What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud? Max

 so funny, I am so used to not having a mirco that when I see things coming out of a microwave I thing it's weird now. would love to see the red stove! Love Red stuff in the kitchen especially vintage! my kitchen has tons of red vintage stuff in it!!

Michelle, I know exactly what you mean...nuked food just doesn't look or taste the same, that should give everyone a hint right there.  I have a convection oven to heat things fast and as for coffee, who wants to drink old heated up coffee?  I just make fresh.

If you like vintage red...you would be in lust over Kimmie's old stove!

Michelle:
I don't know how to post a pic in a thread but here's a link to the antique gas stoves website - picture is the exact stove that I purchased from them.  My kitchen was red, white and black retro.

I now live in an ultra contemporary house so I sold the stove to a woman in East Texas who was remodeling her kitchen around the stove.  It was truly one of my favorite things I've ever had but I think the woman who bought it might have loved it even more than I did.

Saw the stove, very cool! My MIL has the same stove but it is white and it is totally beat up, she does not take care of it, would look really cool if she restored it!

I understand the frustration of not losing weight fast - I only lost a pound last month, but then I had four binges which interfered with my losing more than that.  I am a recovering compulsive overeater & food addict, and I go to OA and get therapy for my eating issues, as well.  I also pray alot for self control from my Higher Power, and it works for me.  Why the other day my husband & I ordered a large pizza from Pizza Hut.  I always end up overeating on that, eating half the pizza normally (4 pieces).  But this time, I felt satisfied with only 2-1/2 pieces of pizza.  For me, that's real progress!  We saved the last two pieces for his lunch the next two days.

And yes, inches are important!  I've gone from 279 to 263.5 since September 2008.  It's not a large weight loss, but it is progress!  Losing slowly and not "dieting" (eating to lose weight fast) are more livable for me, as long as I follow my food plan and only eat three moderate meals a day.

Hi Mary:
I had a long post last night but the OH gremlins ate it so I'm back tonight to congratulate you on the 3/4 pound loss AND the -1" from your waist.  I know you are SO happy about that!

Why thank you ma'am...I'm THRILLED.  It's like I told Neecee, if someone came on the board and didn't know my 'cir****tances', they would think I had gone nutz for being proud of a 3/4 pound loss!
