ruthie74: Thank you for sharing your sweet story with all of us here at C.C. Ruthie, yes we do have so many things to count our blessing for. Your story has touched me personally. I'm sure it has touched many others just as much! ((SMILES)) It's so inspiring & refreshing to hear from those that are so lucky to have loving families that try hard to be considerate and supportive. Oh how I wish everyone had families just like yours! (Just like mine!) I'm hoping that those individuals that do not have this same support come here to C.C. and find that needed understanding, support and comfort, here with people they soon can call their new friends. This web site, its many features and its many informative friendly members are all helpful tools toward each one of our own success. In here, we all know or soon learn those difinitions of self-control, dieting, trying to change our old eating habits and building a new healthier lifestyle. Those of us that do have our families and/or friends that support us in our daily life are indeed truly blessed. It is most certainly something "else" to say another prayer of thanks about Ruthie. I hope you and your family have a wonderful turkey day! "Happy Thanksgiving Day to everyone!" ~Angel~

"Soon it will be Christmas & lots of FUN & lots of FOOD!" We can learn so much from other! Please everyone come on in and let everyone here at C.C. hear your personal stories that only you can tell. Those same stories that you share with all of us could very well help someone. Tell us about the things you have learned from first hand experience. Have you discovered a more simplified way to deal with food and dieting? How about that hard job of resisting all those temptations that are coming up with the holidays approaching soon? I love the holidays and all those family get togethers! It means a lot to finally see a few extra faces in the crowd of my family members that come to town only at Christmas time. How we all miss each other so much all year long! I can't wait to have them arrive and join us all in the fun and festivities. Yes, I think Christmas is my favorite holiday of the entire year for sure. But the holidays do bring on some hard to resist temtations. With lots of holiday eating and the wonderful fun get togethers, I find myself always facing my biggest challenge of the year! It's been decided that Christmas time is the time of the year when most people gain extra weight, including the people that do not have a weight problem. The average weight gain for the holiday season is in the range of 4-7 pounds. That is frightening to me ... how about you? I don't need another 4 pounds much less another (maybe) 7 pounds! I sure hope that everyone will be joining us right here at C.C. as often as daily throughout this holiday season! When at all possible! We all need to stay closely in touch and get from each other as much support as we can. Stay closely in touch with all your friends here at C.C. and share those weak times here with all of us. We are all trying to achieve the same goals, so we all understand what you are going through when things get tough and you could crash a full week of hard dieting for one "huge eating attact." It is so not worth it! Try hard and with help from us here on C.C. maybe you and I can get through his holiday with no weight gain or as little as one pound! Not a pound more, if that! Please lets all join together and help one another throughout the Christmas holiday season and make this Christmas a very merry one for us all. Blessings, ~Angel~

To united2gether: Jules & (everyone else!) Leo Buscaglia: I love all his powerful writings! Thank you for this super nice post. Oh how you make me smile...so my words "rock!" Lol...laughing out loud! Hey now, this is a nice thing to know! I do hope I can reach out and touch as many people here at C.C. as possible. My dream is to touch every person in a positive way and help them somehow to achieve their personal dreams. By being here at C.C....we all are trying to find sensible solutions and a new lifestyle. One that we can live with forever. We all try hard in here to loose that extra weight. Then we hope to move on to that next step and try to continue to control our weight for always. It's very difficult and each one of us could use a hand to hold and a few words of encouragement to help us continue this sometimes loney task. We all need as much motivation and spiritual help as we can get. If I can help others with my articles and posts, it makes me happy and also helps me on my mission to control my own weaknesses. One of them being over weight and trying to take some of this baggage off before it effects my health. I do hope I can make some difference here on C.C. and help others along their way to a happier and better lifestlye. My most wonderful wish is to gain the respect and friendships of others here on C.C. Just to help as many as I can and even make new friends by doing it. This place is great! Here we are all one big team helping one another become even better than we already are, thanks to this second home of ours here at C.C. The best of wishes for a "good day" to all my friends & future friends to be! ~Angel~

