Quick, somebody, get a rope. We need to tie Sherry to this induction wagon.

Sherry, I think you need to follow my one meal and snack at a time policy.

Just because you already blew it today, doesn't mean you should wait until

tomorrow to start. First, let me say that I would probably think and do the

same thing. BUT, just don't make the mistake of saying since you have blown

it today, you might as well " enjoy " eating the rest of today because

tomorrow you have to start over. Start making better choices with your next

meal or snack. If you give yourself permission to eat xxx the rest of

today, you are only allowing the cravings to get more firmly planted.

Hey hon... those downward spirals used to last ALOT longer than the recent ones before finding this woe dint they? Huh? sure they did! Yepper!!! un-huh!! so you are improving over your old habits/lifestyle and that is a step in the right direction no matter how I look at it, you will get there! Maybe you havent hit bottom yet... I did, and HATED that bounce off my BIG butt... but that doesnt mean that I won't have times of struggle.. that lil devil on the shoulder can wreak havoc!!! Keep listening to the good voice and ditch that lil red sucker and you will do just fine...

Sadly, Sherry, I learned the hard way that I needed to challenge myself one

meal or snack at a time. All too often I would blow one meal and then tell

myself that I had blown the entire day, after which I proceeded to blow the

entire day in a really big way. So now, I try to look at each meal or snack

as a chance to make great choices. When I blow it, I give myself a hearty

kick in the pants (yes, now that I have lost this weight I am a

contortionist) and try to do better the very next time I eat something.

I have seen you restart several times, vowing to do better, and I have been

where you are. In fact, I think I still qualify for being there. So I know

where you are coming from. Kim P and I are temporarily AWOL from the

naughty corner. When we return, and darn it, we will, I hope you aren't

there to welcome us. But if you are, we will understand all too well.

Sherry...

You are not alone! I have been trying to learn this lesson for a looong

time. I have heard people talk about starting their day over as many times a

day as needed, but boy is it hard to do. However, I know that really is the

key to success. My tomorrow's used to start on Monday's, and sometimes nexxxt

week and I guess they still would, if it was not for the help I have

received. We are really lucky to be in the company of others who so willing

to help.

Mike,

You are ohhh so right! I reread your note a few times and really let it

sink in....it is hard to stay on track (IMHO) for all my waking hours, with

every bite i take, i've got to constantly remind myself " what do i want

worse....that ice cream cone or to be a lb or 2 lighter " ....if i would

consciously ask myself that when tempted, i'd be much better for it! We

certainly are in good company...the few lbs i've lost has been a true

testament to the encouragement and help i've gotten along the way from this

dear family (all 700+ of you!!!!)

Thanks for the reminder, Mike!
