Topic: Another day
I had a depressing day, and instantly thought what comfort food would make me feel better & then I realized, I am watching food closely, so although it was late, I went out to spouse up my little garden. A great stress reliever, to get my mind off of job searching!! I had a mallet to bang some edging down with so that helped too, all my frustrations of the world, on my shoulders.
Pursing a new job, and waiting to hear back is like watching paint dry!! I would love the opportunity if just simply given the chance?
Good news, I didn't eat over it, but thought about it mindfully, and did NOT go there, only to feel even worse later?
Did I move2lose today? Yes, a nice walk. Trying to build up my strength and endurance to more. I've been walking for almost 3 wks. now. Perhaps next wk. is my time to step it up a bit?
Hit my treadmill?
B-1 hashbrown/& water
L-Veggie omelette
S-? none really Gatorade low calorie of course.
D-Other half of cobb salad & Squash & zucchini mixed
S-H2O I so need to get more water in !

Sounds like you are doing well.  I too need to move more.  I guess we all do.  Night time eating is hard for me to resist too.  Let me know what works for you.  Take care, Tri

I clean and garden.  It burns 240 calories per hour.  I usually clean 3 hours a day to keep the house presentable.  Tri

Topic: RE: Redefining Self Image

Wow I hear you and feel your pain!   I know gaining the weight and having to accommodate more skin and fat and a different sense of balance is daunting.  But...we are here now.  Whether we have a good or bad day/week we're here for each other.  Everyday I wake up with such good hopes I'll make the right decisions.  More often than not I don't but we can't let those times defeat us!!!!! 

Hang in there.  Let's get excited about getting healthy, fitting back into our old clothes...and buying cute new things!!!!!  It is such a joy.   You'll be posting your pics in no time.  I always say...time has to pass anyway.  Let's make the most of it.

I thought I was the only one!! OH my goodness!!!
I feel huge now, & I can't stand to see my reflection right now.
And now I feel even more bloated with( EVE) my monthly friend visiting me this week, sorry TMI.
I can't stand to see my stomach bulging in anything, so I try to wear lose fitting tops somewhat, I weigh more now, then when I was preggers 6 yrs. ago. I have a really horrible self image right now!
You think.
I can't wait to start liking my body in the mirror again one day soon I Pray. What does help; is I look at my old "big pics" & I know I am not that big, but I feel like it with all this regain, physically & emotionally. I can't wait until these horrible feelings are gone! & to post some newer pics after my 1st 30lbs. or so comes off & posting a pick of me at my new goal too.
Thanks-jbug

Food plans sound delicious
What type of exercise are you doing?
I am all over Moving2Lose! Hopefully forever.
I think I may share my food plan, & my Movement plan 2.
For now it's only brisk walking, but soon I would like to add in some STEP aerobics, bike riding, jogging on my tread mill, & Water jogging too I've been thinking about.
I wish I had enough energy to MOVE twice a day, but I can barely handle once a day right now. I only have roughly 4wks of summer vacation left? and then it's back to school & maybe sooner for me, if I get a promotion. No matter what, stress, & life passing me by, I have to keep moving!
Chat soon- Jbug.
