I've read so many wonderful tidbits from this thread that i don't have the time to respond to them all! YAY for focusing on health and not a scale number! YAY for do-overs & self-forgiveness (man, i struggle with that one) YAY for taming the snacking monster with strategies like small dishes and BIG water bottles! YAY for changing our lifestyle and making this permanent! YAY for all the things i've forgotten by now, but i really liked them when i read them!
Just for Thursday,
1. take a long walk
2. lift tiny weights
3. de-clutter something
4. drink a lot of water
5. pack a lunch for school volunteering
6. crock pot dinner?

When I was 220lbs, (not that long ago) awesome shoes were a bit of a pipe dream. Not anymore, (though 6" killer heels are still out,
)
WOW! i've been around this thread for a while, and i had NO idea you had successfully lost that much weight. KUDOS to you! You and Bri are the "biggest losers!"

Yesterday
1. Dinner with a friend tonite, so try and eat light during the day
2. drink water
3. focus on positives in my life. Had a huge argument with my daughter last nite, so still upset about that. But I have to remember than no one asks for mental illness, and she is doing the best that she can - even though somethings are so hard to understand.
Did So much better again yesterday - thanks to all of you guys. I had dinner with a friend last nite - and ordered a chefs salad. It was good, and when I got home, I felt so much better about myself. Hubby wanted popcorn, and I did have a small bowl. And then the cravings started! I wanted ice cream so bad --- but grabbed my glass of water, went to my sewing machine, and made it through the nite without giving in to the cravings. I am hoping that each day these sugar cravings will lessen.
So Just for today - thursday, 1/14
1. no sugar, low carbs
2. drink water throughout the day.
3. after dinner, keep my glass of water with me, and drink it
4. Beautiful day out today - go for a long walk
5. try and get my daughter to go to the store with me. She is isolating herself more, and need to really concentrate on trying to get her out more.
6. Write in gratitude journal

Hey Joan...Just a suggestion...
Is there a protein rich snack that would work for you in the evening instead of popcorn?
Popcorn does the same thing to me that you are dealing with, it makes me HUNGRY, so I try not to have it at night.
How about a protein bar, a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder, an apple and nut butter, nuts or yogurt?
Popcorn is so hard to resist 'cause it smells so damn good, but if you had a ready supply of protein snacks to fight with, maybe you can beat it!
Love ya!0