A note for you united2gether: united2gether (jules) I want to say this: You my friend have also managed to inspired me to stick with this on going tuff promise I've made to myself... to loose at least most of this extra weight and get healthier. Satisfy both myself and my caring family doctor to be perfectly frank. I enjoy reading all of your posts Jules. As I read your statements, thoughts and tips that you give to really all of us here at CC. I discover yet more useful ideas. Many times it seems these new ideas are reflecting my own feelings and thoughts and I find them there within your every word. Thank you for posting your helpful messages, you are helping not only me, but so many others here on CC. You're great and I appreciate any input that you offer to me or to our other friends here at CC. I can only hope I help you even half as much Jules. {{{HUGS}}} ~Angel~

I have had a lot of awful bad days lately. So I have done a lot of serious hard thinking and have come up with a very likely cause in why I have had so many bad days in my many attempts to diet and loose weight. I have come to this conclusion, I am in all reality and totally unconscious to myself in fact a victim of serious emotional eating. I call it "Emotional Eating Syndrome" and it's a very real thing to many of us that are trying so hard to loose weight and yet keep on failing over and over again. I have asked myself these questions so many times in my constant adult dieting lifestlye; "why do I keep failing, why do I do this to myself over & over again, if I really wanted to loose this weight I would simply not eat that much, until I was successful." I have lost weight, but always gained it back sooner or later and this has been an on going pattern with me too. Each time I would loose the weight and start to feel nice and comfortable once again in my clothing, then it seemed eventually I would see the weight start to pack on again. Then I would try hard to get in control again before it was too far out of control and then I would be fighting the same battle again. But some how even with all my constant attempts, it happened all over again! I was back to feeling like a complete failure and again I was uncomfortable in all my clothing. Even embarrassed with my own self! Yes, I felt like a failure and I had a harder time loosing it the next time and the next. By now I think many of us have heard about people with this same storyline, right? I truthfully believe many of us that fail like this over and over again are victims of Emotional Eating Syndrome. We do try very hard and we do stay within our diet programs most of the time, but we also find ourselves going off our diets, just as everyone does once in a while. But when it comes to the many individuals with E.E.S we do this way too much and way too often. I find it is an unconscious emotional reaction to the many stressful things we all have in our daily lives. Some of us handle these things in a better way or maybe perhaps differently than others. It doesn't mean that person is any stronger than you or myself, it mean they are just "different" and each one of us have our own way to cope with our daily moods and stress. Our own ways may perhaps even be an "unconscious" way of dealing with stress and troubles. I have (at last) discovered that as far as myself...I am dealing with my moods and stress at meal time. I use the great taste in good foods to deal with my stress and moodiness. No this isn't a cop out! I feel once we do learn where we stand with our over eating frenzies or our meal eating habits, we can then conquer these down falls with constructive vigor. Finding better ways that help us all deal with those common moods, worries and stress that we really all experience is the answer to any of us that have E.E.S. We are all seeking useful answers in order to help us to stay on the program and to loose weight. So therefore, we will be improving our quality of life, as it will help us all move on to our realistic dreams of success. Finding ways to handle these issues is vital in being successful there is no question about it! First of all you do need to determine if you are an emotional eater? If you are please read into your moods and your feelings, before you sit in front of your meals. Collect your thoughts and try to set them aside, if just for now. You should never eat when you are upset or sad. Remember to always ask yourself this one question everytime you want to eat; "Are you really hungry right now?" If you answer yourself honestly, you should do fine at the table or before you give into your next snack. Read my article entitled "Falling Off Track, Toughening Up & Moving On," it's also found on my profile page and in my personal journal. "It will always help you to know what your exact mood is at the time you choose to eat...remember this always!" It will help you get through another day successfully on your diet. Best of luck for another good day! ~Angel~

Hello Lilbittt! Welcome to this friendly, helpful and inspiring web site. I am here to be your friend and I hope you find many new and kind friends right here like I did. We are all here with the same goals and problems. I hope you find this a helpful and fun place to be and come in here often to let us all know how you are and how your diet is coming along? Questions and answers about food and its nutritional values are also found here on this web site. (That is what brought me here for the very first time.) You will have a handy food log to help you each day plan and monitor your meals. It does help too! You have your own personal profile to help us all get to know one another better. There too, you will find a journal to start if you wish. Write notes about your personal thoughts, feelings, hints & ideas as you proceed on this new mission to loose weight. You have the choice to make your journal open to the public or private. I like to write notes to myself & things to help motivate me toward my goal. On my down days, I need this so badly! Good luck Lilbittt and welcome again to this wonderful friendly place Calorie-count.com Smiles to you! ~Angel~
