Hey Kathryn good to see you again. It's only 12lbs - you realised in time to do something positive about it. You coudl have left it until it was 120lbs - then would be a time to worry. You've done it before, you can do it again. Get back to basics - stay away from grazing and you'll get those off in no time. Glad to hear that you have been enjoying life- that's what wls is all about.. Be good to see you around more now you are back

Welcome home.. and 12 lbs is part of the bounce. just get back on track, and take it off... protein and vegetables... lots of water... exercise... you know the drill

you're talking to the psycho who enjoy ironing and finds it relaxing! I love to read and I love a hot tea. ANDI

my destress regiment wash the dishes while waiting for a pot of hot tea to seep hang out a load of laundry to dry THE OLD FASHIONED WAY (for some reason, hanging laundry up is VERY RELAXING reading a good book

Ooh, those are some good ideas - I really need times of sitting quietly pondering, and I haven't made time for it. I also haven't done my nails in like forever - I just did them this morning while siting in bed relaxing (then went and hung wallpaper in teh bedroom so they look a mess again, but I got the benefit from it, plus I get to do it all over again later ) One thing I've started doing again is playing my keyboard. These are the things that get pushed out of the schedule but are probably the most important! My daughter loves giving (and receiving) head massages. It only takes a few moments, but boy does it feel good. Anyone else have any other ideas - come on gang...
