Could Just Kick myself!

I understand what you are going through with the exercise. I have two young children, 3 1/2 and 18 months, who want nothing to do with a stroller.  So, we take a family walk (which can be a very slow stroll when they are compelled to stop and examine every ant hill and pick up and throw every rock) every night after dinner.  When they break out into a run, so do we.  We always try to get them in the wagon (which we take in case they get tired - but they never do) and haul them up steep hills. We just go longer and play a lot more outside.  It may not be structured exercise but our bodies are moving.

You can do this!

I have to laugh about the young ones examining every rock & ant hill. So true. lol.
I also like the idea of saying that it's all good if at least our bodies are moving. I will keep that in mind because most times for me it is an all or nothing thing, so that puts a positive spin to it.
Thanks.

I can totally relate.  My WLS was in Jan 2005 - done well until about a year ago and now gained 40 lb.  I have started and restarted so many times but I keep plugging along.  Yesterday was a restart and I am taking one meal/one day at a time.  Yesterday was good - totally faithful and today so far - doing good.  Your wine is my hershey kisses.  I got to a point that I really think I have a hershey kiss eating disorder........REALLY!  It is awful when you find yourself thinking about hershey kisses.  My husband tells me "you have come to far  to put the weight on now"....and I agree with him.  I can give excuses on top of excuses..

Even though I have restarted so many times, this group is a lot of help and encouragement.  Hang in there - one meal/one day at a time.   

So far.....
Breakfast - Unjury Chocolate Shake
AM Snack - Quest Cinnamon Protein Bar
Lunch - Bacon Ranch Salad from McD's with ranch dressing
Afternoon Snack - Unjury Strawberry Lemon Shake
Dinner - meat and veggie (not sure yet)
Evening Snack - if needed - Unjury Oatmeal snack

Another downfall is those evil bathroom scales.  I am going to stay off of them for a while and judge my weight loss from my clothes.  I get so frustrated when those scales don't move.  I am trying to stay away from those things that cause me to fail. 

Exercise has gone out the window.  I don't like to exercise and can really talk myself out of it very easy.  But I do like working in the yard, so with the warm weather, doing some yard work to get some activity in. 

Hang in There!

You are so funny because Hershey Kisses are probaby the reason that I had to have surgery in the 1st place! (Lol about the Hershey Kiss disorder.) Thank you for your view on things.

I know you probably don't think so but some of us need to read things like this ....so we can see that "we" are all in the same boat regardless to what we are doing ...we all struggle...
crazy thing I have an addiction to lemon cough drops....I can never eat just one..2-5 at a time...I try to control this by not having them...sometimes I give in...
