You look absolutely wonderful! You are so tiny! You did a great job over the past year. Keep it up! Christine

hmm .. thats interesting. We just had the 1 year ...

You need to always watch what you are eating. It is especially harder around the holidays. People making candy and all these parties to attend. The worst part of all of this is the muching/grazing. I found myself going back up right around Thanksgiving and I freaked out. I wont allow myseld to get over 160. If I even start heading that way, I star****ching what I am eating. Going back to the basics. Water - protein... This is not an easy journey and once we have lost - dont ever think we wont regain. Its always possible and you have to want to not want to be fat again. I read someone on the main board once saying: Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels. Although I could disagree - I wont.. Life is so much better now. Its just a learning process. We are all still learning together.

You need to go back to the high protein thicker foods. Banana nut bread is not fulling at all. Try to go back to chicken and turkey and stuff like that. Get away from the carbs. I too felt myself slipping back and had to remind myself of where I started and I tell you what sister.. I dont want to be that fat ass anymore. Step away from the munching and if you must snack - make it protein of some sort. Beef Jerky, Ham and Cheese Roll Ups, even brocolli or cauliflower. Even though something can be sugar free - it is not calorie free. I know I cant have stuff like that in my house or I will eat it all. If you must have a peice - make it- eat a peice and give the rest to your neighbors. Dont give in to that junk.. You can do this!

Ok, thanks for the input!! That's all I want .. just to be "normal as can be".... Susan
