Its been a couple of months since I started this lose weight get healthy campaign. I find things are changing inside of me as I progress on this journey.In the beginning it was very, very hard. Sometimes it was overwhelming. All I thought about was food. What can I eat? What cant I eat? Naturally I wanted what I couldnt eat and that want would just sit there and nibble at the edges of my mind. Planning meals, making shopping lists, shopping and then prepping the food (cleaning a...

I found the courage to weigh in this morning after hubs nagged me about it last night. I was delightfully stunned to find I lost weight. I'm down 14 pounds from my beginning weight. Now I'm wondering if all that bad stuff I ate last week actually served to jump-start my metabolism or something. Whatever the reason, I'm happy about losing a couple more pounds.

Today I am back on track. However, I am seriously afraid...

Then when I gain, I get upset/sad/angry and eventually dig in and start over again.Maybe if I reward myself for losing weight it'll keep me from overindulging and undoing my progress. Hmm. I will have to try that next time and see if helps. In the interim I have to plan for the next ...

Yesterday afternoon and evening I was feeling very irritated and I wanted to eat - everything I've been avoiding. I settled for a fun-size bag of peanut M&Ms. They really weren't that good. I also discovered it's difficult to find out tha calories in such a small bag - roughly 8 M&Ms. I did find it on the M&Ms website. Anyway, they didn't help, not even for a little while.BUT - a nice walk with my husband and a nice conversation over dinner worked wonders. We walked for about...
