Diet Coaches/Buddies - Eating was on plan, CREDIT moi. Did gym, CREDIT moi. Walking (CREDIT moi) was looking for birds that included a hooting Screech Owl that remained hidden in its Spruce Tree where we never were able to see it. I'm not used to owls hooting at 2pm in the afternoon.
Erika (eusebius) Congrats on another 2.6 pounds down.
Beverlyjoy Three Kudos for only three M & M's - I've
never had only three.
FutureFitChick Kudos for recognizing
"tomorrow I'll start being perfect for life" thinking - I wallow in that for a long time before I recognize it for what it is.
Pam (pamaga) Kudos for sitting down, eating mindfully and slowly. And Kudos again for spotting where you have to put you attention next. LMAO at
"iceberg lettuce is shivering."
maryann - Christmas was a while ago, LOL. I know about,
"It is almost like food chases me!"
maplover Congrats for surviving that long car time with your ex and your mom - that was a nice gift to your DD. Kudos for identifying
disordered thinking so that you can consider actions. (I would have been seduced by peanuts if I could throw the shells on the floor.)

That's what Erica calls the voice that says, I'm going to do what I want - I'm going to eat this unplanned food. It's wonderful to have a childlike part that is lighthearted and free. It's terrible if it keeps you - the adult - from achieving a very important goal or deprives you of the benefits of losing weight.
