I need diet-rehab!!! I was SO on the ball for like a good month and I just dropped it. I MEAN DROPPPED IT!!!!

major mood swing
This morning the baby had me up at 5am. I felt sick, I could feel it in my throat, in my nose, chest, even my eyes hurt. I've been on mfp since March, and haven't really lost any weight, so I was starting to get down on that too! I thought to myself, I give up, I'm throwing in the towel, I am not working out anymore, and…

Day Two of Sobriety
Last night was the first night in months that I had not a drop of alcohol. Not even a sip from my husband's single drink (yay for him!!!). I have to admit, it was pretty hard. It's mostly the habit of tasting and having the action of making the drink that keeps me doing it. This morning, I was far less dehydrated and it…

Words of Wisdom - 6.17.08 - Life is in session
Good morning I heard Oprah say... Get the lesson so you can move on. No matter how terrible an experience has been, acknowledge that it has contained a life lesson. Each experience has made you who you are today and who you be tomorrow. I love life! :heart: God is Love:heart:

three fold utopian dream
Just got done hitting the bench for the first time in a while. I had to get up early because I was on vacation for work and still have things from my camping trip to unpack. Now, it's off to make some oatmeal and head to work for the first time in a week. The adrenaline will definitely support me for a decent amount of…

23 -- on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe-is-me!
My apologies in advance if this post is in the wrong thread, as I felt it was appropriate still focusing on physical education. I lacked a prominent father figure in my life since mine died before birth. I was raised by my grandparents and although they took care of me, they were never capable of taking me out to explore…

Fire Water
I know I have posted about drinking before, but that wasn't to quit. That was to slow down, keep it to one or two drinks a night..... I have come to the realization that I need to quit, both my husband and I do. We don't wake up everyday jonesing for a drink, but we do come home from work and grab a drink. And then…

Advice Anyone?!
I've done horrible this past week. I only exercised twice & I've been staying under my calories, but still not eating very healthy. I've gone swimming the past 3 days, but I'm not sure if I can consider that as exercising. I really want to start this week fresh, but I'm not sure how to pick myself back up. Does anybody…

FATHERS DAY SPLURGE ( but I'm a mom)
OK GUYS I started out the day really well. I took my daughter to the park, we played. I skated for a while. Then my hubby got home and I took him out to the Olive Garden. BAD IDEA!! I should have stayed home and cooked him a good meal. I have very little self control when it comes to eating out. Not only did I have the…

Pets
Aren't pets grand? My question to all of you is... How many of you have pets that help motivate you and keep you moving?

small
Today my daughter hugged me and said "Mom you are getting small, I can wrap my arms all the way around your waist." That is all the motivation I need to keep on going. But later on she had to tell her dad that she is proud of me that I am getting smaller. Just shows me that my family is best support.:happy:

Overweight ilegal?
I just found this link on yahoo..Im sure some of you have seen it already. But Japan is measuring waistlines and imposing fines for those who are too big. Granted..it seems odd, but, looks like it may help with the diabetes and problems associated with obesity. Bet it would keep health costs down then too, in the long run.…
