Today shall be a good eating day. Having some leftover aujus gravy, with rice and dipping some Wasa crisp bread in it. I hate to waste leftovers!
My momma deer and baby were in the backyard from morning to dusk, just chilling, sleeping and eating. I go out to the sun room and sit and watch. When I pass the windows I wave and smile. I want them to not be startled when they see me. Husband wants to scare them outta the yard! Nooo I tell him!
Made banana bread mini loaves last night. I will have 75 grams of one today!
Here's what they look like. Drool city huh!!!
Well time to get ready for gym.

Thank you Barbie!
I really could do with some motivation to be consistent with my fitness. Good luck everyone...2 -
Day 4 no pop. I decided I had to do something. My son works for coke so he was getting me 3 cases of 20oz bottles every 2 weeks plus I would get fountain pop when going anywhere. Yes it was diet but that is a lot of pop. Today the headache is letting up some, but edging.
Lanette--Interesting posters, thanks for sharing. I have done that before with the wash. To many things on the mind.
Tracy-Fall is my best time of year. I hope all works out so you get the washer and dryer. My DH and DBIL replaced our washer a couple weeks ago. I can tell a diffenerce in the clothes
NYKaren--Sorry to hear about your friend, hopefully she will let you be there for her.
Heather--What a Blessing you and DH can work together as a team. My DH and I try and it does work most the time.
Lisa--Hugs and prayers. You are a strong lady and I am proud to be your friend. Asking for a cart at the airport is just another way to take care of yourself. It is not like it will be forever, you knee will be replaced and then you can do all the airport running, until then take care of yourself. (is that not what you would tell any of us)
Janetr--Thanks for the update on DJ. Keeping all those in the path of the storm in prayer. My youngest sister lives in SC and so far they are not in the area to leave.
Time to get some work done. Blessings, Vicki GI NE4 -
Is anyone here an emotional overeater? I was in an abusive marriage years ago, and put on my weight at that time. I have been divorced now for 18 years...raised my two daughters alone and now that they are in college, I feel it is way past time to deal with my own struggle of this 100 extra pounds...maybe more like 140 extra pounds. I have managed to keep it on for the past 18 years no problem! I ask myself if I have kept the weight on for security? for protection from being hurt in a relationship?
I do need to set myself free from this weight mentally. I have read many self help books and have started many diets and then something seems to happen and I fall off focus.
I do feel this is my main problem. Is there anyone in this group with advice or a similar history?
Have a great Wednesday.....I'm praying for those of you from the Carolinas.

Rebecca: Love your deer. :flowerforyou:
Okie: Glad you are feeling better.
Barbie: I am a clutterer and so is DH. The area around my computer desk is my clutter zone. The rest of the house is okay. :embarrassed:
M: Ask friends at work whether they’d recommend their dentist. It may help you narrow down the field of possible choices.
We are back from our trip and it was a good one. I’m happy to be home and ready for some rest, but there is a lot to do to get the RV put back to bed in the storage unit. I’m doing laundry at this very moment.
Good lucktor all those who are in the path of storms.

Elizabeth, Eating is only one way people soothe themselves in emotional situations. Other people use gambling, drugs, sex, alcohol, shopping, There are 12 step programs for all of these that help sufferers find a power greater than themselves along with support of others to get away from these crippling behaviours. It all begins with wanting to find a solution. The women on this thread are all in search of a solution and if you read, listen, and participate in the discussions, you are likely to get the help you seek.
Abstinence turned out to be my solution. I made an eating plan, committed it to the food diary on MFP and stuck to the plan no matter what even if it meant sitting at the computer and playing solitaire while watching the clock til time til my next planned meal. Next I added being active so I would leave the house and walk rather than staring at the refrigerator. Best wishes to you in seeking and finding a solution.

