Hang in there, Sunshine! You know how to do this, and you've come to terms with your temporary lapse, so let's get to it! Good luck!

At the risk of getting the song stuck in my head "Just put one foot in front of the other"

too late...it's stuck already....

Welcome back, Sunshine!!

Chick - Thank you very much for sticking that song in my head!!!!

Sunshine!!! Your back!

I know you'll get your groove back. 2008 is going to be a VERY successful year for all of us!!!

Hi ne - I remember your posts pre-christmas self pity is a dangerous thing... and so hard to turn off when 'dwelling' on something. I wish I could give you the switch to turn it off and stop the emotional eating.... I dont know if I'll ever snap out of it completly... but dont set yourself up for failure k?

Exchange the junk and snacks with subway, lean cuisines and 'junk food' that isnt as bad (skinny cows, 100 cal cookies). That way when the crappy feelings come.. atleast you're falling back on stuff that isnt hurting your body . (atleast that's what worked for me). Even if you dont work out... the bad food choices can be stopped -- sometimes it's just not possible to regularly hit the gym.

thanks ladies,
feeling like a sausage, yes, planning on staying like a sausage, no!

I'm currently enjoying some lovely steamed broccoli and cauliflower as my early evening, still at work, pre-commute and gym snack. I had to have lunch out today but it wasn't so bad. I opted for the spicy black bean veggie burger. I'm usually not a veggie burger kind of girl but it was actually really good, i held all the sauces and just used the lettuce & tomato and a bit of ketchup (I'm a bit of a ketchup freak) there were fries with it and I did have a few but came no where near finishing them, and I didn't finish the burger either. No soda, no alcohol, just water....I've been sucking back water like someone stuck in a desert!
I'm right on plan, one day down many more to go.
get these pants loose again!

Sounds great! Now all you/we have to do is pile these good days on top of each other for a looong time...and voila!

For you!!!


Linda
