Introduction Text "You'd better like yourself, because you're the only person who has to live with you every second of every day for the rest of your life." --I don't know who said that. Maybe I made it up.

*Find balance with work, family, and my own physical, mental, and emotional needs. *Recognize and appreciate the good things in my life. *Be happy.

*Eat REAL food as needed, without obsessing over it. *Take a walk when the weather's nice. *Get a good night's sleep every night. *Realize what a lucky person I am every day. I have a wonderful husband, a loving family, a job I love, enough money to live without worry, and I like myself.

I live away from home in a commuter apartment during the week, walk (only about 1/2 mile) to work, and work 12 hour days at a desk job. I have little time to cook and have to eat out (meetings) ALL the time. It's a challenge to keep things in check, but now that I feel settled into my job I am ready to take off the 8 pounds that I gained since I started and about 60 more! lol

I set a goal of 120 to see if I can get into my normal BMI range. I don't know if that's possible, but I seem to have a different mindset these days - food isn't controlling me - so we'll see what happens. I was just on this website with a macros calculator for "most efficient weight loss". I don't know what I think about this, and I am a carb-lover, but the calculations don't seem super insane. I could still eat bread lol. 1441 calories (in my spark range of 1200-1550) 108 g Protein (30%) 69 g Fat (43%) 97 g Carbs (27%) 28 g Fiber So it differs from spark in that it shifts calories from carbs to fat. I may give this a try. Not sure....
