Here is a suggestion put forth by my WW leader, which I REALLY like. On a bunch of small scraps of paper, write down activities you can do when you're stressed. Anything you feel is relaxing/therapeutic. Lay on the floor in a quiet room. Listen to relaxing music. Take a bath. Go for a walk. Exercise. Knit. Read. Anything you think you could actually use to divert yourself, to give you a minute to re-figure your priorities (which do not lay in the bottom of a bag of chips). Put these pieces of paper in a bowl and keep it around for when you need to divert yourself. It's like a game :)

Now as a true stress eater...I really appreciate that advice. When I get stressed I can't think of the things I need to be doing. All I can think about is carbing out! It would be good to have productive ideas written out and ready to grab instead of the chips!

He ended up letting me go a few months after that, he knew I didn't want to be there so he was all to happy to replace me. It all worked out tho. I really did NOT want to be there!

Oh MY! That is like the nightmare of career changes! You are stronger than me...don't know if I could have asked my old boss to keep my job since I probably would have told him all the things I REALLY wanted to say over the years, when I gave my notice! hehehe

My husband prefers a round butt also. He obviously cares most of all that I get healthy...but has mourned the butt shrinking going on.:dizzy:

HaHa...I have the hardest time picturing you as overweight. You look so slim in your picture...

I'm off to run in the beautiful fall sunshine! Hoping for more running today and less walking now that I'm sleep fortified. I've gotta be out there every last second! :running:

Sleep is a wonderful thing! Glad it finally happened for you! Seems like runners enjoy excersise the most...wish I could run...but alas...the bum knee. Enjoy the run!

I don't remember who all had butt comments but I have to share one I got this weekend. I was visiting friends I hadn't seen since May and one of the guys whom I've always flirted with said - "you're looking good but man I'm going to miss those hips". I thanked him and said I'd mail him an old picture because they were NOT coming back :D

Wow! That had to be an ego boost eh?

Well the bad news is that I had a mini-binge last night. The good news is I stopped, thought, and shut my mouth before it got totally out of hand. My stress levels have been through the roof lately, so I'm pretty proud that I was able to stop and reassess. Today is a new, better day, and I have a plan to try to keep myself in line for the rest of the week.

From one stress eater to another...I'm impressed! I think it takes more will power to stop in the middle of a binge than to not do it at all! And a very useful skill to master! Congratulations!

I found myself at the Wal-Mart, hungry, and I walked right by the McDonald's, temptation trying to turn my head (nice alliteration). But I went home and had a chocolate muffin. Sure, I could have chosen something better than that, but that was better than the McD's.

You are right. The muffin was the better choice. Getting in the habit of making the best choice is half the battle! Keep working it...Next time you might suprise yourself by picking an apple over the muffin!

Hello everyone! I have a question for you all, does anyone use Wii fit?
|
I love my wii fit! lots of different options so you don't get bored doing the same routine every day. I like the yogo, hula hoop, tight rope, boxing, step class, soccer, and strength training. I do one or 2 activities each time and try to keep increasin my time. As far as extras...I would recomend that you get the siicone cover for easier cleaning and if you have hardwood floors...the yoga mat helps.

When I was doing my best after losing 60 lbs down from 350ish(highest weight before this time) to around 290, I was doing 30 mins a day treadmill, and some days an hour hip-hop and others water aerobics. On Saturdays I would do a kickboxing class that would kick my butt. Shocking as it was, I was loving it till I over did it in a pilates class and hurt my back. I hope to get back to that healthy feeling again soon so I will crave the exercise and not HATE it like I do now.
|
Me too! I keep waiting for that excersise craving to kick in...so far it is a battle with myself every day!
Well...that is attempt #2 at multi quoting. Hope I got it right this time! Thanks again for all the support ladies and gentleman...Do we really only have one man among us?
