I can't believe how flaky I am with getting on here, weighing in & sharing my progress (& lack of it) with all of my dear FS friends. I'm sorry, & am also so thankful that I'm not alone in this boat! I'm down to 253.8, so at least my absence wasn't due to failing in my healthy choices. Life just gets in the way sometimes, of some of the things we'd really like to do. This group needs to be a high priority for me though, so I need to work on this. I hope all of you, my dear friends, are in good health & doing well with your food choices & weight loss. I look forward to the upcoming Holiday Season with both joy & dread, but I know with the Lord's help & yours we can all make it through this time with at least no significant weight gains, & even with joy in finding new recipes for yummy healthy foods that fit our new lifestyle. We just need to prepare in advance, & purpose in our hearts & minds to stay committed, & not give in or give up, no matter what. That's easy enough, right? I'm getting all fired up here ~ bring it on! YEAH! ;)
PS ~ I wanted to share this funny poem that was posted on my craft group. I think we can all relate to this ~
I'll Start My Diet Monday
Oh my stomach's growling,
My mouth is dry,
If only I could have
Just one little piece of pie!
Everyone's in bed,
They're all sound asleep.
I sneak into the kitchen,
Tiptoe without a peep.
Up goes my hand,
Off goes the cover,
Just one little piece. . . . . .
Well, maybe another,
Three pieces later ,
All that's left is an empty tray.
Oh well,
I can start my diet Monday!
~ I'm glad we've ALL learned better than to think like this for real, but it is a cute picture of how our minds can play such silly tricks on us, & even make this thinking seem very sensible & "right". Let's not fall for it this Holiday Season! ~~~ LOVE n HUGZ, GLAMMER

Haha, you've been reading my mail! That poem could be the story of how I rationalize my eating habits. Well, it used to be that way anyway. Great loss. Keep it up!

Thank you all so much for your encouragement. I've been feeling daunted by how slow the weight is coming off, even though I'm trying hard to "be good". My sweet Hubby made me feel better by reminding me of how far I've come. I weighed about 285 when I started losing this time, before starting with FS. So I've lost about 30 pounds so far. I still have about 55 pounds to lose, but my past success makes that seem not quite so bad. I know that healthy eating is to be a lifelong habit & not focused on weight loss, But every food choice we make does affect our weight. Remembering that helps making good choices easier. The weight I've lost is the direct result of the good choices I've made, so as long as I keep making more good choices than poor ones, the weight will come off. Does that make sense? Maybe I'm over-analyzing it?

Yes, Glammer, that does make sense. No, you aren't over-analyzing. Believe me, you couldn't even guess the "over the top" stuff I have worked on to lose in the past:) Since being on FS I have done it the right way, except sometimes going too low on cals.
