Howdy!
I wanted to post before all those cute little dressed up kids start knocking!!
Last year we lost count on 75 kids coming here.I bet it was around 90!!
OOPS!! Hold on.....here's a little devil right now!! Getting an early start!!
(She was too cute!!)
Carol, Ramona & Jennelle,
I know exactly how you feel by starting off the day doing great then by lunch, blowing it. Also, I understand about the weight gain!! I have lost & gained the SAME pounds for 2 years!!
Something "clicked" at the end of July though.I didn't want to look fat in my shorts or swimsuit any longer! I looked at pics that Debbie made in Florida & I almost cried.I NEVER knew that I looked so big!!
What I do now (since diets DON'T work for me!) is, I eat what I want but in small portions and I may have several mini meals a day.I try to choose lean meats,veggies and fruits mostly.BUT I DO eat fattening foods too.I just stop when I'm full instead of keeping on until I'm miserable.Also, I try to walk 1 or 2 miles a day.If it's too cold outside, I get to School a little early and walk the halls OR I do my "Walking Away The Pounds" tape at night. If I want chips, I eat a handful then STOP!!! It's so hard BUT I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!! I'm loosing SLOW, only 15 lbs. since July but it's working!!! I wished that you would try it for a week and see what happens.I love ya'll and care so much.I don't want to see you keep gaining and giving up.Remember we're all here for you!!! I may fall again too and might need a pick-me-up from ya'll! Hang in there and don't forget that if you do mess up, there's always tomorrow AND you have friends who love you! {{{ Hugs! }}}
Gayle,

Hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear)
