Hi Linda, I love hearing how in tune and relaxed/at ease/flexible you are with feelings and your body. It gives me something to be hopeful about. Glad the girls are doing great!

Lol- I had to write you since your post just made me snort with laughter! Ha on the â€œbingeing and purgingâ€ of stuff. I totally do this too, but never quite thought of it that way.

Linda,

Congratulations on getting closer to your goals! The 150â€™s sound awesome!!

Sorry that your treat turned out not to be worth it, but hopefully the discomfort didnâ€™t I last too long.

Hope this next fast brings you lots of energy and peace!

Lol- I like the blatherings.

Oolala, Just caught up on your board and glad to see you are getting around with your injury.

Hi Linda, Ugh. I'm sorry to hear about your pain when exercising. I'm sure its super-frustrating.

Oolala, Itâ€™s nice to hear from you. Thanks for asking after my family. We continue to put one foot in front of the other to find a new â€œnormalâ€.

Hi All, The day after my last post, our family suffered a tragedy and loss of a very dear loved one and I stopped posting.

Hi, Just wanted to say that I LOVE Kettlebell workouts, I just can no longer do them due to a back problem. I never used a trainer, but have a video that was for beginners that I use to really enjoy. It's called Ultimate Kettlebell Workouts for beginners by Paul Katami. https://www.amazon.com/Ultima...

Ah ha- it was you who I was talking with about the Leslie Sansome videos! She just keeps coming up on our threads and I think she is great-surprisingly harder work than I remembered. Anyway, just remembered that it was you, so thought I'd stop by to "dish".

Hope you are having a Happy N Day today!

Oolala, All of your research has paid off. I think you are right on the mark with this one. At times in my life, I ate this way and was 50lbs lighter. Food was so enjoyable and was special (especially dinner) and hunger didn't seem like a big deal because I knew what I had waiting for my next meal w...

Brocky, I'm sorry about the the rough go you've had recently. However, you continued on with No S and posting, even when it's been most difficult for you- that is the definition of success to me!

Hi Tracey,

Sorry to hear about your discouraging week. I just had one of those days today and was just proud of myself for not letting a small fail turn into a WTH day.

Any reason why you think you might be struggling with this?

worth it

LOL! By the way, I didn't sense much defensiveness in your post. I'm also fascinated by naturally skinny cultures and the quest to understand what the "secret" is (that reduces their struggle). At any rate, I wanted to say that sometimes we just need to "obsess" over the little things in our immedia...

OK! I'm really liking the idea of planning the exercise time around life vs. the other way around.

Oolala, My thoughts were of streaming consciousness, so apologize if not fully clear. What I mean by self care is to continue my habits (meditation and) of No S rather than dabble in other diets. Basically, I want to be faithful to myself and my decision and to live fully in that choice no matter ho...

Hi Oolala, I spent a little time reading through your thread. The theory of confidence in eating is a hot button for me right now, and I was sad to see that you have lost confidence in your old way of eating. I also noticed that you haven't been writing about food with much joy/pleasure lately, but ...

Hi CEO, Wanted to check in on you and say hi. For me, the scale is EXTREMELY triggering, so I commend you for not having the dr's weigh-in turn into a WTH day.
