Your Dorothy and Toto is amazing. You have a lot of talent. Considering I can hardly draw a stick person, I'm really impressed. . . and in the pic below with your nephew-you look beautiful! I hope you look in the mirror and see the same thing!

Sounds like a good plan!mimi wrote:You go girl! Sounds like you're getting a pretty good handle on what works for you! Yesterday we had a little going away party for one of our teachers. I thought about staying strictly "vanilla" and not partaking at all...then I thought about all the "explaining" I would have to do and how much they would "push" the stuff on me...so I took a little bit of everything - but not enough to hurt - and decided it could be an "S event." The rest of the afternoon and evening my NoS went on as usual. By making that decision I think I headed off some "stinkin thinkin" that might have resulted from "poor me", I can't eat anything...and then binged later on. I was happy with my decision and counted the day yellow.

Lol, that was a funny post... I remember that. Hopefully this time if I really lose weight, I'll be able to keep it off. I was living with my in-laws before and now that I am the head-chef of my household, I feel A LOT more in control. It's great!StrawberryRoan wrote:Nicole, just wanted to say that I read every word of your "journal". Had to smile when I read (way back there) that your undies were getting loose but it was okay to say so as nobody was reading.
You sound delightful and I wish you much luck with your marriage, job and life in general.
Continued good health to you,
SR
Yesh, that's the plan - and I'll keep your post in my mind to keep me in line so I can tell you tomorrow that I did it!mimi wrote:Yes - have that piece of cake - but make sure to stop at one piece! I have been trying to do that because in the long run I know that this has to be a lifestyle that I can maintain for the rest of my life. Nothing else I've tried has met that criteria!

Also, here's my MAY HABIT CAL: http://everydaysystems.com/habitcal/vie ... ExercisingNichole wrote:Ew, I ate canned Chicken Noodle Soup (Cambell's) and it has not agreed with me, yuck...... And it tasted pretty nasty. I didn't have enough romaine or any chicken to make a salad or sandwich for lunch, so I had to get something from 7-11 when I got my skim milk for the week. Blah!
I would never do Vanilla no-s. I have tried it before. I get that starved feeling between lunch and dinner - that is not a good feeling to me! Plus I exercise at least a half hour 5 days a week, sometimes 6. So I do 3 meals and a snack. I avoid Ses on the weekend b/c I go crazy and I find it counter productive. But I do treat myself about once a week. And it works, I've been losing about a pound a weekmimi wrote:Maybe like doing Vanilla No-S at the very beginning...make one addition/change, try it for 21 days, and see what happens. Then make further adjustments as needed, one by one? I don't know...I've lost weight countless times before, but have never been able to maintain it.
Awesome!!! It's sooo good.mimi wrote:I forgot to tell you Nicole that I made your mother-in-law's Tuna Quiche over the weekend and my lttle granddaughter ate TWO helpings of it! She called it *tuna pie* - BTW I liked it too! Thanks for sharing!
