Re: Holiday HELP

[Guest guest]

Don't beat yourself up for one binge.

Just " fuggetaboutit " and start fresh tomorrow

with no guilt -- or else, if you are like me,

you will eat because of guilt.

Let that be history and start a new future tomorrow --

you have come too far to throw it all away now.

We're here for you,

I have to agree with Joanie here. Just dust yourself off and start fresh.

We have all done it and we have all paid for it as well, so just keep

telling yourself that it will be all right and just don't have it around the

house.

Yeup cleaned out the house last night. I have started

with oatmeal and now my protein drink. So I am on

track so far this morning.

Thanks for responding to my post.

I just keep telling myself nothing tastes as good as thin feels. :-)

When I see myself in the mirror or am able to go buy smaller

clothes...it reminds me to stay on track to continue losing. And I try

to keep healthy things around...soy crisps, etc to snack on if I really

can't resist the urge.

, You have it so right with that saying. Nothing tastes as good as

thin feels!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday I went to a convention where I saw

lots of my old friends, who have not seen me since surgery. They did

not even know it was me. My mother was with me and she of course still

looks the same, so they would see her and ask about me, like where was

I? I was standing right next to her!! I also had friends come up and

say I haven't met you yet, and I would have to say " Yes you have " and

once they heard my voice, their jaws dropped to the floor!!! What a

feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even describe it. It is so

weird because when I look in the mirror I don't think I look that

different, but I guess I do. Take care, in CA

There's a couple of brands at Costco. The Ranch flavored Gensoy

Potato soy crisps in a 22oz bag for $7 are the most crispy.

Hummus is chickpea and sesame seed paste with flavorings

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummus It comes in many flavors. I have

garlic and chive and tomatoe and basil in my fridge. It was buy one

get one at Meijer last week.

I remember as one of the Weight Watcher quotes. I

also say that...I was folding clothes today and said

to myself I do not want all of these big clothes

anymore. I am telling myself and concentrating on

today that it will be okay and I will stay on track.

One saying I remember:

" If you don't take care of your body - where will you live? "

Think about it - live has so many different meanings.

Yeah Meijer and other stores around here have horrible deals on it

with it being $3 for 3.5oz or so. That's almost a buck an ounce. Get

it bulk and you get $6-$7 for 20 or so ounces. Now that's a deal!

My family loves them too so it's not just for wls patients.

colored like their flavors...tomatoe basil is reddish orange and

garlic herb is sort of pale orange.
