Happy Wednesday! Today was quite calm at work. A welcome change from last week. :bigsmile: Today the weather is in the upper 70's to low 80's with a humidity level around 87%.

That's great that you realized you were already full. I went out to lunch today with a friend who is moving away. I was hungry so that was a positive. I did find myself eating the tortilla chips and salsa with very little thought about it. Just munch, munch, munch. I eventually realized what I was doing and stopped. I quit…

Check out some of the groups. It make take some trial and error to find ones that are right for you. Feel free to friend me.

I started to eat and then went Oh, wait a minute, I am supposed to eat only when I'm hungry. So far I have been able to do eat only when hungry. I found it interesting that it really takes focusing on it though.

Happy March! Enjoyed reading all the posts. Wishing you all well. This month's goals: Exercise 3+ times a week, Start using a pedometer (thanks for the suggestion Barbie), Break out of the 170's (pounds). Dawn

Enjoyed reading all the posts. Have a great week everyone. Dawn

Good for you! You did it!

Wow. Going through that list has helped me realize just how much of a hold emotional eating has on me. I use every single one. I have been fooling myself for a long time. We can't change something if we don't know it needs changing. Now I know.

Questions 1. Try to pinpoint the times when you were tempted to break your diet or overeat. What were the main causes? Were you anxious or angry? How about depressed or stressed? If you do eat during these times, how specifi- cally did it make you feel? Content or safe? Numb or detached? How many distinct patterns can you…

Thanks for sharing. it always amazes me how much we can change when we learn something new about ourselves. Emotions and eating go together. When we celebrate something, there is usually food involved. Birthdays, anniv., graduation, promotions, etc. Food is also consolation. Think about how many times eating icecream is…

It was good reading all the updates. Meg- thanks for the feedback. looking forward to hearing about those hotpants! :blushing: Janice-Know what you mean about the Kirby. Do you have to use your foot to get it moving forward??? Welcome to all the new people. Looking forward to getting to know you. Most of today was spent…

Hello ladies! Checking in. Been having internet problems for a couple of days. =-( It has been great reading all the posts. It makes me realize other women struggle with similar issues. Does anyone know what nutrients/supplements are healing/good for kidneys? Just found out tests done in October - results were not good and…

Happy Birthday! Like the idea of getiing rid of 1 bag/box per year of age. As far as weight loss, everyone loses at such a different rate. If your goal is around a pound a week, you would have met that goal before your next B-day.

Thanks for sharing this info. I will read the article. I have noticed how much my muscles have changed in just the last couple of months.
