BIG SMILE!!! Yahoo, Joyce is back!!! I knew you could do it! So happy for you...getting over that hump and feeling it come back again...good for you, Joyce...really, so happy!!! 

thank you so much Paula for believing in me, you made me smile and almost brought tears to my eyes! Really I am very touched! Yes that 'hump' almost took me all the way down, but I did wake up and look around and say to myself, "hey whats going on, Joyce?, get back into it, you have to do this for you!" I do talk to myself alot sometimes even out loud and I found that that helps me stay on track ALOT. I also noticed that when I was off woe, down, & not feeling well that I did not talk to myself, was I doing that because I was not happy with me and didn't want to converse? probably! I think I'm going to put this comment in my next journal entry for today to keep it upfront and in my face! Thanks again! Love ya! 

Hey Joyce, you know...some days...I would sit here and talk to you, and Jill, and Insaneone and a few others...in my heart! I would speak encouraging words to you. I would cheer you on and tell you to find your way back...back to a place you are most happy. We all want that. It's not so much about the numbers, or the scale, or even what you look like in a pair of jeans,...as it is about doing what is BEST for you! You sound so much more at peace, more than you have in a long time...and I am just so proud of you for recognizing that these two are connected. What you eat, how you feel about yourself, ...and how that changes with this WOE/WOL. Love you so much friend! Have a great weekend!!!
