Re: Annie One More Pound

[Guest guest]

Annie,

That is wonderful! I know what you mean about that hovering. For me it

is 200. Three times I got to 284 and 3 times now I have gotten close to

200 and this last time actually got under for about a week. Now for the

last year or so I have been going from 206 to 216, 218 at times. I'm

just getting over the flu though and strange as it may sound, am hoping

that will get things going again. Just have to keep trying. We can do

this!!!! Like you said, since you know food is a problem when you are

feeling stressed then the important thing is one acknowledging that and

then learning from it like finding non food ways to deal with stress.

Coming here and reading posts is good for that. :-)
