I was way too hungry yesterday on 1250 calories so I am going to go back and try to keep under 1300 calories and see if I will lose at 1300. I lost my weight at this amount the last time and was able to stay on it because I could eat more protein and keep myself from feeling hungry all the time. If I can stay on this for a while, then I will cut back. I feel exercise will help me make up the difference in calories from 1300 to 1250 if I don't eat back the exercise calories. Yesterday I didn't d...Wednesday, March 4th 2009
It's about time that I start making in roads. I have come to that place I have to get back on the wagon or else. I am struggling bad with getting back on my diet.

I have enjoyed making more complicated meals, but it is harder to keep the calories down and stay wi...Friday, February 27th 2009
As the group of ladies went around the room and answered the questioned, " how do you handle pain and disappointment," I realized how similar we were in our response to pain and yet how different. Yes, we all did different things, but the pattern was the same. We all first went to our addictions to handle pain if we were from addictive personalities, eating, smoking, drinking,drugs, bad behavior, anger, etc. Then we expressed some kind of emotion to that behavior and third would eithe...Thursday, February 26th 2009
Once in a while I fight depression and my food habits begin to take on a tail spin. I noticed I was eating mindlessly and caught myself just staring into the pantry. I then recognized the symptoms of depression creeping back. I'm on meds for this, but once in a while I have set backs that will effect my eating patterns. I will now have to make special efforts to get out of the house and go do things that require physical activities like mall walking, something that doesn't cost anything but wil...
