Topic: RE: Restriction for us vets.....
The varying from meal to meal is sometimes hard to deal with. I find it hard because I will really look forward to dinner, something I may not have had in a while, or something I know I will enjoy...what happens? I get stuck on it the first few bites, or I get stuck earlier in the day and then I can't eat dinner.
I try to be so careful but sometimes it's for nothing. Overall I think my restriction is pretty good....since I've been stuck I have had nothing but coffee and likely will have no food today. If only that would help me break my plateau...not!

Stress affects me big time. I have had a stressful weekend, but mostly lots going on around the house. DH doing carpentry work and I clean up afterwards, just because it's been tracked through the house. Crappy weather, shoveling snow, downpouring cold rain while trying to clean the ice off my car.....yesterday wasn't a good day.

Karen,
Sounds like a great goal and I love that you're doing it with your daughter. The more you teach her at a young age, the more she'll benefit as she gets older.
Good for you!

Topic: RE: Restriction for us vets.....
my restriction varies from day to day, from time to time and never seems to be the same............but it's all pretty good. Exercise (of any kind) tightens me up for several hours, so going out to dinner after s not my best idea (found that out the hard way)............and sometimes I can have a big lunch or dinner and sometimes not....no rhyme or reason, so I just go with whatever is happening.......last night I sat down for dinner with my sister and her husband (he was banded last spring) and about 5 bites into my meal my stomach started gurgling...........okay....I was done.....and I stayed full all night.....in fact, I'm just going to have breakfast now and it's already 1:40 in the afternoon (new time).

Yup....I've been really lazy abou****ching my food and doing exercise. I'm at that age where I really have to be concerned with the exercise cause my knees are bothering me and I have a problem with my ankle from when I fell many years ago....exercise it definitely the key to keep them from getting worse........so, my goals are to get back to the gym and my walking program - I meet with friends twice a week for a 3.5 mile walk around the lake. Gotta start being more aware of what I'm eating and then the pounds will start to come off again........I've been kind of stagnant in my loss and I still have a ways to go.
Good post Nancy............we all need this positive motivation....I'm glad winter is almost done.

Amen! I finally accepted that I will NOT be skinny ever. I'm not built that way. I'm 'wide' or 'broad' or whatever you want to call it! And to think I'll ever have the shape of someone like Vivien Leigh when I'm built like Liza Minelli is STUPID and setting myself up for failure! I am NOT a size 26 today. I'm a size 16 and by golly...that's just fine with me!
