Thank you all for the prayers

I just want to take a moment and thank you all for the prayers and to tell you that I am leaving in the moring to go spend time with mom and dad and help mom. I thank you all for the prayers and my son in law called to apologize for being selfish and ask me to please come down. So my bags are packed I don't know how long I will be there but I will be there and as soon as I get home again I will post to you all I have missed my friends here on the board. Keep my family in your prayers and know I will be thinking of all of you without your support and prayers I would be so lost hugs  sharon/queenb2009

I think we all are our own worst enemies at times.Sorry you had a rough moment.I do understand about those stupid old habits popping back into our life's.I've been fighting them as well.I have been sitting here having many thoughts of food myself.None of which are healthy choices.I won't list them! Yes -we all still have alot of work to do.But at least now we are to do our freedom ride together,as we face what is needed to be done for each of us to reach our goals.

Emotional Eating

Hmmm, I liked typing in green.  Oh Vell! 

This was a hard day.  I'm getting a little stressed out because school's about to start and the kids need to have their dentist and eye dr. appts.  I need mine too plus some. I still have a ton of stuff to do around the house (does it ever stop???) and, well, you get what I mean.

 

So, I'm stressed and a little depressed.  Then the dryer went out and we had to get a new one and this was AFTER I had spent a small fortune on a new computer.  If I had known the dryer was going to quit, I wouldn't have bought this expensive computer (which is WAY kewl but still.). 

 

At least instead of eating unmentional food I went to Applebees and had a WW meal.  It was good and filling and helped. 

 

So my strategy for making through the tough times today was to go ahead and eat, but at least eat something healthy and that wouldn't throw me off my plan.  Worked today and maybe tomorrow will be better.

 

THANKS for the welcome and as I get to know everyone better I can respond better to everything going on.  My thoughts and warm fuzzies go out to all of us on this journey together.  WE CAN DO IT!

CAN SOMEONE HELP

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT "LOG OUT" AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE MEANS, IT IS TO THE LEFT OF "MY PROFILE".  I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ACTUAL USE OF IT - WHEN I CLICKED IT I WENT THROUGH TO MY USERNAME AND HAD TO GIVE MY PASSWORD AGAIN ????  NOT SURE WHEN ONE WOULD USE THIS.

 

ONE NICE THING ABOUT THIS NEW REVISED BOARD, WE ARE ALL LEARNING SOMETHING NEW.

 

EVERYONE HAVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE SUNDAY.  HUGS, SHIRLEY
