Diet Coaches/Buddies – Back on track with eating, CREDIT moi. Just didn't wander about snacking on anything. Which is a big deal since I spent some of my day at an auto dealership in the presence of a car salesman. He drove me crazy, e.g. "This car might not be here later if you don't buy it right now." Fortunately, my DW calmly replied, "But others will be," LOL. I didn't eat about it.
Exercise was my physical therapy exercises plus a lot of general going about. We saw
Pippin last night in a local production marking its 40th anniversary since it hit Broadway - scheduled to return to Broadway in the spring. It's brouhaha big time: acrobatics, trapeze artists, juggling, singing, dancing, small orchestra. Pippin is presented as the oldest son of Constantine the Great. But I doubt that. And I doubt that today is really International Skeptics Day.
onebyone – Sounds like time to
"persist in victory--guard your accomplishments" You can produce art while
"mad at the world." And, as you pointed out, you can stay your plan also. Perhaps if you reduce your to-do list to a single item, you can succeed and then relish the victory.
Debbie (Lexxiss) – Interesting - I've still memorized the phone number of the local pizza place from when the kids were little and sometimes that was the way out of a disaster. Kudos for recognizing that you're not in a disaster and can choose not to order pizza.
Beverlyjoy – Good grief, you were able to resist a cookie delivered by cutiepie sisters. You're one strong woman; Kudos.
maryann - Waving back toward California. Kudos for moderation in airports - the ultimate generator of tension. Congrats to your 49ers last night. On to the title game you are.
Ann (Newlifestyle) - Kudos for dealing with grief by whatever style happens in your life. There isn't a right way, and we don't get to do it privately hiding in our basement. I so identify with the desire to use the dog poop to make a point; I'm not good responding to clueless.
BigchiefDavid – Yep, that's past and time for back on track. No doubt that wives' business trips are designed to make us guys grateful.
nationalparker – Happy anniversary. Sounds fun to split date night into two evenings. Hope your concert was entertaining.
Beth (bethFromDayton) – Kudos for your day's successes. One of the ways to deal with the juggling forced by real life is to have alternative plans in our pocket. Plans are possible for commonly frequented restaurants and a generic plan is useful for that which can't be foreseen. Sounds like you're doing a good job with that.
IBelieveInMe2 – Big Kudos for counting pistachios. The first time I read a diet menu that read "27 almonds" I went bonkers, as in Who counts nuts? Well, now I do before I serve myself. When I don't, the portion grows a little larger each event.
Julia (Julia150) – Sending supportive thoughts for the very recent loss of your father. Seems wise that you understand that healing will take time.
Interesting observation that professional credibility can be influenced by weight. Thanks for sharing your Advantages. I love the image of a car at a gas station - time to get back on the road. Glad you've joined us.

What Really Makes You Eat
From Trigger to Eating..........Just as the decision to eat
can reduce tension, the decision not to eat
..........can also reduce tension.
