After losing so much weight, I was tired of wearing the baggie stuff so I bought some transitional clothing that fits.
The other day I felt like just slouching around and found an old pair of my “big” jeans. Slipped them on and went comfy for the day.
You know what it did for me? Reminded me [...]

I learned a long time ago that if I drink coffee after noon, I will be up half the night. So I don’t do caffeinated diet beverages either.
This past year I have gotten almost completely away from diet soda opting for water instead.
But this past couple weeks I was craving something fizzy. I discovered Sprite [...]

NO Cardboard Here!!
I normally try to stay away from promoting certain brands. I just cannot keep quiet about this pasta I found. It doesn’t taste like cardboard. It tastes like regular pasta. Even my son who won’t touch anything high fiber can’t tell the difference. I found it on line first. Then I was able [...]

I have a tendency to overeat. Duh!! Anyway I found that adding a cup of berries to my serving of cereal in the morning is great!

I switch it up for variety, [...]

I want to thank everyone for the encouragement you have given me in my times of struggle. Everyone is so supportive.
Most of the time real life friends and relatives try to understand what we are going through. But it doesn’t mean as much and support from others who are battling the same demons.
With warm weather [...]

I just about quit the Weight Watchers plan. I was never going to the meetings. I convinced myself that I was going to stop because I was on this plateau.
I mulled that over for a couple weeks. I realized that was just another cop out. Just me trying to go back to my old patterns. [...]

We all remember when we were kids and the Stone Soup story I am sure.
I guess I have turned into a Stone Soup kind of gal.
On Saturday mornings for the past several months it is a ritual to make soup.
I find every veggie I have in the house and toss it in. Some weeks turn [...]

I figured my vacation to visit my mother this last couple weeks was going to throw my eating into a tailspin.
It actually got me jump started again. I lost nine pounds in two weeks. Her husband is from California and cooks everything low fat. I think that helped a lot.
I am back and forging ahead. [...]

I fell off the wagon over the holidays. I am not sure what happened. I had all these good intentions. But there were cookies, cakes, and pies all over the place on the holidays. I guess I got it in my head that I had been a good girl for over a year and what [...]
