I get from a eating slump by telling my self it is over and just start fresh!

You cant undo what you have done you just have to walk away from it and start clean....

You can do it!

I am on the same boat as you..... so we can start fresh together!

Great Saturday Morning Everyone!

How is everyone? We seem to be getting quite....

This weeks has been crazy for me.... trying to get so much done because I start the actual real estate classes next Wednesday and trying to get that all done....

THen work has been a bummer.... trying so hard to be motivated and keep working but when You no longer want to be there.... no longer believe in what you are doing...you wonder why you are doing it???? oh yeah - I have bills to pay!

Havent been doing to well on the diet and exercise.... havent felt like I have had the time for it.... time management is a big problem of mine..... I am going to sit down tomorrow and make myself a schedule for the week.... I am really going to have to be deligent about this for awhile because I wont have time to spare really.

Beth- How is the house? Are they almost done on the garage? Do you have your life back yet?

Lavender- How are you doing? Have you had anymore incidence at the gym? How are you liking the Dr Phil Book and Forum?

I am in hot pursuit of happiness in all aspects of my life.... not just the weight, but with work and personal, etc..... Nothing like trying to tackle everything at once.

We will get a new thread in October..... YEAH!!!!

Rainbow- Your daughter is beautiful.... I love that dress. It was gorgeous. I am glad you have recovered.... tell hubby "Happy Birthday" from the fat chicks I am sorry to hear your daughter has the flu.... mine went through it last week.... came home from school on Wednesday and stayed home Thursday..... she is feeling better just has the sinus gunk now....

Anyway, I am off to study real estate... classes start Wednesday!

Just a quick Hi! Things are not back to normal here and I don't really want to get into it right now. But I am just not feeling myself these last couple of days. I am TOM this week and just feel yuck! So when I feel better and more like chatting I will be back! Until then hang in there and hope you all are well.

Beth

Beth- I hope everything gets better for you soon!

Just a quick note because I am on a time crunch!

My diet has been the pits.... stress is really getting me....

Had a bad dream Saturday that I got laid off this Tuesday.... which is the end of our physical year end. Woke up Sunday in a panic.... Cried alot in church and was stressed all day.... but last night I started realizing that if it happens it happens, me stressing out isnt going to change that. I also figure if I do then God is telling me to concentrate on the real estate and go that way.....

I feel better today (at least for now)!

Hope everyone else is doing Great!

Hi Everyone!

Hope all is well!

Been working through this Dr Phil book and I am actually having lots of light bulbs lighting up.... I am on the emotional stuff at this moment and am realizing all the things that I say to myself and how awful I truly am to myself.... I would never treat my friends this way.....

The weather here has just been fabulous the past few days....I actually stopped working yesterday around lunch time and dragged my neighbor out of her house and made her go for a walk with me.... I almost did it again around 3 but kids came home and house became chaos.....

While my diet has been the pits in that I am not really whatching what I am eating I realized something interesting.... I am not sure whether it is the hynosis tapes, the reading of Dr Phil and understanding more of the emotional eating aspects or what is working but I am not craving my sweets anymore.... Sunday I was very stressed all day and when I was at the grocery store I thought I would get dessert for dinner.... I looked at all the pies and cakes....nothing jumped out at me... heck even Blue Bells Dutch CHocalate Icecream didnt call my name... and I could eat that on my death bed.....also when I go over to my friends house the tradition has always been to grab a COKE and a mini candy bar (she has several candy jars all over)... lately I have been craving a glass of water... so while I am there I am drinking about 3 glasses of water.... big change for me....

I am really starting to feel changes happening in me.... I really think I may be able to do this this time..... I am in no race... I just want to reach the end.

How is everyone else doing? Beth- How is the maintaining going?
