@pinkhippie: good for you! After my horrid "i'm so tired and all I want to do is eat" day, I went back to reading "breaking free from emotional eating" by geenen Roth. She is so kind, empathetic, and just so nice about it all. She also said that if you are really in a situation where eating is more humane than not doing it, then you need to go ahead and do it. Everyone she says eats emotionally, so for us to think that it will be gone forever or that we'll be cured, it just isn't so. What we can do like the naturally thin, is to know when to stop. This is so much hope for me.
@wannabeskinny: great idea. I love your list and I hope you keep in touch on your vacation.
I've been super busy! Had the family over for the 4th of July. We went to a parade, had a picnic, launched legal fireworks, and went to see the real ones before falling into bed. Today was all about yard work. We worked super hard in the heat today. My skinny husband didn't eat a meal until 7pm. I told him that it wasn't healthy.......or is it? Sometimes I think I'm so still into meal times like I've always known them and with kids you kind of have to stay on routine, but do I personally all of the time? I think I still need some work on this one.
Tomorrow is another day.....
