It's early on Tuesday Morning- the thread is stared!
I was bad yesterday afternoon and made 1/2 recipe of a chocolate zucchini cake -- used applesauce and splenda but hey it still has calories and I ate way too much of it. I am really having a tough time getting my eating under control and the scales reflect that. I don't know why I can't get the mind set I had when I first started this journey....do I want to gain all the wt back -- heck no, but I need help!
feeling like a failure.......

Done! Your Ticker:
Pat,
You are not a failure, just human!!!! And a very sweet one.
When we first started, the weight was coming off at a decent rate and that was the incentive to follow the eating plan.It is so easy to get back to those old habits.
I find that eating too many carbs makes me want more and more. Chocolate zucchini cake would certainly break my resolve to stay on track too.
Try join Susan's boat and plan ahead if possible. We all have similar struggles.
Kisses

Pat,
I have my issues with overeating, too ... like I really want ice cream but as soon as I have it, I end up having too much, and then I get sick ... it's the only sugar item that gets me sick. With most things, I've found that portion control is the key. I bought some dixie cup ice cream portions ... and I can have my ice cream in that portion, and that's enough to make me happy, but not enough to get me sick.
I'm still trying to get this 20 pound gain off ... I know I need to exercise, but right now I'm still trying to unpack, get used to my new job, the routine, etc., ... I can come up with excuses galore.
I keep coming here every day because I need the support. I can't get it anywhere else. Sometimes I might not answer everyone, but I'm here to listen ... I might not have the answer, so I don't answer. But I sure understand the problem.

Good Morning (just squeaking in on time to still call it morning)....
I have so much to do outside but don't have the energy to do it which is really starting to bug me. I'm going for a CAT scan tomorrow to see if they can figure out why I'm so anemic.
Dad is still the same...not good...the Dr's are no longer talking about the possibility of him going home at all...they are looking into Hospice and for the first time one Dr put a time-frame on it. My mom is going to call the PCP today to find out the details (we want to be sure dad understand the conversation correctly). Just very sad....
I got share with you all that I really believe God worked in a very mysterious way....... it's amazing to me that I suddenly had such a strong desire to get over my fear of flying and to actually fly in that little tiny plane to help me. AND I was never a believer in hypnotherapy but so many of you recommended it and then I stumbled on a wonderful therapist thru my massage therapist. It's like all the pieces were put in front of me so I could get over it because he (God) knew I'd need to be flying frequently in the near future. I'm flying back to NY next week....actually this time next week I'll be there.
Well, I'm off to pick up my CAT Scan prep....another tasty ****tail for dinner and breakfast....
Hope you all are well
Hugs and prayers to all who need them.

Hi Julia and my OFF family:
We had a big storm here yesterday afternoon and evening. I got my grocery shopping done (went to the dreaded Walmart ... why doesn't that place stock its shelves better? They do have good deals but half of the stuff I want isn't on the shelves.) and then came home to drop off the groceries. It had just started to rain at that point, and I wanted to go out and find my new credit union (I was going to do that first, but picked the wrong address off the GPS and wound up near Walmart instead). So I headed off to the credit union just as it started to pour ... then there was lightning as I was inside and in the process of opening my accounts, the lights flicked. The woman opening the accounts had problems ... finally she realized she would have to do it manually instead of on the computer. This credit union was much nicer than the other one ... they let me sit down to open the account, explained all the options to me. This woman was so sweet and professional, unlike the teller who opened the account at the other credit union. Can't wait to go over there and close out that account and tell them why.
Then, after I got home from having lunch/dinner out (it was late in the afternoon), it really started to pour. I was going to take some stuff out to the dumpster, but it was raining so hard. So I'll have to do that today. I thought about going to a movie today, but I really need to do laundry and unpacking today. So I'm going to stick around the house, other than to make one trip to the store to get things I didn't get yesterday (some stuff Walmart didn't have that Brookshire's does).
Anyway, I need to get my buns in gear and get going, get in the shower and start doing stuff. Not much else happening, just enjoying my day off. Looks like rain again today, although the clouds start to break up a bit every now and then.
Well, have a good day.
