Morning everyone

Mary like Kairk, I totally relate to: I would like to lose 10 pounds by Tues. And then self sabotage.

am trying to eat clean one day at a time and take satisfaction in that. Perhaps it is that all or nothing tape that goes around and around in my head. That is really where the battle is.

but we can do it.

yesterday was a 'good' food day as was the walking.

have a good day everyone.

( a culinary note. Was told that if you put a drop or two of soya sauce on vanilla ice-cream it tastes like butterscotch. The worry is: who thought of this delight in the first place?)

Good morning all! It's a beautiful day - sun shining and crisp, but not too cold! Today I am feeling renewed and hopeful. I went to dance last night, just to watch, and when I got home, I was able to do one of the short routines effortlessly. I think going back to dance, when the doc says it's ok, will help me stay on track better. Dance is my motivation and a symbol, for lack of a better word, of the new life I was given after WLS. If the weight piles back on, there's no way I can dance, and it's that important to me. Have agreat day!

I was thinking this morning how much I am looking forward to the end of daylight savings time! I'm not wild about winter dark in the early evening, but I sure do prefer the sun being up when I drive to work! I do miss setting the clocks back the weekend before Halloween, too. I hate seeing the kids trick or treating while it's still light out. What this has to do with a WLS board, I do not know.... just sharing.....

Scale still up that half pound. Hmmmm...... trying to remember that sticking to my plan will lead to weight loss. It has to. There is no other option. I am working on not reacting to the scale, so this is a good exercise. My instinct is to cut back even more, but I'm only eating 1200-1300 calories per day. I really should not cut back anymore. Today is one of those days where I would wish to have my immediate post op capacity - virtually nothing!- but that is not the case. Have to deal with the "what is", not the "what I wish"....

On the bright side: clothes are fitting well and I'm tucking my shirt in because I don't have a belly that's sticking out anymore! Actually, I don't even look fat - a little stocky maybe, but certainly not fat. These are the things on to which I need to hold when the scale is not moving!

hi all

Kairk makes a good point. i look in the mirror and see a slim person. period. doesn't matter that the scale is up or down a pound. 126 today.

Halloween decorations are in full swing in our neighborhood. Lots of kids around here so its fun. gotta get ready for the attack of the tricker treaters.

still spoiling our girl dog after dental work with scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and liver sausage. she will hate it when its back to kibble.

take care all and get ready to dance moms. diane

I'm hanging in...busy week and my hubby's been out of town. I just don't sleep well when he's gone. Anyway, my scale is still up but down from Monday. I look in the mirror and see a thin person, too. I'm over the high end of my range right now and according my BMI, overweight. I don't feel overweight!!! I don't think I look overweight. It's just a number and it doesn't define me. I would like to be lower but only because I like the way my clothes fit. It's all such a mental game...

Looking forward to my hubby being home tonight!!!
