Topic: RE: Progress Poll
Donna,
I'm with you - I have been shooting myself in the foot, stomach, back you name it. I do well with the protein and then something will trigger those old emotional habits and TWIX is somehow gone....and I've eaten it 
I've gained...yes gained 15 pounds in the last 3 months. I am terrified I am going to gain it all back. Each day, I say I am going back on the wagon again....to fall off 
Dealing with a lot of DEPRESSION!!!
Taking it day by day in hopes that I will get back on track.

Topic: RE: Progress Poll
I just ate an entire snicker bar after having a nutritious salad for dinner. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Hope your pop tart was good cause my snicker bar was fabulous.
And I wonder why I can't seem to lose anymore weight.... I'm my own worse enemy here. Its just a little too easy to revert back to my depression eating habits.
BTW, I hope you feel better Beth. We all have those days. I'm just having way too many of them lately.

Topic: New DL Photo
Quick one,
I had to get new plates at the DMV for my car - I moved recently. While I was there I got my new DL photo - the lady and my roommate agreed - they didn't even recognize the lady in that photo.
That's what losing 212 lbs will do for you!
