Instead of keeping 'thinner' in the front of your head - how about 'healthier', how about live long enough to see my kids have kids? <BR/>I know I am sure that if my life span is 80 plus i want to be able to do more at 80 than sit in a rocker. The first race I ever ran there was an 82 year old woman in it AND SHE BEAT ME. I wanna be 80 like THAT. <BR/>I don't want to be pn statins and pressors and hoping a drug like Alli will fix my bad habit of eating til I feel like I'm gonna explode. <BR/><BR/>That helped me - hope it helps you.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>jcSparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403652432795740696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629419046336612454.post-32641025147294852952009-02-13T22:20:00.000-05:002009-02-13T22:20:00.000-05:00It's been a tough week on the sweet front...It's been a tough week on the sweet front...Ginamonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708004928074429212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629419046336612454.post-60617065402821419402009-02-13T08:36:00.000-05:002009-02-13T08:36:00.000-05:00eb - I think I too have a little Alfred in me.

I know what I need to do (stomach exercises!) but I believe that if I think about doing them it'll be just as effective. <BR/><BR/>On another note, I have discovered mangoes and they have been a godsend in (partially) satiating my Mr. Hyde like sweet tooth. Desserts are my "mama juice". <BR/><BR/>I'm imagining you on the North Banks this summer, showing off your hot-mamma bod with pride. We may have to nickname you cougar.

It's one of the things that makes it so hard... after a while you get tired of hearing yourself tell you how much you suck.<BR/><BR/>It's much harder if you're happy (newlyweds!!).<BR/><BR/>I keep a picture up in my cube of me and the SB from 2000. That's me at 275. It keeps me away from the snack machine. It's a matter of balancing love of food against hate of self (for me, anyway).<BR/><BR/>If I get too contented, I start to think... well...

No dropouts, lots of support, and focus with a sense of humor is working for me. I do need to up my calorie burning, in addition to packing fewer into my already densely packed carcass.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to be over 1/8 ton anymore.

I may still. The recents days have been the biggest struggle. Eating I have under control, I just haven't been able to move, overmuch. <BR/><BR/>I too, am determined to get <I>there</I> more and more everyday, that determination, however is fighting a killer case of the blahs, at the moment. <BR/><BR/>I'm fighting through the blahs and will be looking to kicking it into high gear sooner rather than later. <BR/><BR/>Go.

I'd say ...Well, not really busting out in that way. I'd say I'm somewhat determined. So far I've been able to dodge a few bullets, but the big kicker for me is staying away from the mama juice. It. Is. Very. Hard. I've managed a so-so effort but it makes a big difference for me. <BR/><BR/>I was where you were a few months ago - pretty much settled into thinking I'm just gonna be a big, ol fatty for the rest of the way. BUT...or maybe BUTT...<BR/><BR/>around Christmas I just had it. I was tired of being fat. Absolutely tired of it. I hate the fat clothes. I hate sitting on an airplane and I really hated looking at myself profile in the mirror. Can you say, "Alfred Hitchcock"?<BR/><BR/>It's going to take longer than June, that's for sure. But I am determined to get there. I'm just not going to beat myself up if I slip every now and again. <BR/><BR/>I dunno what to tell you. Maybe you need a good shot of self-loathing in the form a pic of yourself on the fridge.ebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420158428882932160noreply@blogger.com
