Good morning to all. I have gotten my pool laps out of the way. I have been slack on my exercise. I do something everyday but I have to do at least an hour in order to lose. Twenty minutes a day will not get it.
Nita--Do I ever relate to what you said. I do get so tired of dieting. Especially when it doesn't seem like I am making headway. Usually something happens that gets me back again. Something embarrassing happens or I have to miss out doing something because of weight. I have been hanging around same weight for 3 months now. Way behind on my goal of 1 pound a week. So know Nita that you are not alone. Was glad to see you post I was getting worried about you.
It is very hard to come here sometimes as we all feel like Nita. We simply have nothing to say. I am there quite a lot. i try to at least say hello so you know I am still kicking.
we have a lot of MIA. This losing weight is such a daily struggle.No! A minute to minute struggle. Because it only takes me a minute to get going on a binge or unhealthy eating. And once started it is impossible to stop at that minute. At least for me.
Wasn't it wonderful that all those miners were rescued alive and well.What a miracle.

Well, I too know how you all feel. But I know i want this. I mess up and could do better more often than i do, but i want this. We all do, that's why we are here, or why we are at tops. We can do this thing. One day at a time.
eleni-weigh to go on the laps. Do you swim or are you walking laps in the pool? When we went to srd, (i can't swim) i walked back and forth in the pool.
All the missing in action, hang in there we can do it. I know we can.

I agree with the feelings of just getting soooo tired of the 'dieting' thing and think that is why people stay away from posting. However, we know that not staying accountable at times just perpetuates the poor eating habits......but we're human and it can feel insurmountable. When life gets down on us, food can seem like such a comfort.....but alas, it ends up causing us more frustration. Ah, that viscous cycle...............................

Nita, good to see you back with us. I'm really going to have to be 'good' ..... almost starving, to get back in. Was suppose to have a fun day away from home yesterday and things just blew apart.....nothing went right.....dh, tried to get us in a car wreck twice. Ate too much and went to bed on a mud pie blizzard from DQ. I feel really alone sometimes....so I know how you feel about getting tired of watching the food. Oh, how's your hubby doing?

Eleni, I was in the shower yesterday. I also know about those tempting vending machines. That is one good thing about not being in the work force......don't have any near me. Ha-ha! Congrats on getting your laps in and we sure do appreciate you for staying in touch with us almost daily. You are keeping accountable!!!!

Wendy, You too keep hanging in and that is great. If we didn't, just think where we really would be with our weight. It's a scarey thought for me!! Keep on keepin'.........and best wishes......

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. We're in this battle together and as the song says...........'We Shall Overcome"!!!
