And, it sounds like you did great! Congrats! ) PS... Loved how the dogs ate your pizza! LOL. I got to really love taking note of the " distractions " God sent me last year to keep me from overeating! The one time, i was at our family reunion, and I'd taken a plate full of munchies (beer nuts, cheesies, etc), even though I wasn't hungry. Well, out-of-the-blue, I dropped it on the ground! I didn't mean to, nor was I bumped by anyone! I just --for some silly, unexplained reason-- dropped it! And, it all went in the grass! I laughed, and mentally said, " Funny, Lord! " -- and took it as a sign that I should be waiting for TRUE hunger! LOL. :-P >> I am starting to feel empowered. *** Whoohoo! :-) Jenn <>< Books Read: http://mizbooksreads.blogspot.com Faith Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unshakablefocus Healthy Eating: http://intuitive-eating.blogspot.com Wishlist: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/mizbooks94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Thanks for the words of encouragement. I have put it in the basement but I haven't been able to completely get rid of it. When I did weigh myself this morning (*gasp*) I did find I had lost a couple of pounds. I am pretty proud of myself.

And, even the IE book says this is true! So, it's tricky to find out where that " point " is where you're hungry, and you KNOW it, without actually getting *too* hungry. But, you'll get it. It *does* come. ;o) Jenn <>< PS... RE: the bloating, etc... have you been to see your doctor about that, yet? I really think it'd be a good idea, since you seem to be pretty concerned.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Jenn, Thanks for the response. As far as going to the doctor goes, I can't afford to right now because I have no health insurance and my son is having problems with his knees which we are doctoring for and I want to save any money I need for him so we can get these issues corrected.
