Thanks Dana, that is what I was saying above. I am not getting laid off. That is what I found out last night. Thanks for the support.

Howie! Great news about your job!!! And congrats about being back on plan!!! WOO HOO!! If there is anyone who knows how hard all this is, it's me. If you don't mind, I'd like to break in on you and Anagram and hold hands too. It's still meal by meal over here by me.

Congrat's on both the job and the day on plan, Howie! Good job.

You are more than welcome to join hands Sandi. I don't think I could keep going without the support I get here.

ooooops! I misread that for some reason. Sorry!

And congrats

Howie, I've been away from my plan for a few days, and havnt really read all the posts, so I didnt know about your struggling. I cant say it any better than everyone else already has, so I'll just say how proud I am of you for getting back on plan today! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congrats!

See its much easier if you just take it one day at a time...

back to the one day at a time. I did not do to good yesterday. I called Kimberley for strength and she was feeling week also. So we both ended up eating. Oh well that is behind me. Today is a new day and I am back on track.

Howie, congrats for sticking to it and great news about your job. You've lost so much already from your heightest weight, you have to feel great about that.

You know, the day to day was what always killed me before too. I'd eat bad one day or sometimes even one meal and I'd say to myself, "I suck. I might as well give up" and that would be that. This time around I have a totally different outlook. Last week was honestly the only week I ate anything or any portions that I shouldn't have since 1/12/04, when I started and even then I said it's just a meal or two. Why would I blow everything I've worked for over a few lousy extra fat grams? Where this new clarity came from, I'm not sure but it sure is working for me! Having the stories here and people to talk to about this that are in the same situation and equally overweight as I am is a HUGE help too.

Keep it up. You're doing great and you'll be to your next goal in no time.

Hey howie... How you doing bud? I am so glad your back! We've missed ya for sure! I hope all is going well for you! I want you to reach that goal and I KNOW you are going to do it!! Getting excited for October!!! I can't wait to meet you guys! I am glad you did not get laid off! That is great news!!
