Well Thank You Amy!!....I really appreciate your sharing with me.....about what we have in common........it's nice to know I am not alone in this "journey" .......but so far, I am having a really slow start to actually being on my journey..........all this food logging is REALLY time consuming and I don't see how anyone can spend this much time on the computer keeping track of everything...............and I haven't even been tracking excercise since I haven't started that yet! Right now, I am sort of down about all this.......I just don't see how I can eat less than 2000 calories a day without being hungry all the time............and I know from experience, if I am hungry, I EAT.
I mean, I just feel like a car with an empty gas tank.......like I don't have enough fuel to be able to function.........unless I eat when I feel hungry. I try to eat every four hours during the day......so my blood sugar will be more even and I won't eat as much. If I wait much longer than that, then I go into "starvation mode" and I EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!
I am proud of myself for spending time every day since my OFFICIAL START (Jan 15, 2007) spending at least some time thinking about all this and trying to track my food intake.......at least I am doing something.......and that's better than doing nothing (or rather, not even thinking about it at all.)
I hope my depression and discouragment about all this will lift when I begin to excercise and hopefully see some results. I know it's like the Nike commercial.....I have to "Just Do It"..............but it is SO COLD and I hate the thought of walking in it.......and I cannot afford a gym membership right now......well, here's a thought, I live right in front of the High School and every evening they let people come in and walk the hallways....out of the cold.......I even tried that last year, but got discouraged because even the elderly little old men and women were whizzing right on by me......and no-one even said "Hi"..........
sorry, but I guess I am just really down right now. I do REALLY APPRECIATE that you took the time to write.....thank you for the encouragement....

I have not been working the program due to a lovely stomach monster which probably caused me to lose wt anyhow. The doggie has been good company. At least I get out 3 times a day to walk her. I am feeling better now and must go back to holding off on spurging. I hate having to go past the cookie aisle. Call me anytimme. Luv, Alice 5156 days ago
