Britt,
You are sooooo sweet! I was expecting to be scolded thoroughly but all I got was LOVE. You and everyone on this board are the kindest people on Earth. Even when one of us stumbles, you pick us up and help us on our way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am proud of myself for having the courage to post. I just felt so out of control. How can such strong people give such control of their life over to something like food? I can't wrap my head around it. If it were a person telling us to do something we know to be wrong, we would tell them where to get off. How can we have such little power/control over our own brain? I guess that is what makes it a disease-addiction is a disease. Plain and simple.
Anyway, I did well yesterday. I ate according to plan and did a water aerobics class at the gym. Today has been well too. I am starting my "one day at a time" approach to weight loss. Actually, for me, it is one moment at a time. I am on track at this moment.
I am very pleased at my 4.6 lb loss for the week. I DO NOT CHOOSE to let my "unplanned eating" ruin the progress I made.
Hugs,
Valorie

CeCe,
Thank you for your encouraging words. I had to grab a tissue as I sat at my desk reading your reply.
Ultimately, I made the right decision to own up to my "unplanned eating" as Beck would call it. I am glad you guys offer a safe place without judgement for me to fess up. I don't think I would have been as comfortable in any other forum or board.
Your scenario of asking you hubby where he wants to eat made me laugh! I am so guilty of trying to use DH as an excuse to eat badly. That is how the apple pie came into our home. I "rationalized" that David would love some pie for Sunday night dessert. After all, the only thing I made for dinner was vegetable soup- no fat, no meat- like the cabbage soup diet type. Funny thing was, he didn't eat a bite of the pie till I made him take the remainders with him to work on Monday. I told him to eat it or give it away, but for Heaven's sake, make it disappear before I did. You are right to say that they benefit as much as we do from healthy eating. David has dropped about 30 lbs in the past year and half. He looks and feels better too and never complains when I cook "healthy" or even if I don't cook at all.
Thanks again for the comforting words. You are the BEST!
Hugs,
Valorie

Its been a while since I visited this board. Everyone looks FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! Its hard to believe that almost a year and a half ago we started this journey that seemed like it would take FOREVER! For me, its been one of the most fantastic rides of my life. I have always been the fat girl of the family. Its hard to believe that I am smaller than most of them now. I dont have exact weight stats but heres the bottom line.....
Starting weight 320
Current weight 160
I have literally lost half of me. That half is gone forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Britt. Everything is going to be fine. The doctor said she may be able to go home in about 5-7 days. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!
