Topic: RE: What are you celebrating and proud of? Weekend Edition
Hi everyone.
Ruth, I'm so proud of how you are continuing to work on your fear of flying - I can't wait to hear that you've booked a flight. Keep working at this and you'll find your way through this maze.
Skinny Sherrie - LOL my rule is if I can sit in those jeans or bend over and the zipper doesn't pop - then you're good to wear them.
Isn't that a great feeling - to feel good about yourself?
Michelle - oh boy - you're so right - uncluttering your living spaces does affect everything, including health. Good job.
I have several prouds this weekend. First my DD#2 just graduated with her masters degree and the whole family went to the ceremonies. DH and I flew in and made it fun mini vacation as well as celebration. Because of our healthy eating DH and I were more physcially fit so we were able to include more active activities like playing mini golf etc. And DH and I had a wonderful feast meal - and at the end of it, now that I"m back home I was able to weigh myself and I lost a pound - LOL I don't think I've ever lost weight on a trip away from home before. But the best part is that DD#2, who was never obese but was approaching being overweight last year, lost that excess weight and she saved all her old clothes for me that don't fit - and unbelievably some if it I can fit into - a little too tight to wear just yet, but I can get the zippers and buttons closed. I would never have guess I could fit into this stuff. Pretty weird to have hand me downs from you kids - good think I passed on my good taste in clothes LOL.

Topic: revolving door
so i am a revolving door on this huge weight loss issue
so i have had a really stressful weekend so far there are times I am just overwhelmed by doing it all on my own that is is just too much to take
did all the tricks, journalled, went to the park and played with the kids etc
BUT, i actually ate a whole chocolate bar and had a little ice cream yesterday and feel awful bout it
so revolving in my head, can't control these stressful eating patterns = 100% need WLS
OK doing Ok on the diet etc = I can do this without WLS
i need a break to re-group and take care of some stuff, maybe i can find a way to take some time off work and relax, take some time for myself and exercise every single darn day...i want to sooo bad and i am also looking to see if I can rent some exercise equipm't, can;'t afford to buy, no time to join gym but i need it at home so i can do it when they kids eat dinner or when they go to bed etc..
anyways, just floundering this weekend...flip..flop..flip..flop

Let us know where you booked your tickets for....I'm sure you'll do it!!
I just tried on a pair of black jeans that I bought a few months ago hoping they would fit before I went on vacation in April. Needless to say I couldn't even get them up over my hips. Well, just tried them on and I'm wearing them out to dinner tonight! They're a little snug but I'm wearing them anyway cause they make me feel SKINNY!!

Topic: RE: WW Weigh-In #2
Thank you SO MUCH for the encouragement!! You truly are my inspiration! I check your website often to track your progress. You must feel like a whole new woman. I'm not going to get discouraged. I don't care HOW LONG IT TAKES....I'm hitting goal this time.
Topic: RE: WW Weigh-In #2
Sherri you're doing great! A lot of times after a large loss, the body has to adjust. I've been doing WW for 4+ years and in my first month I had larger losses followed by gains! It was so frustrating because I was 100% on program. But, things began to even out and I had steady losses. I still have undeserved gains occasionally, but it's to be expected.
Congrats on your first 2 weeks!!!

Topic: What are you celebrating and proud of? Weekend Edition
Hello!
Anyone out there??
What you been up to?
Slowly but surely I'm healing. I was up early and did my cardio walk...felt really good!
Today I'm proud I'm not giving up on my hopes to conquer my fear of flying.
I took an on-line course last night and today I'm taking another drastic step......Hypnotherapy. 
I've never been a big believer in the process but I'm open to give it a try. The flying lesson I did the other week did wonders but I'm not quite there yet so I need more help. Like I said, I'm glad I'm not giving up. Hopefully it will work for me today....If I come home and book tickets we'll know it worked.
So what about you??? What are celebrating and/or proud of??
TTFN
I'll check back later to see what everyone has shared...
