Today and the rest of this week and month, I am going to really work on not eating for 3 to 4 hours.  I ate breakfast at 9, so nothing in mouth other than water until noon minimum and 1 the latest. 

I have to stop the grazing.  So that will be my next project.  To stop grazing.  I know this is sabotaging me, so I have to get it under control ASAP.  I am not aiming for perfection but I need to manage this better.  

What have you done to stop grazing if you have had this issue?  Any tips and suggestions welcomed.  Thanks again for your continued support.

Molly I am SO PROUD of you!! You faced what seemed an impossible thing...regain.  You faced it straight on and you made it what it should be.  Something entirely DOABLE.  You are such a wonderful contributor here and I appreciate each and every post.

I want to build this group and make it all that it should be so I'm working on some things.  I just want to tell you again how much I appreciate your participation.  I believe that we "glow" when we are feeling good and I think that's what your friend picked up on.  We start to feel good about ourselves and it shows.  Keep those NSV's coming girlfriend!

Kathy I have a similar story. I had a 60 pound 21 inch monitor that died sometime between me being fat and thin.  I picked up that monitor and moved it at least 2 or 3 times because I was so protective of it and didn't want anyone to break it.  When it finally died I went to pick it up and move it and I nearly killed myself.  I could NOT pick it up.  I was shocked....I picked it up at 260 pounds and couldn't when I weighed half that.  It did not make sense to me at all.  I was in total disbelief because I did it before!  Nothing in my mind prepared me for not picking it up.  It made absolutely no sense to me and it still doesn't. Why was I able to pick it up at my largest and could not anymore? I have no idea.  It's strange when you KNOW you can do something and you can't.  It is indeed a wonderful lesson.  I can't stress enough about not forgetting the little things...wanting to tie your shoes etc.  It's when we forget to be grateful for those things that we get in trouble.

Oh, Yvonne - I know just what you mean.  I went camping the other day at a campsite that doesn't have water, so I had to haul my own.  I have a drinksafe container that holds 7.5 gallons.  A gallon weighs 8.35 pounds, so my container, after I filled it, weighed around 60 pounds, and I had to carry it to my pickup!  I had to stop and rest - and 60 pounds is less than half of what I was carrying around 15 months ago!  I've lost 144 pounds - Man!  you'd think that obese people would be fit, just from hauling all that with them everywhere, but I'm fitter now than I've ever been in my life - and it's great!  The whole time I was carrying that container out from the house, I was thinking - remember this, Kathy!  Remember! Remember!

Just wanted to share something I posted on my blog today about Goal Setting.  After you read it maybe you will share with us what your goal/goals may be short or long term!
