BanTam ~ I love your attitude! I know you are on cloud 9 - your 15 pound loss is fantastic!
I went to my Medifast Center today (closed last week) - I lost 2.5 pounds! And a new decade!!!
Persistence pays off! I was on "struggle street" for 1 1/2 days, but got off that exit ramp very, very quickly!!
I mentionned that I am in a group of four persons taking an 8 week course called "Food and Mood" led by a psychologist skilled in binge eating, as well as, helping those wanting to lose weight. We are really focusing on documenting our feelings before and after eating a meal. She is using a workbook called Appetite Awareness Workbook by Linda Craighead, P.H.D.
The week before we tracked our food and talked about what led up to a binge.
Come to find out, these urges "don't just come out of the blue." Even when we think they do.
Also we are practicing recovery after a minor or major slip up.
Karen shared information on our last thread about her niece who lost over 100 pounds and has a plan in place in those circumstances. This has allowed her to maintain her loss for 4 years! Like I mentioned, there is a wealth of info in that last thread!!!
Everyone is doing so well - the enthusiasm is contagious!
I will be back later. I am going to LaLaLand -
Finally getting to see the movie with some new friends!
Have a great weekend!!
