What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud? The New Biggest Loser
I'm proud that I made it through my Biggest Loser withdrawals and that the new shows start tomorrow night.
I Be So Happy! 
There is going to be a guy on who is supposed to be the biggest person ever to be on the ranch. I just can't imagine how he is even going to make it because he has on an oxygen mask on while he is working out. I hope for his sake that Jillian is not his trainer...she'll kill 'im. And Neecee was worried about Ruby getting hurt!

You know, there are a lot of people who are of the opinion that you should be able to eat all things in moderation. That is a great concept if you are not a food addict and have a great metabolism. But for those who are true addicts, it doesn't make sense to me to continue to eat foods that are your sworn enemy. My sworn enemies by name are Pepsi Cola and Bunny White Bread. I am completely addicted to them and used to drink Pepsi instead of water. How sick was I? But I swore off of those two particular items and never looked back. I ain't gonna lie and say it was easy, but the more you can turn your back on them, the easier it gets. After seven years, I can honestly say that it doesn't even bother me one iota that I will never have that again.
I hope you can find it within yourself to Get R Done!

Hmmmm...you know I'm an "eat foods in moderation" gal but I definitely was a food addict and never thought I had a great metabolism (although I changed that with building muscle). Chips, ice cream and mexican food were my vices but I can eat them in moderation and I never binge on them (TG, 'cuz the hell over the last year would have put me back at ~280 lbs)!
Maybe moderation won't work for me forever but it does now. Our differences are what make us so special, I guess. 
And how the hell you can eat just a few bites of ice cream still boggles my mind. How DO you eat just a few bites of ice cream. Back in the day, a few bites wouldn't even have been worth opening the carton! When I used to eat ice cream, it was a whole bowl with a side order of much guilt.

I don't know HOW I do what I do. If I did, I'd package it and sell it.
There's lots of willpower involved but it has to be more than that 'cuz willpower usually doesn't last for five years. Dealing with the reasons I fed my feelings maybe? Maybe it's temporary and won't be effective forever? 
If so, I'll have to change. Mary

You have as much willpower as I do - staying away from carbs. I don't think I could do that indefinitely.
Hi Mary! My proud? survived a hellacious work day! SOOO glad I started out with yoga and fasted on Ruth's herbal drink today. Actually felt great!
If I forget or get too busy - I am off to San Diego til Monday at a conference, so I plan to watch BL tomorrow night at the Omni!
