I lost track of you guys for a bit, hope you all don't mind if I re-join you!

DD loves having her own room. She is sleeping much better than she did in our room. She's gone to bed at 7:30 both nights and has slept straight through until 7:30 a.m.!!!! NICE.
That sounds so good to me right now. Mine has been cutting the same two front teeth for weeks and weeks now. All at once, her formerly good sleeping habits went wonky and we're WORN OUT around here. I'm lucky my husband works from home and my mom is a saint - I get up with her all night (like, every 45 minutes to an hour on many nights), he gets up with her around 5.30 when she "starts" her day, and my wonderful mom comes by at 8.30 to take over for him till I get up. So he gets sleep at night, I get mine in the morning, and Nana gets bonding time with Number One Grandbaby. On balance, I guess I shouldn't do THAT much complaining but you know how it is when it's almost bedtime and you KNOW it's going to be a long night...it is hard to remember to count your blessings.
Donya, I know how it is when the will power runs out. Dr. Phil has a saying that "success comes from doing it, even when you don't feel like it." Sometimes I find that motivational. Sometimes it makes me want to stick a wad of chewing gum on his big bald head
I have been really floundering lately. I am desperate to make some changes but I swear it's like the food is IN MY MOUTH before I think, hang on! What am I DOING? I think I'm going to have to make a sign for the fridge or something. I really really really have to get a grip. This is bad for me and I'm terrified of passing my psycho relationship with food down to my daughter. It's horrible to think that I could be setting her up for a life of obsessing with food, secretly binging, self-loathing, and fatness.
I'm not generally THIS down, guys, I promise. The PMS makes me morbid. I SWEAR I'll have happier things to post soon.
Hope you all will keep in touch. I love the idea of keeping up with other moms while working on this life changing weight loss thing.
Also, has anyone read
Passing For Thin by (I think) Francis Kuffel? So far, it's been really great. It's not a how-to diet book by any means, but it's her story of losing about half her body weight, joining OA, and learning to live life after fat. If you can steal a few minutes here and there, it's worth your time.
