Good morning, Goadies! TGIF!

Unlikely to be very helpful in my response, but I don’t give much thought at all to either creating new or breaking old habits. And by not much I mean no thought at all. Call me boring but I can’t think of a single habit I want to create in my life that would substantially change it in terms of happiness or satisfaction. I…

Now’s your chance to help us define the conversation on GoaD! One day a week! New voices always appreciated! ——————————— We meet here to explore, share, celebrate and (sometimes) agonize over how we do (or don't) incorporate weight loss guidelines into our daily lives. "It's a lifestyle, not a diet" is easily and often…

Here.

Good evening

Good morning, Goadies.

Good morning, Goadies!

Good evening, Goadies..

George, ditto. Almost verbatim. In fact, when we do get called back to WFW, I will ask them to review my output and accuracy since WFH has been in place, I will remind them that without my commuting I have given two extra hours daily to my job and then...if they insist I return, I will give notice. No job, no amount of…

Hi Derrick. I haven’t had a hobby in years. Closest thing I have now is the time free to surf the Net. Not a lot. Yeah, I got nothing to add here.

It’s been a week, everyone. Thanks for your responses. I too weigh in daily but “count” Monday as my official WI.

To the best of my knowledge, neither my illness nor that of those I love significantly impacts my appetite. Boredom, anger, stress, frustration, all do. And not for the better. Satiety isn’t even a word in my vocabulary. I think I need to wait well over an hour before feeling full. Yeah, that satiety button is definitely…

Good morning, Goadies.

Good morning, Goadies!

I definitely have a plan. For my success, it’s crucial. I’ve been called focused, structured and habitual and not in a good sense. Ok, I’ll take it. Often, I preplan my daily meals and snacks and usually on Sunday, I try to form a menu that will be easy for me to implement during the week. Do I ever ever off the plan? Yes…

Here. Good evening, Goadies.

While I am not in the camp that dislikes water, neither does it hold much attraction for me. When WFW, I used to sit directly under an AC vent which made any water intake unlikely. Now, WFH, there may be no AC, but I am consistently cold because of the weight loss. Again, an undesirable condition for water intake. This…

Good afternoon Goadies.

Here. Been a busy couple of days. Good night!

Oops - meditation recommendations: anything by Sylvia Boorstein, Sharon Salzberg, Jack Kornfield. Lots of great YouTube, podcasts and books!

In 2016 I returned to the Faith and the Church as a result of Pope Francis’ exemplary life and message and the Year of Mercy. While I have been all over the spectrum spiritually speaking, I currently have a prayer practice mainly centered around the Divine Office, the Examen, and the Holy Rosary. Each of these speak to my…

Present.

Good topic, Derrick. I think it natural for our focus to change with time and circumstances. That being said, it’s a kindness offered to ourselves to not let it derail our efforts or worse, beat ourselves up for not staying focused 24/7/365. You can always begin again!

Greetings all. Prodigal back, if only for a shorter while. Not sure. Still WFH so not a ton of time.

Derrick, in days BC (before Covid) I rarely had time to be online. And while I am now WFH, there’s no one looking over my shoulder. Thanks to Greg, I just rediscovered MFP and GoaD here. perhaps my wisdom will flow more all over this message board. Oh wait. TPis in short supply now..😆😆😆

It’s because you are transitioning from a man to a woman? You know having a set makes you drop weight like a hot skillet....😆😆

Interesting and probing question. Hard to pin down actually. I like the lighter, more energetic me. Not that I always have that consciousness. I also like not feeling winded to tie my shoes or to do caregiving chores. I am hoping to lose an additional 10#s and “seal the deal” but we all know where good intentions can take…

Present after yesterday’s train wreck. My sister does an incredible job putting on a party. Definitely overindulged in food and drink. Well, today is another day. Back on Plan. :s

“It's totally irrational, but yet, it's there.” Yes. Perhaps because we can’t always count on being totally rational people. I can’t really tell what switch finally flipped for me in January, but glad it did. For years I was subjected to point creep and hence weight gain. Didn’t do anything about it and wound up not only…
