I'm a perfectionist, too. Only black and white - no grey. Which is why my binges are huge, I suppose. I understand how you all feel because I am feeling the same way. I wish there was some magic cure for over eating, but since there's not, we all have to keep trying and focus on the positive. :flowerforyou:

Exactly. I liked Sammi finally getting a stable husband and her trying to be stable too. OH well. But I do love Lucas!!!

Mon 2/7 with 10 minute walk (knees KILLING me from the day prior!!!) Tues 3/7 with 15 min walk Wed 4/7 with 30 min dance with 3rd grade (rehearsing for show!) Thurs 5/7 with BALLROOM dancing with my 5th grade! I haven't had enough energy to do this since we started the dance class eight weeks ago. But suddenly today I felt…

Yeah, this new Austin is not a looker. LOL Very feminine.

Thanks for the warm welcome back. Tomorrow I go back to work after a week vacation. *sigh* I hope I can get it together there and stay focused!!!

I'm here! Sorry! I think I am *making* myself busy so that I don't have to think about my weight gain. The wicked tricks our minds create!!! Thank you so much for your warm welcome home. I am so relieved to be back amongst healthy friends!!! 1/7 with 15 minute walk. Gotta start somewhere!!! :ohwell:

Hello friends. I hope you'll have me back. Been a wild ride for the last year. Time for round 2. *sigh* But I am going to focus only on positive energy. I've missed this group!!!

Here I am. Round 2. *sigh* Thanks for the invite and for remembering me, Mollie! I have missed this. A lot. Not much on words tonight, or for reporting my huge failings. I am just trying to get back in the groove and stay positive. :)

I really hope Marlena does come back. I love her!

Momma - *hugs* you and your family are in my prayers. Keep in touch. Teresa - Congrats!!! I am so happy for you!!! No babies here. I am perimenopausal! :noway: :laugh: :glasses: Started school today.