Machka Magnolias and ... something I believe that white ones are just another type of Magnolia. I love the purple and white ones! Ouch! I hope you can find a dentist soon! Co-workers can be a good source of info there, most will have one that they like and some that they don't! Could narrow down the field for you.
Katla, glad you enjoyed your time away.
Janet, thanks for checking on DJ, I miss her too. Seems like she dropped out shortly after I started and that was almost a year ago!
Rebecca and the brooch, LOL, yes a scarf would definitely be necessary!
Barbie, glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. Back pain is certainly no fun. Hubby has a herniated disc in his lower back, trying to get in to see a Neurosurgeon, not an easy task..... It's nice that our healthcare is free, but oh my, the waiting lists....
So, two successful days under my belt, so to speak. And the scale is showing it! Little miffed this morning tho, had arranged a gardener to come and cut back some trees that are encroaching on our house. Actually, just to cut off some branches from a neighboring (empty) lot as they are brushing our roof. That will not be a good thing in the windy winter that we are likely to have. Anyway, he was supposed to be here around 9, it's now almost 11. I could pretty much be back from the gym already, but here I sit, in my workout clothes, waiting.... Hubby doesn't get mobile til about now, and is will not be ready to receive guests for a few more hours. Frustrating. I think I'm going to change and try to figure out a different way to get a bit of a workout in. I do need to clean house, so that involves up and down the stairs, stretching, bending etc. I'll just have to make it work. Ugh! he just showed up! Well, still not going to get to the gym, it's just too late, too much stuff to do. Oh well, between housecleaning and going for some groceries, I will get in some activity!
Hugs to those in need, congrats to those celebrating (I'm one!) and welcome to the newbies!

Emotional eating I am definitely in that category. Been doing that a lot lately. Not sure why, maybe habit, boredom, stress, who knows. I need to make a conscious effort to stop.
Hosting has been interesting. Met someone from my old hometown in Connecticut! 3,000 miles away from home! Lol had lots of common things to talk about. Fun!
We have a raccoon problem here and can’t figure out how to deter them and even get them to leave. Lots of rules and they are protected due to being in a state park. That is the worst thing we’ve encountered so far.

I drove the car today for the first time in three weeks. Jake decided at the last minute that he didn't want to drive home from the long visit to the eye surgeon where they would dilate his eyes. The two friends who would have ordinarily been available at a moment's notice were totally unavailable today. It was too late to call a bunch of people so I decided I could safely drive. It went fine. Now I have the house to myself for three hours until I have to go back and pick him up. My biggest concern about taking him to an appointment was all the time sitting and waiting, but with this long appointment I can eat my lunch and then lie down until he calls.7

Rita - nice seeing a photo of you and your hubby! Who's the fella in the striped shirt? LOL! Roswell looks like a lot of fun! Raccoons are our nemesis.... they are so smart and cute and yet, such pests . I'm afraid we've always resorted to the .22 solution. Which it appears you cannot do! You look GREAT by the way!
Barbie - that is such good news you are able to move more and drive. I don't blame you for not wanting to sit at the doc's office - good timing that you could have some relaxation time. So good also to hear Jake is doing well with his treatments and taking everything in stride.
Rye - forgot to comment earlier about your DH being the crazy cat lady, lol. We've had lots of cats in our lives, most of them super lovable barn and shop cats. I am jealous of Kidd Kirby - we never had a house cat that nice and cuddly! Enjoy your kitties for me, they make me sneeze (but not like they did thank goodness!)
Rebecca - you have all the makings of a cat lady, lol. Our twin fawns are quite at home here and have really done a job on the beans and tomatoes. I'm OK with it really, because the beans are dry beans so they are just eating the leaves and leaving the dry pods - saving me work. The tomatoes are nearly over so if they eat up the fallen and rotten ones and much down the plants, that's less for me to yank out and toss on the compost heap. I think their job is done tho and they need to move on with Mommy some night.
Our deck guy's wife is dying of cancer and he's home with her today spending some last moments. I was kind of surprised he spent all the time here on Labor Day weekend and evenings last week after his regular job finishing up our deck, but I think that's how guys work through their grief. He'd take off after a couple hours and say, "I'm going to have dinner with my wife." Kim's disease was pretty quick, just diagnosed several months ago, uterine cancer and once they'd figured it all out it was in her lungs and bones so stage 4. I worked with Fred for years and he was one of my favorite road supervisors. I'm not normally a funeral person but do plan to stop by and pay respects. I'm so grateful his kids and grandkids and parents and in-laws live nearby. He has such a big heart and she did too.
Welcome new folks, by the way. So much great advice and support here. We are all heading the same direction, some taking different paths - we are respectful of all paths which is what I love about these ladies.

Rita love it! Do you have hard shell coolers to put your food into? Trunk of a car? Yes racoons can be a headache. My mom had one (we called it the critter in her attic). It sounds like a dog was walking on her roof. The can carry rabies so do not approach one.

Ok my lunch of warm wilted spinach, a cup of cottage cheese, cut up cucumbers drizzled with balsamic dressing didn't cut it. I'm chomping at the bit still!
Was nice to my legs and didn't jog on the treadmill today. Just quick walking! 30 minutes worth!
Antsy on da island,

A cool, sophisticated cat!

Rebecca ~ Maybe you need to add some meat and a piece of bread to daily regimen. That might keep you better satisfied.
