However, I do wonder, do you eat the whole kernal or do you eat each little bit, like I bite off the white, then the yellow, then the orange? Laughing

This is too funny! 

I'm a bit biter.  I don't know why, I just do it.   It's borderline compulsive.   I don't even know why I like candy corn.  I am after all a card carrying member of chocoholics anonymous.

<-----married a big guy.  He's comfy and that's what I like.   There are women who think their men need to be bigger than them.  I am 5'9" and when he and I started dating he made me feel like a petite flower....HAHAHAHA!  
We've been together so long now I think we look the same even though he is 6" taller and a lot heavier.   With time everything seems to change into sameness. 

I am glad I have him and he still rocks my world.

Interesting question.  Lately the little ones and I have been watching Phineas and Ferb.   I think deep down I am Perry the Platypus.    An enigmatic semi aquatic mammal of action!

 

 

That and I have the stupid look down.

It was the day before my son's first birthday.  I was watching the today show when the 2nd plane hit the tower.  I called my husband whose company builds flight control systems for Boeing and asked him why his planes were crashing into buildings.  His company was locked down within minutes.    That day at work was odd.  I was always trying to catch a snippet of news on the radio or online.  At 4 o'clock my husband called me frantic saying my son had fallen and cut his mouth.  I hurried home and he and I took a bloody mess of a kid to the Instacare.   He was fine with only a splinter in his gum.  We took the little dude to Toys R US and let him pick out whatever he wanted for his birthday present.   We were covered in blood but we had to do something fun to keep from being to sad for his birthday.

I understand completely how you are feeling.  Now you have to forgive yourself the decadent lunch and get right back on that horse.  Hard work and perseverence will pay off in the long run.  Jealousy is something I struggle with also.   I just have to forgive myself for feeling that way and look towards something positive.  You have a lot to offer and perhaps you can talk with your friend about something other than weight issues.  

 

Good luck to you.

Hi Krystal. 
I too live in Utah.  SO you are not alone here on CC.   This is such a great tool.  It helped me to understand portion size and how healthy food can be.  Once I started logging my food (and being Honest!) I really understood that the choices I make really do have an impact.  CC is a great visual for those of us who need it. And the moral support ROCKS!

Good luck on your journey!

My Molly is a pure yellow Labrador goat dog.  Yes Goat dog...you name she's eaten it.   Here is the short list...

Tin Cans, my cars bumper, the ignitor on the BBQ, the solar lights, tomatoes, grape vines, my daughters socks, my socks, my dad's socks (which almost killed her and my bank account), landscaping material, her house, straw and the list goes on... oh yes and I forgot Rocks!  Can you say MUZZLE?

 

Other than that...she's pretty normal and cute for a goat dog.

Congratulations on quitting Elisabeth.  It is the best thing for you.   I quit too 8 years ago.  I also gained weight but a lot more.  My doctor said it's easier to treat overweight health issues than smoking health issues.   It's hard because everything tastes so good, but I still crave a smoke every once in a while.   I used to eat a cookie when that would hit hard.  Now I just make sure I go to the gym and get my exercise and I remember trying to breathe before I quit.

Good luck in your journey!

Foods What can I make for breakfast? Jun 07 2009

My daily breakfast is 1 slice of Sara Lee Delightful Bread, 1/4 cup of egg beaters cooked for 1 minute in the microwave in a bowl and a tablespoon of salsa all mixed together in the bowl.  I also make a smoothie from 1/2 cup mixed frozen berries and 1/2 cup danon fit and light vanilla yougurt, ice and 1 cup of sprite zero.   The whole meal is less than 200 calories and will hold you for a few hours.   I end up drinking the smoothie in the car on my way to work!  It also only takes about 3 minutes to make the whole thing!
