Good Morning to you all. Summer, I truly love your advise, you do inspire me to stay strong, especially since I have gained and feel like I have totally given up on myself. I know the gain was not big, however, this is the first gain I have had since April, and that is what bugged me the most. What is funny, is when you know exactly how you gained it and you still are angry at yourself for not having better control. My goal is to not beat myself up about it, that is not gonna get the weight off, it will actually frustrate me more, send me to the fride on a rampage of how much can I actually eat before I want to be sick??? So I am starting fresh and being good. I thought I was being pretty good yesterday, until we went out to dinner at my parents house. Wow, I was doing ok, until she made everyone cake and ice cream, wow, it sure was good. But, that is the kicker, I am wishing I would have just left it alone, I mean I KNOW I was not hungry, we had just eaten over an hour ago. What is it with people doing things like that, and what do you do - just take a couple bites, savor the taste and say, thanks...at least that is what all the books say to do, so why is it so hard to do that???? well, I sure dont know.
Christie - thinking of you and hoping you stay in the leeway, I think we are all waiting to hear from you. Best of luck to you.
Sherrie - welcome back girl, finally get that computer working, I could of told you if you kick it enough times it will do something for you. I sure hope you are doing good. Did you enjoy your vacation, we are looking to going to Florida sometime this year, not sure when, but I know for sure, I wont be going towards the water. WOW!! Hope you enjoyed yourself and all the company you managed to visit. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you, and hope to see you back here soon.
Eleni - how is it going? I hope all is well with you and your keeping yourself going. Just wanted to let you know, you can do it. Keep positive, I sure know I have a hard time doing it sometimes, especially right now. How are your hands feeling, hang in there. I am working on teaching my little one to type and she looks at me and asks how come I type so fast, I just smile and have to tell her. Lots of work and practice and this is what Mommy did for lots of years for work. I am encouraging her to start young, I dont think the keyboards are gonna go away anytime soon, so the better she can type the easier her life may be in some aspects. She is up to 8 WPM, not to bad for six. Hope you are doing good, hang in there. Get some bengay for your hands, it does work.
To everyone else, I am thinking of you all, just need to finish this and go do some exercise, so dont think I forgot you, I did not do that, I just want to get this in before anyone else gets up. It seems like once the action starts in the house, you put yourself on the back burner, and soon we will be rolling around here getting ready for school and work. This is the one day everyone gets to sleep in a little bit, but I did not. Hey, that is one thing going for me, I got up for me - and well, my cup of coffee, I am down to one, just not ready to give up that one cup of coffee at this point. so now me and my jug of water are going on the treadmill. Talk to you all later.
Have a great day everyone.
Angie

Definitely don't beat yourself up. One of my big down falls is once I taste something, I have a hard time stopping.
