yummmm. would LOVE some escarole!!! thank you!!!

and sooner... i'm not perfect, and i admit it.. HONEST!!! i've been having my own struggles with that big jug of pretzels one of my colleagues stores in her office. two handsful a day!!!! in my heart, i know it's not the worst thing, but i'm getting into the habit of stress snacking at work, and i've gotta stop it.

at least i'm exercising.. hiking an hour and 1-1/2to 2 hours of weights 3-4 days a week. plus an extra walkwith the dog when i can fit it in.

but remember.. i'm 2 years out.. not 4 months like peachie keen!!

dear st bob...

i KNOW i'm cruising for trouble.. trying to balance what the dieticians says [eat more carbs!!!] with the protein and exercise. it's harder than it sounds!!!

but i'm AWARE of it, not thinking that i could possibly be the only person in this world who doesn't have to watch or follow the rules.

now i have to DO something about it... i'll let you know what i come up with....

and that strained yoghurt stuff? dad used to make it and used it for all kinds of things: like mixing with peanut butter, or instead of cream cheese or like sour cream for making dips and things. it's really good!!! i'd completely forgotten about it, and peachie and i liked it!

hmmmmm. oh PEACHIE?????? wanna make some???? i'll share!!!!

jiff...i hope i didn't offend you!

and when it comes to NOT being perfect, i think i probably deserve first prize in that department. these last few weeks i've been way out of control -- if there's such a thing as sugar blindness, you can bet your bippy i could have used a cane and dark glasses

this thread, along w/some help from a friend, has really helped to get me back into reality about the fact that a healthy weight and lifestyle will always involve vigilence regarding food and exercise -- but i guess that's true for most people.

thanks again, BOB, for the fluffy kick butting!

later,
sooner

Sooner....welcome to my nightmare...glad it is helpful!!!!

Pasta....as in pasta fagoli? It was little pasta. Mostly beans. Ok, I'll give the rest away....Ya know BOB you may be good for me after all. Love the yogurt thing. I'll try to get to the store tomorrow. Jiff? do I have any cocoa?

ROFL

i think i gave you a container of ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa.

my goodness, you're full of carbs!!!!

more later...

Sooner,
Where exactly, on your person, is this "sweet bippie" you're betting? And, does it involve lights?

Chick-a-boom-boom-dee

WHATS GOING ON ?

Geesh I turn my back for a few minutes and LOOK!

Peach you better do what your told because I REALLY know where you live. Your nighmare isn't as far as you think. Right Jiff ??

Come on girlie, get healthy now

And besides, if your dipping into that Raspberry Chocolate Cake with out me, there WILL be heck to pay.

Now drop on the floor and give me 25!!!

Leens, sweetie...I haven't had a piece of that chocolate rasberry cake since I was with you.

Maybe we're due?

you want me to drop and give you 25?




um....Chickadee? do you know where Debkay is? It IS MONDAY!

peach

Its amazing how that cake stayed with me... no seriously.... its still attached to my hips LOL

hmmmm. when peachie brought this up when we talked over the weekend, all i thought about was lobster. the cake didn't cross my mind!!! no .... REALLY!!! IT WAS LOBSTER!!!!

I said YOU can bet YOUR bippy -- I can't find mine -- though I look for it every now and then. It seems like it was somewhere between my bippanium and my bippotomus...

And, no, it has nothing to do with lights. Sigh. I'm taking those down today. It's a rotten shame, but it's not nearly as much fun leaving them up when I don't have you nagging me every other day.

I'm thinking you're getting pretty close to surgery? How you holding up?

I never think of food food, I'm always thinking of FOOD FOOD, like chocolate everything....

Excuse me but could some one here please help me. I'm new here and well I just can't figure out why I can't lose weight eating 5 lbs of chocolate day, and that just my snacks, my meals consist of 8 lbs of chocolate.

Any idea's, it would be most helpful if you could analyze this for me.

Thanks a whole bunch.

Love, Mrs. Hershey
