Yes i'm counting today. It's not over yet.
Summer-sending you some ((((((((((

)))))))))). And

thinking of you girl. I wish there is some way you can figure out how to get that knee surgery. I know, and understandable, dd comes first, on this, but I can hope and pray for you not to be in pain. I understand how you feel. Thank you for all your kind words. Understanding your situation, you have my deepest heartfelt admiration (sp). I'm finding out, and I know so I will get tired of it, a salad a day, helps. Sherri is right on that the salad fills you up. I add "salad toppings" to mine, which helps. Yesterday I ate 3 egg salad sandwiches, a weight watchers meal, salad, and a few chips, oh and a small vanilla cone from

I must get out of the habit of eating out of the bag, when it comes to the chips. But I'm finding that I'm gaining some control on that situation. Be better to stay out of the bag, I know, but chips, and Ice cream are definately trigger foods for me. All I have to do is think about them once, and I go nuts till I get some.
Susie-you are doing awesome. I would like to get to my lowest weight again since joining tops 186 I do believe. I had gained some before the baby, and then more with the baby. I just realized that small goal is obtainable, but not sitting on my butt. It's only 14 pounds, from my current weight. Sometimes we look at the big picture instead of the little ones. Take small goals, to get to the big goals. Which brings me lately I'm feeling I'm way to spoiled. I think about those that have not, and I have so much, and I would have more if I would just control what I do have. You know what I mean. We spend like there isn't a tomorrow, (might not be)but then we wonder why we have not. We say we want to be thin, but we eat like there isn't a tomorrow. We know that which makes us fat, but yet we do them anyway.

I'm sounding like a preacher. I really must get back to church. I think about it often, but I don't do it. You know I really believe God is the Key to our Success. Because like Christie said, we can do all things through him, and without him nothing is possible.
Ok, I just took a step in trying to get more in line on another thing. Finaces. I wanted to go to a tractor pull with a friend from work, but by the time we went, paid for everything it would cost us between 60-100, and we just don't have it right now. Not with the possiblities of the house. We must stop spending like there isn't a tomorrow. I'm going to cut down on a lot of things, and I hope the family understands. Although I may be purchasing the dvd player for my bedroom for exercise purposes early on weekend mornings. But then again, I will probably feel guilty doing it. Let me see how much bottle return we have. That may be close to the amount I need.
Ok, I'm outa here, sorry ladies for babbling, and sounding like a preacher this morning, but I believe it's true. Another reason we don't have is cuz we don't ask for it.
