    I feel good today because this is really starting to feel like my lifestyle and I find my thought patterns about food and exercise really changing for the better.

    And tonight hubby & I are going to take a swing dance lesson from my daughter and son-in-law and then dance for a couple of hours. I never thought exercise could be so much fun.

    What's everybody else doing today ... c'mon ... we wanna hear about it! :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    I went over my calories today...but only by 101...and if I weren't so sore I could exercise that off fairly easily...so overall, I'm somewhat proud...

    LOL Well I actually don't have a problem with sweets luckily...that's not my downfall...it's usually the leftovers that get me...it's the food that I can resist when my family eats it the first time around, but when I open up the fridge to get my water bottle or a small healthy nighttime snack I see it and just go wild...besides, three sets of people lighting a fire under my butt sounds like a good number...four might just make me strangle someone :P *and technically I consider the people in this thread to be my 4th group of butt kickers...because I know Jeannie will worry if I don't pop in here at least once a day lol :tongue: *

    Ooooooooookey doke!!

    I know what you mean about leftovers-- I've struggled for years cleaning my kids' plates. I would shudder to know how many calories I've eaten in my 18 years of motherhood by cleaning their plates, finishing their sandwich crusts, polishing off their half-eaten ice cream cones, or hamburgers from McDonald's because they only liked the french fries-- {{{shudder}}} See? I shuddered anyway. :bigsmile:

    Well, you hang in there sweetie-- you're really doing a good thing for yourself!!

    :sad: :sad: :sad: Um.....I would like a strawberry dance please from AWTY....:sad: :sad:

    I've never been able to post on here....it's hard for me to share the good things I've done....weird I guess..but for some reason I can't ....... so why can't I? any idea?? Cause I would like to get the strawberry dance but I know you can't get that special dance from AWTY unless you post something good you did....

    WOW....as I reread that.....ok, that is a bit strange come to think of it, knowing I'm doing well, but can't type any of it in this thread?

    FREAKY! Like ahhh HALLOWEEN FREAKY:noway:

    YAY!! Way to go Laura!! :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    I've been doing well for a couple of months because my life hasn't been particularly stressful or upsetting in this little stretch of time (and because this community is so incredibly helpful & supportive!!) but I know what that whole emotional eating/binging thing is like and it's only one day at a time that is keeping me from going there again.

    I've been reading a really good book called "Life Is Hard, Food Is Easy" by Linda Spangle. I swear she must be inside my head hearing what I'm thinking ... she really gets to the heart of the issue and it's super helpful. At least I think so....

    Whenever those leftovers start calling you, just come on here and talk to us!! We'll kick your butt or give you a big hug ... maybe both!

    :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Very true, I look forward to your daily posts Laura. I get to see your smiling face, and hear you positive outlook. You are very important to me and an inspiration.

    I am lucky,I do all the cooking! I wont be serving tofurky to my poor family, but I will be using OVOO, very little butter, seasoning with low sodium broths instead, serving whole wheat rolls.

    Here is my plan of attack for the munchies- I am going to make my 'later' plate right after dinner. I KNOW I am going to eat it, so lets know what I am eating. I will put a serving, or less, of each thing that is good for me...and a little of the not so good. Then when I dive into the fridge later on I will have my plate ready.

    Thanks, laura for making me think of this. It is going to help me a lot!!

    Majic, that is fantastic! I hope the doc said it was ok to be walking on it. I think the biggest part of staying with it is not making excuses. You did great!
    Mr mushroom says you ROCK!
