Seeing these little things are ...It isnt so small. Seeing these little things are wonderfully huge! They are triumphs! I look forward to a day when I can garden without trying to maneuver around my fat belly. Or cross my legs successfully. Or not have to worry about going somewhere if I am going to fit in the seat. I will stop here. <br /><br />Cheers to your success!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945911444997924849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-19358255020610178112010-05-22T02:16:09.146-05:002010-05-22T02:16:09.146-05:00I DID IT !!!

It is now 1:45 A.M. and I haven't eaten anything since 7:30 P.M., when I finished up a salad, and I don't feel hungry. I can't believe I did it. I've worked nights for 2 years, and evenings for the last 10 months. I can't remember the last time that I didn't munch on something over the entire shift. I remember times that I would eat 3 meals while at work.Tonight I drank lots of tea, water, and some lemonade. One of the major things that has helped me is I've finally figured out how to eat slowly and actually enjoy the meal. I also take more drinks during my meal and use the liquid as a filler, not just as a beverage. My goal for tomorrow is to not eat after 8:00 P.M. I think I will try to take Just my veggie snacks and a banana. I have some Fiber-1 bars,one of those works good to calm a sweet tooth. Plus I've satisfied my mind with the sweet taste, but also fooled it with only 150 calories. Thanks again to Sean and everyone else who left the supportive comments. It really means a lot to have the support of so many people, and people who are walking down the same path that I am. Maybe we all will catch up to each other and cross the finish line together. I think that I'm going to start a blog as soon as I figure out how to, this is kind of fun. Good luck to everyone. :)Nathanielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-9121010602593271012010-05-22T00:26:59.179-05:002010-05-22T00:26:59.179-05:00Great post.

I tried my regular cinnamon with salt & pepper on the Foreman the other day, and I really liked it! How do you do it?

I'm so touched by what you wrote to him in this post. Your comment of "battle yourself to stay true to them" has hit me where it counts - it is such good solid advice.<br /><br />I too am like you, I'm wearing braclets all the time now - love them! Even wearing my hair up now more because my double chin isn't so prominent. All these little things that make such a big difference on how we feel about ourselves.<br /><br />Thanks for adding me to FB.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844191762138935136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-24258162949169511652010-05-21T07:57:49.042-05:002010-05-21T07:57:49.042-05:00What an adorable pic of you and your little niece....What an adorable pic of you and your little niece...she's a dollbaby.
