    Just for fun: Given that this is October with the fun event called Halloween, what is the spookiest, eeriest, most frightening or just plain bizzare thing that has happened to you since you started to lose weight?

    Going through photos at my in laws house saw a picture of myself several years ago at what was probably my highest weight. THAT was scary!!! Won't go back there again (to the weight not the in-laws house).

    REMEMBER that when we get to 500 posts, it automatically resets to a new post - just follow the link on that last post.

    I worked so hard to lose 35 pounds. Got on scale and have gained 20 pounds back! Ihave to take back control of my eating habits. Been stressed for several months. Found out the hard way that eating does not make things better, Just much worse.

    I did jump on the scale this morning and it registered 142 lbs! That number seems like an outlier so I'm throwing it out in favor of this past Friday's number of 144 lbs. My usual weigh-in dates are on Fridays and that's the number I'll post on Mondays, with a special weigh-in on 10/31/2012.

    OK, so during the week I weighed myself and had dropped 2 lbs. But I did a lot of "stress eating" over the weekend (had to take cat to ER vet hospital, etc) and so I put 1 lb back on. I'm still down 1 lb but... dang. I know that stress is not an excuse for over eating. AND, that eating is not a cure for stress. So I'm going to get back on track and stay positive. (Oh, and I am picking up my kitty today because the Vet just called to say she is doing better.)
