I just read a blog post on Confessions of a Bulk Eater about an article on MSN linking early ear infection to obesity in adults. She makes the joke that she is *not* going to go out and eat pizza over this news.
We all know how that works! LOL And, we have probably [...]
Still on plan!
I’m learning - sometimes the hard way - how to plan the meals, what really works for me and also the *not so much.* What really works for me is no hungries, no cravings. i am getting hungry most meal times, though, and that is a very good sign.
When i get [...]

Believe me - I don’t feel bad. I’m still keyed up to be doing all this.
Today is reminding me not to look too long at the numbers, just stay focused on doing the plan. Doing the plan. Doing the plan.
Trust the process and do the plan. As long as I do the plan long enough [...]
=D I’m celebrating so many things I don’t know which to mention first.
=) When I got on the scale this morning and those sixes started flashing I didn’t know what was going on! LOL I weighed twice and both times it settled on 269.8. =) That means: the middle digit dropped! WOOHOO!
And that [...]

As soon as I realized what I’d done, I started the jumpstart over, knowing it was the [...]
I sneaked in a weigh this morning and it was 273.8, down 7.4 pounds. WooHoo! Of course, I’m not sure that it won’t bounce back a little as I am re-doing the jumpstart to detox again after getting into some aspartame last weekend. See more on that here: Cravings, Triggers, Resistance and [...]
When I finally started drinking soft drinks regularly they quickly became my nemesis. I gained weight and especially belly fat faster than at any other time.
Looking back, several times my food has been good and working for me. Then, I started feeling like I could slip in an occasional soft drink or so. Ha.
This seems [...]
Someone asked me this and I had been thinking about it anyway…
What I Avoid and Why
Alcohol, because it affects me like an alcoholic due to too many meds years ago.
Coffee, because I drank way too much, way too young, and became completely dependent on it. (Read: couldn’t think or move.) It messed me up.
Sweetened Ice [...]
