Thank you....

I would like to thank you all for the wonderful comments to my most recent thread.  Your supportive comments...encouraging words...and kindness is greatly appreciated.  Although I am very down with myself right now, I know that we all go through these moments.  A very wise person told me that after we lose weight, and are "thin"...we are constantly complimented and supported.  After awhile..the weight loss stops..and being "thin" is simply the way it is.  Sadly, it becomes anti-climatic..and it is as though we lose our purpose.  I know for myself..  I have lost that purpose.. I have to wonder if I allowed myself to gain..only so that I could feel sorry for myself..to then inspire the renewed weight loss.  If that makes sense.   I know that I am not happy with myself.  I know that I am tired....work has be dragged out...and that life at home is having its moments...but tell me somebody not in the same situation. I know that in all things...this tooooo shall pass.   I have really taken the bull by the horns this week.  I have been doing light breakfasts, (protein shakes), I have been doing yogurt for lunch, a package (6) crackers and peanut butter (as a day snack), and then a sensible dinner.  As long as I watch what I do....continue to exercise... I will be okay.... OF course, part of being okay...is knowing that you are out there for me... THANKS!!!!!

Hang in there! BTW, You are a National Board Cert Teacher? What do you teach? I am in middle School science. I went for NB last year and did not pass. I haven't decided of I am going back to redo one of my entries or not. Anyway... Amy
