What Jennelle said. ;)

And of course, a personal note.

It's almost summer here in Wisconsin, which means cookouts! Featuring: grilled bratwurst, beer, frozen custard, potato salad, macaroni salad, etc. and Packers pre-season tailgating. (only 4 months away!) I know it's tough, but all you can do is keep trying. Make the best choices possible. And remember we love ya, we all know where you've been b/c we've been there before ourselves & would never think to judge ya. *hugs*

Hi Dana

Can't add a lot to all that good advice and support......but, just a thought, that you've already made that first step by coming back here and posting....and that's a really great first step!
So like all the good ladies say, baby steps, one thing at a time, and you will get there......

awwww guys.. you ROCK!

I think realistic goals is going to be the focus. Sometimes it seems like you gals have really got your sh*t together. I'm going to try one thing just this week - no more regular soda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and make my lunch every day. (may not always be the best - but it's better then fast food in the cafe here at work)

Thanks guys!!! you can't begin to imagine what this all meant to me!!!

Baby steps.. :) that has been my fav saying for so long.. too bad I don't remember my own advice. "what about bob?"

Dana

Ditto to everything that's been said. You CAN and WILL do it!

Dana,

Big hugs!!!! Working full time with a child is a huge change. You will get back on track and do great! We're all here to support you. I think bringing a healthy lunch is a fantastic start. I do much better when I bring food from home-then I know how many calories I'm eating. The cafeteria is too tempting for me-they always have a tray of delicious cookies right by the register...hey, I'm eating a sandwich/chips anyway, what's one cookie? or two? I gained a lot of weight that way.

hugs,
sherry
