All wonderful ideas and suggestions. I was not brought up eating seafood.. but I am changing right! I am willing to give anything try for the greater good. If I don't like what I eat then I just won't buy it again. Thanks! Valerie

You all give me hope... After reading your posts, I find it amazing that you have all gone this long doing the right thing. It has only been day 2 and I have already messed up. I know changing how I eat is possible because you all are living proof of it. I just have to get into the groove of things and make it happen. I…

As I sit here trying to change my lifestyle, I struggle with the in's and out's of learning how to eat right. I live such a hectic life that it's hard to squeeze in a healthy homecooked meal. I find it easier to drive thru a fast food joint and take it home. The problem with this is I don't pick the right stuff. In my…

WOW... you are awesome! The kids now and days have no respect for themselves much less another person. I see it everyday in the ugly world that has sprung up around us. What you did not only put those brats in the place, it also gave you and that lady an ego boost. It's bad enough we tend to beat ourselves up for being…

well I have a lot of badness to flush out.. just wish we didn't have to potty so much.

If all else fails, I guess I could use depends or something to get me by till my break LOL...

Makes sense. Just kinda hard to go potty when you are busy working. Gotta see all the good that benefit from drinking more water. Like you said, I just have to let my body get used to drinking more water. :drinker: :drinker:

Since I began drinking more water my trips to the restroom has increased. Does anyone else have this happening to them? Do you why? Valerie :huh:

It's all about the attitude. I read something about an attitude check and I am trying to change my life based on what I learned: * Reaching a certain size or weight won't necessarily make me happy. * There are no shortcuts to achieving what I want. * Excuses ( I don't have time, I'm too tired, etc...) won't wash it. * Each…

Hey! Nice to meet you... I am still learning the ins and outs of this site. I find it great because I can work on making my own meals without having to worry about those fancy looking meals. I want to focus on learning how to eat right then work on making my meals more gourmet or in my opinion fancy LOL... The added perk…

Nice to meet you! I live in Lubbock but I used to live in Alvarado and Rockwall eons ago. Yep, having surgery really looked good to me.. Especially knowing my best friend's wife had it and she lost over 150 lbs. Then there is my mother in law who lost about 50 in a year. Her lifestyle also influenced my decision on…

:glasses: Hello everyone. My name is Valerie, a Texas gal who has been overweight for most of my life. I guess the pounds started to add up right after I married my first husband. Since then, I have been adding to my collection. In the past, I have tried various fad diets which I bailed on because I wasn't losing weight…

Hi! Your heading caught my eye. I have been overweight for more than 20 years! Yikes.. sounds terrilble but now is the time to make some changes. I'm here for you if you need a friend. Valerie
