Wednesday Check In

Hello everybody. Hope yall are surviving this heat. It's going to be HOT, HOT, HOT today so keep those water bottles and tea glasses filled up. Like Carrie pointed out yesterday - DON'T WAIT TIL YOU FEEL THIRSTY!!

We had a great trip back to the Charlotte area to be with David's family over the 4th. The only down side was having to pack up and head back home. We could easily have stayed for a much longer visit.

Now that we're home I'm happy & frustrated to report that my scales haven't moved. I guess that's a good thing - but my body and my brain haven't really come to an agreement about this weight being my final weight. I am healthier than I have ever been. I wear smaller clothes sizes than I have ever worn in my adult life (including Jr. high).  I have more energy than I have ever had. I am happy and content in my personal and professional life. So why can't I wrap my head around this number on the scale?

How's things with everyone else?

Hi Iris,

My life continues to be a pressure cooker and I have been losing weight. Believe it or not, my counselor suggested that I make some 'comfort' foods. I did and am working on enjoying some of them, but I'm having trouble even with eating things I love. That said, I can only enjoy a little bit anyway. I'm trying to find other ways to support and comfort myself and I would say that I'm no where near medicating myself with food. I'm doing all that I can just to eat. I did go to Trader Joe's and stocked up on good for me comfort foods.
