Hi Shaunna,

I was beginning to wonder if you had gone off of the face of the earth and I

think we all struggle with old food habits from time to time. I try to eat

as low fat as possible, but after a while I need something that is not

necessarily low fat, but try to be really careful with those choices and

have done all right.

I was told by my dietician to eat as normally as possible and just use

common sense.

HELLO EVERYONE!!!! Important Question.

HI EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

I have so missed you guys... SO MUCH! I pray everyone is doing great with

their weight loss and did great through the holiday with their families. We

are on our way to a new year and to so many new opportunities and for some

of us some wonderfully new ones since the weight loss.

I would first like to apologize that as a Moderator I have not really been

on like I need to be, so I am sorry to Robyn and . You have all been

such wonderful friends to me and I say thanks for you more often then you

all know. It really shows when I do not come here to give and recieve

support. I just want to say THANK YOU and thank you and Robyn for

being patient with me.

Now, I have an important question for those who struggle with this too,

which will probably be most of the board. I have been dealing with many

things going on in my life from my school work, my children school and

homework, my kids activities, my own social life (WHEN i have one lol),

etc... I am sure you know where I am going on this, how the heck do you

balance it all and take care of yourself? I am having an EXSTREMELY

difficult time with this.

I have a list of foods I can pick from through each meal on my fridge, I

am going to get me a good planner and do my damndest to set a schedule. It

is hard to break old habits I tell ya. Any other ideas of how to organize

your life and take care of yourself? All is appreciated!!

Many of you know me and what I have on my plate since my mother's death,

this last 2 months have been my time finally facing that death and the

Holidays. With my focus on me mentally, I have had to set aside my physical

side. I just have not been focused at all. It's hard when there is so much.

Well, I had the best holiday's yet since my mother's death, so thank you for

those who inquired about me. I just wanted to focus on my kids this year and

that is part of the reason I have not focused on me. I don't regret it and

my kids are happier then ever and so am I. Everything is starting to fall

into place for me.

SO NOW! I need to get back on track. I need all of you here. It's hard

when my schooling is done online because this last 2 weeks vacation I got

from school, left me wanting to just stay off the computer and focus again

on my family.

Anyways, I was wondering how everyone is doing and how they plan on going

into the new year, I will be reading as many posts as I can today for the

last week. I know I have missed much, but I will do my best to stay on track

here on out. You guys are busy bodies here LOL!. Glad to see it though. This

is a fantastic group.

Thank you for your support through out this year and for the year to come.

I look forward to sharing so much more with all of you.

Best Wishes,

Shauna

Thanks Lin, I don't think it's so much of what I am eating, I am doing pretty

good... it's making the time to balance taking in exercise, water, vitamins, and

handling everything else in my day. I was not used to focusing on myself, so

after the surgery, all I did was focus on that, now I am trying to balance

everything and it has shown to be very difficult for me, I just need to figure

out what works for me.
