Marge,
I know exactly what you mean. I'm pretty good about my food intake, and don't even have much urge to cheat. Those happen only when I'm out somewhere, and can't control (or figure) the hidden ingredients in things. It also happens that friends invite me over, and depite their best intentions, things have higher carb counts than I would like. They don't seem to understand that HONEY is still a CARB!! ("but, it's NOT sugar!")
As for the exercise, my weightloss efforts are for naught without it. Seems my metabolism is sloooooooooow when left to it's own devices!
Marieshops,
Thanks for saying hi! You are doing GREAT! And ... take a look at how long I've been at it! So, really you are doing better than me!
jbbrennan,
Believe me... I am not so "woo hoo"...
I just say that to make myself feel better! Now... if I could be 40 pounds lighter in the next year, 40 would really be WOO HOO! Isn't it strange? I mean, most of our lives, we are looking for someone to accept us unconditionally, and then when someone does, it makes us upset?!? I think for me, when my boyfriend tells me I look great as I am, it just highlights my own frustration and dissatisfaction at myself. Go figure....
missaec,
What I find hard is that I HATE winter! So, I tend to be inactive then. Once the warmer weather comes, I love to walk. I have to just bite the bullet, and start some exercise at home... and wait it out. Thanks for the encouragement!
OK people... I am PMSing BIG TIME today!! Up 4 pounds overnight
Perhaps I should stop weighing around this TOM. Boo hoo....
Aria~
