Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I feel quite comfy here!
@Guttergirl: You are so right about taking care of ourselves first. I'm a RN as well, so it's just in my DNA to care for others...but I'm committed to taking care of me for a change! I'll definitely take your advice and come to the board when I'm stressed instead of reaching for food. Thanks for the well wishes for my family....we need and appreciate them!
@Pradaboy: Sorry to hear about your Dad. Cancer is a vile disease, but it can be managed, and even beat. I've been an oncology nurse for 14 years, so i've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thanks for sending your wishes of good luck! My son is my life and I know he'll be fine, but the road may get rough at times. My challenge will be to NOT pick up the food during those times! I pray your Dad is doing well.
@Mollymai: Thanks for the congrats on my weightloss. I hope I can bring in those numbers on a consistent basis.....but my fat is STUBBORN sometimes!!! LOL! I'm excited about trying the Wii. I ordered the EA Sports because it had good reviews and a 30 day challenge that people raved about and many of them reported losing anywhere betwee 8 to 15lbs in a month. I figure Wonderslim+Wii = Slim&Sexi Me!
@Jeanelld: I'm glad I can be a motivator to someone else because everyone on the board has really motivated me. Over the past month, I've read every single post....going back to the first page when Mollymai started the thread! I'm honored to pay it forward! We CAN do this!!!
@Harvester: Evening/late night snacking has always been my problem as well. I love sunflower seeds, so when I get that temptation to snack I will grab a few of those and crunching seeds seems to keep me from going for the junk food. I just use it as an added fat serving (although I'm really not alloted a fat serving on the 1200 calorie plan, but I figure the extra 45 calories aren't going to slow me down too much!).
Plus, it saves me from those late night binges of hundreds of extra calories by passing on the ice cream and cake and other sweet treats.
If I missed anyone, charge it to my mind and not to my heart. Good night my Wonderslim friends!
