Hi everyone
I had posted the other day--but, my AOL logged me off before it totally went through. I had spent a lot of time writting to everyone---so, this one is going to be quick.
Tami---I do the same thing you do. I sometimes feel like I am going to the principal's office. I jsut don't want to hear--you shouldn't have eaten this or that. I know I shouldn't have and don't feel like being "repremanded". ANyway, I really like the manager in my center. She is GREAT. Bela can vouch for that (she used to work there) There was one time I ACTUALLY wrote down what I ate at a party (it was BAD) the manager couldn't believe it!!!! I told her--look-I could have lied and then you wouldn't have said anything--I am only fooling myself. I used to write down BIG slad and one of the anorexic looking counselors (I'm serious) said--well, how big--make sure to measure---give me a break. It was the only veggie I had listed for the day--so, now I just write salad. In the beginning, when I wrote details, McDonalds salad with fat free dressing--a counselor told me--be careful with the FF dressings, there is a lot of sodium---well, let's see--I COULD have had a Double Cheeseburger and French Fries!!!!!!!!!
Just make sure you TRY to stay on track. You have to realize that you are human and we ALL make mistakes and if we were perfect, we would not have gotten the way we are. It is totally unrealistic to think we can NEVER have certain things. We know that eventually, we will have them. We all know how it is--if we deprive ourselves of something, sometimes afterwards, we eat something later that is actually worse than what we originally wanted.
Mom--have a GREAT time--you deserve it!!!!Glad to see you back!!!!!
Bela----great work!!!!!!! Did you know that the Scarsdale office is moving? Theyy moved this weekend--a little further up Central Ave--next to Funcraft (past A&P)
