spread like wildfire - try it and you'll see.

Hugs,

AMEN SISTAHS i'm right there with you and i don't feel alright so it's time to step back and taken an emotional inventory and discard what isn't useful and do what i know is right. ANDI

You're welcome Maria 

I alwasy think that if I'm going through it then I'm sure that someone else is too!  I'm glad that you realise you are NEVER on your own...

Very well put - destructive behaviour.  Do I let my daughter get away with destroying her toys?  No I get on her case about treating things right.  Well, I'm destroying my body and emotions when I dont' eat right so I need to get on my case too and think like an adult and not my inner child who wants everything now with no consequences.

Thanks for your insite
