Anybody else struggling today??????

I dated Ben & Jerry several times a week before my surgery... It was love at first BITE.

yes, well you are a YANK, my friend..... lol but I didnt know if B&J (now get your minds out of the gutters......) didnt know if they had B&J down south. I actually am such a food freak that I went to the factory once and went on the tour. Its a very nice place..... haha.... and they give samples. I had to have two. truly! ok... you ladies have ALREADY made me feel better. I LOVE SC.

Oh, I know Ben and Jerry all too well!!!!! Melissa

AHHHH, Ben & Jerry, I knew them well. I'm from Jersey and my husband is from Vermont. (And just to give you a little incentive to get your butt down here), we met and married in SC!! Both of us coming off of bad marriages and I was only here for less than 1 year when we met. One of the first things he showed us when we went back to Vermont was the tour Was great - free samples YEAH! But seeing as there's not a whole lot to do in Barre, Vt. the kids kept wanting to go back for more. Colleen

Hi Colleen!! I have been on that tour!!! Have you ever heard of Cabot Cheese? I went on that tour the same day.... lol I just don't know what food products are in SC and what stores are in SC that are in MA... When I do come there (AND I AM definately coming there!!) i will see..! I just have to figure out when. you see... I am having surgery on may 22nd, and I am a little bit hesitant about booking a flight without knowing how my recovery is going to be. BUT I also want everyone that I have been chatting it up with to be around that weekend/week. I know that people make vacation plans though too.... (not that I expect anyone to not make a plan because of lil ole me from the north.... lol) So.... I am debating. I called my surgeons office and they finally got back to me. The surgical coordinator.... "so formal of a title, eh?!" said that I could possibly be back at work 9 days later, but I might not want to travel 30 days later, because I will be tired..... ugggh. But... I know it gets really HOT/HUMID in July/August. Soooooo As usual I am in a 'pickle' heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp. lolololol like everything ..... I am going to just 'meditate on it' and wait for an answer to come to me over the next few days. Lately I am not one to make rash decisions... unless it is Ben & Jerry's related..... hahahahaha xoxo

Same here. Wish I had some of those workds of wisdom but I need that kick in the butt here as well. When you get yours pass it down here. Julie

I sure will!!! Melissa

I'm with you!! I think most of mine is eating out of habit. If I could just break the cycle, I'd be ok. Right now, I'm not concentrating so much on the eating, but the exercise (since I have had such a time getting a good routine going). I'm planning on going after meeting tonight!!!! Hugs, Dianne

I totally need to be in a daily routine of exercise. I try to go, but there are too many things that I can use as excuses not to go!!! Melissa

I'm with you - ANY excuse will do - and it doesn't even have to be a good one! While I'm not working I try to get up and put my work-out clothes on and after dropping my son off at school, go right to the gym. This way it's done and overwith - cuz I use the excuse that if I shower and put my make-up on first thing in the am, I can't take another shower cuz my hubby is sleeping (he works nights). See told ya, any excuse (we have 2 bathrooms, I could shower there). Colleen
