Good Morning,

Cathy, thanks for the heads up on the weight smart vitamins, I got a box today...........here goes !!

Nothing much to say today, gonna run to Macy's at lunch to get a new toaster, ours is kaput. I have a 15% coupon

Its sunny and beautiful out, I really do think spring is here, and if its not, its a MEAN MEAN JOKE!!!!

How's everyone, I notices not to many folks are coming out to play lately........y'all okay ?

I went to bed last night.........drum roll please............... 7:30 pm... yup, I'm just so tired anymore. Maybe the vitamins will give me some energy.

I don't know what I'm going to do girls. This diet/change in eating isn't working. I'm not snacking at night (lent challenge) but I can not seem to control myself at dinner. I just go bezerk. AND it doesn't seem to matter what I eat during the day. I can eat huge breakfast, followed by a nice hardy fattening lunch....and bam... dinner I still can't control. Or I can eat lightly during the day, several small meals, and still dinner's got me by the throat (so to speak). SIGH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay thats enuf of me whining.

Have a great day !!

Love, Leenie

Hi Lizzy ! yah snuck up on me.
Tip thanks for starting the thread today !

Hi ladies, I've been lurking once in a while and just wanted to mention to Leens, I had that same problem with my dinner, Now I drink a very big glass of water before dinner and it seems to fill my stomach up quite a bit or if you need something warm how about a hot chocolate?

Have a good day ladies!

Good Morning gang!

Tippy, I hope you are feeling better today! Sure hope I didn't give you that stomach bug thru the internet. hehe

Leenie, let me know how those vitamins work for you. I had forgotten that years ago when I tried to take One A Day vitamins that I always had a hard time keeping them down. For some reason, if I take them with breakfast, I get really nauseated and they come right back up, but if I take them with lunch I seem to be ok. Let me know if you have the same problem - sometimes I have such a delicate little tummy. ;-)

Liz - I just got to watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding last week too. It was good.

Autumn - water before supper sounds like a great idea. Also a great big salad, or some low cal soup, any of those things help fill me up. The problem is I don't always eat because I'm hungry - I know yall know what I mean. But I try to have those things, water, salad, soup, when I know that I am not truly hungry but just wanting something.

Where is Linda and Sweetpea and Cin (ww meetings today) and the rest of the gang?

What's everybody up to today?

Oh wait - I wanted to tell yall ...... I am so proud of myself....yesterday when I got home and started supper I put on my tennis shoes and popped in a video and did a 2 mile walk at 6 pm. Just felt like I needed to get it in no matter what. Then this morning I was up at 5:00 getting in another 2 mile walk before getting ready for work. *patting myself on the back* hehe

I hope everybody has a great day!

hugs,
Cathy

Hi ...am back again!

I was doing a bit of cleaning in the kitchen. Now, I got a message that another of our elderly from ur church has pased away. That's two in a very short time! Well, god's will, I guess.
Noting but catching up on the chores I didn't do yesterday is what I have planned. Maybe I'll do some baking....don't know yet.
See you all later then.......

Been thinking about what you said, Leenie regarding over eating at the evening meal.

Please remember that by the time you get home, you're tired and stressed out from your job, being a mother, daughter and wife. Your blood sugar is probably low and you're hungry!

Try hard to take a deep breath before you start eating and look at the food before putting it in your mouth. Try to relax while you eat. I know...I know, that's hard. You got bambino, a DH and everything else to think about. But try!

Cathy, the vitamins seem to be okay so far, no regurging yet lol.

Tip, I don't know what happens to me when I get home, I swear I get tunnel vision and nothing else seems to matter. I've even said to myself okay pray before you eat, but that doesn't work because I forget to pray and I head for that second helping of what ever, and get this, the entire time I am eating, I am justifying it to myself.

Whats wrong with me ?

I know I got stress, but crap, we all have to deal w/life, I've been under worse and have been able to control myself.

I just don't want to stop eating....I really don't want to.

I looked at a picture of myself and saw how huge I got, my stomach is HUGE, dont' care what anyone says 80 lbs overweight is alot, and I don't wanna hear that I'm tall.....sigh. I don't wanna stop eating....whats it gonna take ?

okay theres my moan and groan for the day

Leenie - I don't know if it helps or not, but I totally understand what you are talking about - I imagine we all do.

I don't have any answers, but just wanted you to know that I relate.

Maybe the new One A Day Weight Smart vitamins will help curb your appetite in some way, but if you are like me, its not really about being hungry anyway.

hears a great big hug for ya girlie!
((((((((((( hugs )))))))))))
