Hi BOTTers,

Here we are 1-1/2 months after the New Year.....how are those promises to be/stay on track going? 

For me, I've really struggled with feeling good physically.  For some weird reason when I'm very tired and/or not feeling well, I am vulnerable to unhealthy, emotional eating.  So to answer my own question, I've doing great some days and (clearing my throat here) other days nothing to write home about!!  I am feeling a little better but still struggling with feeling like my old self. 

This week has gone by pretty quickly for me which has been nice.  I don't know exactly what made this week go by quickly but I'm happy it did. 

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.  We're going to celebrate our 20th anniversary and Valentine's Day for a combo celebration.  It will be fun.  We're going to do a family day rather than a day with just my husband and I.  As my kids get older I find myself wanting to spend more and more time with them.  Thankfully they still like that too even though one is a teenager.  I hope that will continue.

I know what I'm doing for my loved ones for Valentine's Day but I'm also going to do something for myself.  After all, it is the day of love.  Yes, I love my husband, sons and friends and me too!!  So for the day of love, remember yourself too!

Give yourself a great big hug!

Hello BOTT Family,
Yes, I agree with Cathy...time is moving really quickly.  I myself will be glad when the end of the month has come and gone.  I too have been an emotional wreck...mainly because I know I have to see my surgeon and I haven't lost any additional weight.  When I had my visist last year I had my happy bubble bursted when the doctor said that I should have lost an additional 30lbs and that I should be at GOAL!  My little world just collasped all around me and I was so upset I cried all the way home.

Eating wise I have my good days and bad days...seems like more bad than good these pass few weeks with financial worries and the threat of a  layoff hanging over my head.  Visiting the boards and seeing how well others are doing along with pleasant  and strong words of encouragement, keeps me going strong.  I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I will reach my goal soon.  I told my trainer today I need him to turn into Bob Harper from the Biggest Loser and give me a little more of a push.

Hi Cathy,

Great post...I think it's about time we did some poking and get BOTTs jazzed again.  I am sure everyone is kinda like oh my, I am now where I want to be...

Time for a restart!!!

Take care,
Kathy
