Well....

You can sit next to Rick in the front and he will duck tape your backside to

the seat and pinch you....<grin>...then when he takes everyone else to Dairy

Queen you get thrown in the back and covered with hay...which does not taste

like Dairy Queen. I also think he lets sit on you...<grin>

Or..

You can see what's been happening in your life the last few weeks that might

have you craving more food.....

When I need to get back on track I do a couple of things

I drink loads of water.

I try to eliminate one meal a day for a day or two or try grazing all day

long on very small meals frequently....either one to limit the food that day.

I

severly limit carbs during this time concentrating on foods with more healthy

fat in them to keep me full.

I increase my exercise but try to do it in a fun way....not on the

dreadmill.....

I avoid the road that goes by Dairy Queen.

Deb: I did this to myself over the holidays & I vow never to do it

again--it is so very very hard to get off that slippery slope!

What I did was just stop the overeating! I went back to how I started

in the very beginning & folowed the trail all over again. 'when I

thought back to how I started I realized that I had been eating many

more veggies & had somehow slacked off on that so I started preparing

these early in the day & making sure I was stuffed with them before

eating anything else. You may have used similar tricks to gain

control--think about what you did.

Is there any particular food that is calling your name or just a general

too many calories type of thing? Be prepared for a few days of

hunger--I just thought of it as a sign that I was getting back my

control.

I have increased my exercise................I am a vegan (for me it

gives me better control), and I seem to have developed a mad lust for

dry roasted peanuts and sugar-free peanut butter.

The eating started when I went out of town. I am trying to start a

new business, and how I will get insurance. Any way the town I was

in had such a wonderful supply of healthy-vegan food. Well when you

eat too much of anything it ceases to be healthy..................I

do think this eating is the result of my anxieties about my work life.

I will try drinking more water.

As I mentioned to a previous poster I have developed a mad lust for

dry roasted peanuts and sugar-free peanut butter. I am a vegan, which

works for me and gives me the best control.................

I think it is a great idea to go back to how I started. It is much

too hard to get back on the slope when you fall off.................I

don't like feeling out of control.
