Laura on Oprah Winfrey

Well Laura, I told everyone I know about you going on O. That was a good one. You got me good girlie. I wish we could all go on and let her see what "an easy way out" really feels like. Love and good job, Love Cindy

Cindy, I would love for one of us to have the chance to go on Oprah and do just that.. It seems like the easy way out becomes more of a challenge each and every day. When the novelty of the New toy wears off and its down to reality. When the pouch begins to accept more and more of the bad stuff the real work begins. And then we have to make minute by minute choices on HOW BAD WE WANT THIS?? What are we willing to day every day the rest of our lives to maintain this new improved lifestyle. And sometimes I think we sabotage that new life subconciously because we fear all those new feelings and situations we might find ourselves dealing with. But Cindy, I want this feeling of lightness and happiness every day, So I am struggling so hard to keep it going. I have finally moved past my plateau and losing again. But I have to be honest and admit, I have not been serious about things for a couple of months. I blamed it on my body needing to adjust and catch up. But the truth is.. I had slipped and was eating more often than I should have and grazing on things I shouldnt have. But I am working hard to gain control over this insanity again. I am truly taking things a minute at a time. Thank you for being such a dear friend and loving me even when I am bad. LOL Big Huge Hugs... Laura

Good one Laura---since I've been home recuperating I've been watching a lot of TV. I fell hook, line and sinker for Martha Stewart's April Fool's show. She did a segment on glittering and glittered a whole chair. I thought it was kind of stupid, but didn't think much of it. Then she did her cooking lesson on charring and even though I'm not a cook I could see that she was truly burning everything. I finally put two and two together--Duh! Leslie
