wow. I did okay with the goals!!!

Love that goal "enjoy my food"! Hey, if you chose to eat it, then enjoy it! Yay Jess! You are rising above! I haven't seen @gatamadriz . Are you there? How is it going?

Today was not a good one, until tonight. I was tired, no actually I was *weary* all day. I got energy at night. I wish my mind and body would behave themselves. The good part is that when I am weary, I don't eat. But I drink coffee. So, I am switching to decaf. :s yuck. Maybe I'll switch to chicory. or green tea. Decaf…

Jess - How are you doing today? I've kept you in prayer.

I'm just going to put in 5000 calories on the world's largest burrito and go to bed. Mom and son took me out to dinner. I got home and the cats looked at me with accusing eyes. So, I told them that I was out getting the human equivalent of tuna. They lined up at their bowls. I guess if I go off diet, they want to as well!…

Yay! Go Jess! I need to find a hobby. Playing in the dirt? No. I garden to eat. Building stuff? No. I build necessary things. My goodness. Hmmm. Interesting question.

Happy Friday to all! Yep, Sherri, I moved! I walked 2.7 miles, got groceries, gave a listen to a friend who is going through some stuff, and wondering why I'm tired... However, I think we got this. And what on earth is a seated crunchy frog???? Congratulations, Libby. I'm glad you are in your career field! Cassie, are you…

@theamazingcassiebunny - YOU HAVE GOT THIS!!! On the subject of keeping my fat clothes/skinny clothes. Nope. Donate, throw or whatever. I won't keep them. I can sew. I can shop at a second hand store. I can buy fabulous new stuff. It all goes out of style. Love you all. Good night! Lea

What is kombucha? I'm going to make cabbage - sauerkraut. Hi to Libby. I'm keeping you in prayer. Hi to Sherri. You are so pretty! Woo! Hi to dlm4mom. You are so good at sticking to your plan! Got to go :neutral: clean up the kitchen :s

Good morning!!! It is a good day. Sunshine here and I am not ill. @dlm4mom - "drink 8 fluid cups per day" seems to be the current advice on water. That amount is almost 2 liters (closer to 1.8) or 64 ounces. In the summer heat, add half again that much = 12 cups per day minimum. Just keep in mind that your body processes…

I'm glad she didn't say, "hug the bees for me"... ;)

. Love that! and - Congrats! 5 out of 6 ain't too shabby! I walked 2.5 miles in 57 minutes. I kept stopping to talk to people. It was exhilarating. I weighed at the clinic. 216.2, which equals 0.5-1 pound lost each month. I'm so happy. Tomorrow, I have to come back down to earth. Clean beeswax. Build hives. Paint boxes.…

@jessiquoi - Yay! It's okay not to "feel it". It's okay that you're not back on fully. We all walk one step at a time. Today, I go to the doctor. :s I empty my pockets. I take off my sweater. I step on the scale. I was 217 in December. I want to be 216 today! The doctor measures my oxygen and CO2. I'll walk home the long…

Libby - I'm so glad you're back "on the wagon". You may find that it's less stress to actually stick to a healthy (non scale) eating plan. Good for you.

@dlm4mom - I agree with Cassie. Those are great self care ideas. Go for it!

@jessiquoi - there you are! Wooooooooo! Drink that water! Good for you! @KimF0715 - Superbowl did not do you in, because you are still here, putting your heart into self care! Good for you! I've had two good health days in a row and I'm about to stand up and shout! I built a lettuce planting box. I'm making plans for a…

I agree! Wow, Ticia, that is a beautiful behavior!

@deneenae - that is an awesome beautiful behavior! Today, to keep calm, I will continue building/painting my outdoor planter for wild vegetables. I love playing in the dirt! @fruitydelicious - Good job of being aware of the impact of foods on your body! Potatoes! That, in the light of their bad reputation, is interesting.…

@jessiquoi - It is hard to get back on your plan after indulging. Use it as self-awareness object lesson and get back here and rise above! You are an awesome individual. Jess is Creative. Jess loves mother earth. Jess is inspiring. For everyone who is suffering from a snack attack, they really do put excitotoxins in snack…

Note for mobile users: you can edit a post for an hour after posting. Then go back and edit, save, edit, save. A real pain, but if my device switches from horizontal to vertical orientation, I lose my post.

@Mithridites ! Yay! Inspiring!

You made some good choices, Kim! Way to go! I hope you get to rest tomorrow.

@dlm4mom -I like what sherri said! Try switching up things a bit. And that one pound? Woo! I love it! I'll take one pound a month! Anyway, your mind, emotions, and body need time to adjust. I love it that you've lost a pound! Woooo! @jessiquoi - yep indulgence leads to craving. Blame the food industry for that and chew…

@fruitydelicious - I love your letter! You are the master of your destiny. Libby - it sounds like you are taking on the challenge of this new process well. Good morning all!

I like that! Okay, now I'm really done.

@jeanlake - you still with us? @gatamadriz - Cath, are you doing okay? @woznube7 - Libby I keep your job situation in prayer @dlm4mom - how are you doing today? Hang in there. What's your beautiful behavior today? @jasmarie24 - I should friend you so I can write something like "yay go" whenever you log in. @Mithridites -…

I've written this three times and I keep getting booted out! @fruitydelicious - may your pounds go where our posts went and never be seen by human eyes again! @KimF0715 - Repeat after me: "my behavior is beautiful". Do it. You are fine. You love yourself. Sometimes just say it until you realize it's true. @DarkSinestra -…

Go Jess! You tell it @SpicyGorilla - you lost that one pound once, you can lose it again. That pound will go to the same place our posts go when our devices flicker, never to be seen again! @fruitydelicious - you are on track! One controlled bit of dip didn't mess up your direction at all. Good for you! Hang on.

Dear Food, Our relationship has been rocky for more than just a few months. You are kind. Then, at the drop of a hat, you turn cruel. What gives? What did I do? Dear Food, I know it's not your fault. It's society's fault. It's the food industry's fault. It's the media's fault. But I'm the one who suffers. Did I ever do…

Note on food awareness--- I love the convenience of canned foods, but every time I eat, even a healthy canned food, I'm hungry an hour later!!
