! lost 2/10 of a pound last week and weather!

I did not graze at all yesterday and I was home all day.  I tried to get my hubby's butt out of the house all day but couldn't budge him until dinner time.  I did get him to walk about a half mile around the shopping center before dinner.  Anyway, I only lost 2/10 of a pound last week, but I am not upset.  I am grateful I didn't gain.  I will do better next week.  I found a book at Borders called " Why Can't I Stop Eating? Recognizing, Understanding, and Overcoming Food Addiction" by Debbie Danowski and Pedro Lazaro, MD.  I plan to read it this week while recovering from my shoulder procedure.  Thank you all for your well wishes on the loss of my sweet kitty.  She was a delight in my life. Below is a photograph I took about 30 minutes ago in my backyard.  The weatherman predicted rain with possible flurries last night.

Marilyn, I am so proud for you...  and you know what...  we are your support group and if you want/need to come here every single day and post what you are eating, or if you want to give us daily, hourly, minutely (word?!) updates, you go ahead and do just that.  We will cheerlead you on because we want to see you succeed. 

Hey Girl,
   Keep up the good work. Like you said there was no gain. Tell Ron to get up off his Lazy Butt and Both of you go walking. It will be good for both of you. I am jealous with the snow. I want it to snow knee deep  to a Giraffe here. I guess that is the inner kid in me. PM me i have a question for you.

Something that seems simple (not grazing) is sometimes overwhelming for some of us.  I too have been a bad carb addict.  So far (new post op) it has been easy for me to stay on the straight and narrow, but I know the time is coming when I will struggle.  

Please continue to use the boards as a tool to overcome your addictions.  We will be here for you with encouragement and support.  

In return,  it will be inspiring for me to watch you win the battle with your food addictions.  Remember there are those of us out here who are wanting you to succeed so that you will lead us by example. 

Best of luck to you. 

Good job! 


...so now you know you can do it? 

Marilyn,  I know from your posts you are struggling, but thanks to you, I didn't graze yesterday either.  I thought of you everytime my body took me to the kitchen and I knew I wasn't hungry.  Once I even had the refrig door open, and I thought, "NO, I commented to Marilyn that I wouldn't graze today." 

So, I'll make that commitment to you each day, that you will be in my thoughts as I convince my hands not to reach for food when I am not hungry.

Congratz on the loss, every loss is a victory!

Take care and I'm not grazing again today!
HUGS
