SIT ON THE FLOOR!? Well  if I got down on the floor I wouldn't be able to get back up. That is one way to stop eating. :o)

I am still here! I have been at a (Boring) Training for the last three days and I am zapped out. The one day we stood out in the middle of a parking lot for 2 hours in 80 degrees. The second day they gave us a book and read to us word for word all day. and the last day was presentations all day on thing we all ready knew. Yippee!

Hello everyone

Do you remember Me? I have thought about you guys but just got discouraged.

It has been a long time. I decided I need to try to lose weight. I need to start again.

I now weigh more than I ever have. I need a cheerleader to help.

I didn't get eaten by the critter bear but I feel like I ate the critter bear!

OK so far I a have eaten A bowl of whole grain Cheerios and Whole milk,Two bites of leftover steak, and a can of mushrooms. Peanutbutter sandwich. Bar-b-que chicken, potatoe and Broccoli.

Welcome back Kansasgal. We miss you.

OK LETS MAKE A LIST! Copy and paste then add your suggestions.

1. keep a small jar of almonds handy that's a healthy snack.

2. put your before picture on the frig and a reminder why you are here.

3. Keep cold water with a little lemon made up and easy to grab.

4. When you feel a snack attack go curl your hair, take a shower anything to entertain yourself for 20-25 minutes if it's just a habit it will pass.

5. Drink green tea.

6. Clean a drawer or closet

7. Do some mending

8. Start a hobby

Welcome wellwoman. Glad to get to know you.

lilmskelly79- I look at small goals If I had to look at the WHOLE picture it is too overwhelming and I wouldn't even try to lose weight or change anything. Depressing!

Jessicarm-I do small steps too I can't change everything at once. If I only eat a healthy breakfast and do nothing else that is a improvement. I would love to go to Scotland.

I had pork country rib, Mashed potatoes and corn for supper. Oh and a salad. I almost forgot.

OK YOU WANT A CHALLENGE!!? I challenge YOU to post what you eat Each day for a week! ( Maybe we can get some ideas or help )

Donna I hope that your granddaughter finds out what is wrong. Wishing the best outcome for her.

Hi to all and welcome Christine. I too need to lose over 100 lbs. So hang in there and don't stop trying.

Lora

OH and I forgot

Today I have had 2 pieces of toast and two hard boiled eggs, and Dannon Light and fit nonfat yogurt.

A Ham sandwich with pickle and low cal dressing, A salad with lettuce cucumber and tomato

14 pretzels

Then we went for Chinese food

Yeah Penny! Yeah Alice! Cheers, cheers cheers!

Donna I am not doing too much of anything. Seems like I am just sitting around eating and cleaning. I worked on some new bus maps because we are combining some routes next year. Less kids in school, Less money, Getting new bigger buses. That's the story of that. I should start on a new quilt but haven't. I should be exercising and watching what I eat but I haven't. I am a very bad girl Donna.

Marie I don't know how in control I feel but I was happy not to gain. I have discovered that I prefer to eat healthy if the food is all prepared for you and you have a choice. Congratulations on the -45lbs. Were you able to scan the news letter in? 

Thanks Moonduster. Yes that is my DH as you can see he hasn't ever had a weight problem. ( But he is very understanding) Yes the picture was taken in Hawaii.

Penny What about doing a Angel food cake? I know there are some good recipes that have cool whip and fruit in layers between the angel food cake. Maybe try a sugar free cake. Many groceries offer them and they probably have fewer calories.

Hi everyone

I guess it is time for me to start posting again too. I am done with School. ( bear bus didn't eat me Donna) I am back from Hawaii. ( Had a wonderful two weeks) I have been to Niagara falls ( I suprised my DH and took him Memorial day weekend) Now I am sitting around the house for the summer. I was going to babysit my new grand baby but they think she is allergic to my cat so now I have no plans.

Believe it or not I actually lost weight on the cruise. 4 lbs! I am at 260 and holding. I am also one of those that need to get back to eating what I am suppose to. Also need to start exercising. I think that is why I lost weight on the cruise because we were always walking.

I love your pictures Moonduster too. I use to hike when I was young and healthy but now I live hiking through your pictures.

Lora

I am one of the lucky ones. We leave Sunday ( April 20th) on a cruise to Hawaii for two weeks. I can't hardly wait to get out of the cold!

Lorabear

See your doing good songchild! No food in a active volcano. When all else fails there is always duct tape lol!

Lorabear

Thanks pollockh. Yeah I know what you mean about kids going off into the wild blue yonder. I am lucky that mine live close but still miss them being here. It doesn't seem like all that long ago that they were little babies.

MSC-However did you poke yourself in the eye? Were you doing the tapping technique for emotional eating? Shouldn't your smiley look like this lol! I don't agree with the four steps of eat when your hungry, what your hungry for but stop when your full and eat slowly and consciously make sense. The show where you overcome your cravings by imagining your food covered with stuff works for me. yuck! I wonder if it would make me anorexic?

For anyone who hasn't seen it watch it the techniques are worth a try.

Hey Kathy where in Michigan do you live? I live in the Thumb.  I have two Sons ages 27 and 22 a husband and a cat too. I am also 5' 2" but I weight 260 lbs and am 53. Welcome.
