Good morning everyone!
Danni -- I too have been trying to figure out what eating does for me. It's something I feel the constant need to do, so it must be something...but I haven't figured it out yet either. But, I agree, the more I live this new lifestyle, the better chance I have of changing my behavior. Good luck planning your trip!
Ebb -- Just take it a day at a time...you can make today a good day!!
Meredith -- Oh, I am SO with you about having that urge to just sit in front of the TV and eat myself silly. And you're right, I want to be horrified by that urge, but I'm starting to think that's the wrong approach to take. So, I'm trying to acknowledge those feelings (but not act on them!) and then figure out why I'm feeling that way (I haven't figured that part out yet). Hopefully once I've figured out why I'm feeling that way, I can take steps to manage those feelings in a way that's NOT eating. Obviously all my Counseling classes in school are sinking in, haha. My professors would be so proud.
Jen -- Thanks! I can't believe its been a year already! And that's an interesting WOE!
HP last night was great! I had totally forgotten what happened in the book, so I wasn't disappointed by whatever stuff they cut out, because I couldn't remember, lol. And, I planned snacks, so I was totally prepared and had a 100 cal bag of popcorn during the movie and a granola bar afterwards when I got home late because I was hungry (okay, and few of those freaking M&Ms...arg, why can't they be gone already!) But, I saw the 150's (159.6 to be exact!) this morning, so I was excited!
