Today I went shopping for the food I plan on making and freezing for the week I am resting up after my operation. I had to choose frozen meals that I could tolerate for my lunches since i will be one handed for 10 days. I settled on Kashi's frozen chicken entrees as well as some vegetarian meals from the health food section of the grocery store. I will try one Amy's pasta bowl. Unfortunately, I will have to eat some cheese products this week since so many frozen meals have dairy in them. I hope...leptin and Ghrelin

Get your sleep, you need 8-10 hours a day my mother would say. That's all I heard growing up as she would lecture me every time I would question why I had a bedtime when other kids did not. She told me it was even more important for me since I had a health problem that I get proper rest. Well, as I got older I have come to appreciate that advice since the past 10 years I have suffered from a sleep disorder and have had to come to terms with it. Lately, I've been beating the odds and winning the...KEEPING STEADY

Now this nurse was over weight herself and knew what I was doing was something special. She asked me if I wanted to know my BMI and I told her I pretty much knew where it was, but she could look it up anyway....self adjusting attitide

I've been reading some of Ck's material on self esteem and realized that a lot of my over eating has been because of low self esteem. I talked a little about this already when I shared how I had to learn how to like myself first before I could loose weight. Self esteem and liking ones self go hand in hand. I really enjoyed the Ck article, "Self-Esteem: Your Weight Loss Maker Or Breaker?" because it gave helpful ways to aid in building up my self esteem. I could see myself trying so...sleepy Sundays

Nothing going on today. I seem to be able to stay within my calories better now since I re-adjusted the number to 1252. So when I go over I get into the maximum cals for weight loss (1330) and still get a green check. Except for Friday's doggy dumps, I felt ok. My dog is still recovering and trying to get out of the collar the vet put him in. He can't go through the doggy door, so I have to let him out when he needs to go. We used to have a bell when he was younger that he could ring so that h...
