Hi everyone. I'm loving this too. My vote would be for this section to be closed to anyone other than members tho. There may be things we want to talk about amongst ourselves that we want to be private.

Glad to be here and I sure do need some encouragement. I KNOW what I need to do, but my motivation is in the toilet. Somebody kick some sense into me!

Hey Dinah. I know what you mean about motivation. Why does it sometimes click, and other times not? I (thank God) am in a time where the switch is "ON", and I hope every AM that I wake up with it still in the "ON" position. You have done so well so far! How do we get you back into the "ON" position? I have seen you put inspirational messages on the boards - do you have these for your own use at home? Tape em to the mirror. Tape up old pictures, buy some cool clothes in the next size down, make lists of why you want to do this. Post here.

Know this, even though you are struggling to make the click happen, your posts have been an inspiration to me. You have helped me keep my switch in the right position!

Here is a kick comming your way.... hope it works!

Oh Geez, Trish, Why did you have to be so sweet, when I'm such a sh## right now???? I am PMS-ing out of my mind (sorry guys) right now, and am so down on myself I can't stand it. My favorite saying for this kind of mood I'm in is "This too shall pass". I'm depressed, but at least I know it. One day I'll eat everything that doesn't eat me first, and the next day I have to force myself to each a piece of cheese. (today being one of those days).

I had my major light bulb moment back in May of 2003. I have (had) been SO GOOD on my WL journey till lately. Not that I'm off the wagon, but I have a bad case of who gives a sh## right now.

I know what I should do, but doing it is another thing. So I am volunteering to turn around and let anyone who wants to, give this large rear view a swift kick.

Thanks for your sweet words Trish. I'll be back to myself soon. I promise. But just tolerate the mad woman behind the curtain for a few days, will ya?

HUGZ

DINAH!!! I guess I'm gonna have to smack some sense into ya. Girlfriend...look at what you have been goin through for the past .I'd say 3 months. Since about the time I joined. You have been VERY sick with that, whatever you had. On so much antibiotic for it. You went through alot for your friend, a death close to heart. Now the stress of worrying about your sister, AND yourself. PMS on top of everything else. Give yourself a break. huh?? STOP, rest, look at where you have been. The accomplishments you have made. Dingy does NOT have to mean "always" up. We love you here, and feel my HUGS!!! Have your day of "to hell with the world, and everyone in it". Do it up right! Then lets put a period on it and move on. When your done...grab my hand and we will skip down this road together!!

I am so glad you said something, for my modivation has been in the toilet too. I get up and am gun hoe,then before I know it have stuffed something in my mouth I KNOW BETTER.I did SO WELL for so long and just can't get back. My bs is out the roof,weight up, and can't fit into any of my clothes I could be fore I got laid off in DEc. I feel like a walking elephant right now as I type. I have to get in control, who is going to hire someone in clothes so tight they squeak????????? Great site for going on interviews in huh?. I know right now I am sick with this crud and have been for 9 weeks now, am discourgad with how much I still have to unpack from moving,but I KNOW MY HEALTH SHOULD COME FIRST, you know? And its not I don't like eatin well either, I just DONT someays. I need to get my head together agan like I once did. I once went over 200 days cheat free, I wrote it on the calendar and was so proud daily to see those check marks on each day taht I did so good.

Sorry for long post. I am not feeling sorry for myselfl, just discouraged . I have all the tools in front of me,great cookbooks,this great group, and argggggggggg. Embarassed

Thanks for letting me bend your ears,
Martha

Dinah, I just noticed that our stats are almost the same and we're almost neighbors!! I'm a little older than you but we won't talk about that. I'm weigh a tad less than you. I bet we both have adorable southern drawls.

Howdy, neighbor!!
