This is one of those days where you can conquer the world. Today is gonna be that kind for me. I'm gonna make my plan and stick to it. I've started on my water already and had a Naturade Soy drink for breakfast. Looking forward to another shake for lunch and a wonderful dinner this evening. I'll be glad when the day comes that I'm not consumed with what I'm going to eat from one minute to the next! Love all you guys ... gonna read some diaries and some motivational stuff. Talk at ya later. Cynthia

I can truly relate to what you say. I eat breakfast and 15 minutes later I?m thinking about lunch. Yes, I would call this a disease. The only difference is you can?t sneak around and hide, because eventually it all comes to show and in not so good places, most times. I have been divorced for almost 10 years and I am also looking for that ?special? someone. But I have no self esteem, because of my appearance, I?m not doing much to find him, unless some stranger walks up to my door like the UPS man or someone. j/k. I hope you have continued success, stay strong! IP

Hey Yall (Can you tell I'm from the South?) Yesterday went well! Last night, I'm not even gonna discuss. Matter of fact I'll try to forget it even happened.
For breakfast this morning I had a biscuit and gravy, 3 sausage patties AND hash brown potatoes. Needless to say, it's lunch time, I'm not hungry but my thoughts are still "what am I gonna eat"?
Who knows if I'll get thru this or not ... I'm kinda feeling "or not". I am SUCH a hypocrite. I know what to do and why I oughta do it ... I just won't make myself behave. I think I think my "time" is running out. I've been married and divorced twice. Single for the past 6 years. Don't really care that I'm not married ... I'm not rushing that but I would like to have a "special" someone. Know what I mean? Anyway ... I'm rattling ... hopefully I'll come back out here sometime today and make a more coherent posting.
You guys have a great day.
Ok it's 1:02 and I'm still focused ... believe it or not for me that is a tremendous victory!!!! Why am I feeling like a winner today? I don't know but I just wish I could hold on to this feeling forever. I feel like running ... maybe it's because I have not bogged myself down with a ton of food already. Something I could easily do at any time of the day. I'm looking forward to going home and either workin gout in the gym or walking or something!!!! I'm about ready to run up out of here but I've got a few more hours yet. Have a great rest of the day!!!!

If you want to lose weight, you can. All you have to do is believe in yourself and your strength. If you eat good one day and do a lil workout, in that one day you can find strength, and freedom. It feels so good to say "I have control" I would suggest finding a diet plan that works for you. My fav. is Weight Watchers. you get to eat what you want.. but it teaches you how to eat right, and in small portions. Also having to weigh in every week makes me stick to it.. bc i feel like i have to answer to someone.. but it feels great to lose, and eveyone there is so supportive.
I know you can do it, you just have to believe it too. I hope your day goes wonderfully, and thank you for your comment, it made my day so much better...
much love!!

OK, hi everybody. This is one of those days when I decided OK I'm a real slob Lord and I need YOU to help me or I'm not gonna make it. I consult the internet for every thing. Any questions I have I go straight to the internet, it's easy and most times accurate. So, in my state of oppression/depression I decided to consult the internet for a scripture to GUIDE me today! Then, I rethought it. I said "no I'm just gonna go to the bible and see if I can just be directed to a scripture or scriptures that will help me TODAY!!!" Just TODAY ... I need to make it thru TODAY! So, (and believe me I'm not one who practices the mystical or magical but, I DO believe in the power of God) so,I open my bible and I've already said to myself "I don't feel like searching thru here forever Lord, I just want to be directed to a message that's gonna help me get thru TODAY! I do one of these "let me just open up the pages and the message falls out starting with my name"!
OK, OK, I don't wanna lose you (I can sometimes lose myself cause I ramble, I even ramble when I write!) so, I open up my little book and it falls open to Psalms (actually I did purposely pick the Psalms, just not a particular Psalm) so after opening to Psalms I started reading the first book I fell upon ... Psalms 146 ... well, it wasn't just eye popping directed right at me but the words were cool so I kept reading, just as I was about to accept that this was an OK message for me and decided that I would just finish up this last verse out pops the ending message (I believe it was JUST FOR ME TODAY!!) Psalms 146:7 "He upholds the cause of the oppressed and GIVES FOOD TO THE HUNGRY. The Lord sets prisoners free..." Hallelujah, there was MY message!
I had been telling my girlfriend all week that I felt like I was bound in chains to be a glutton. I kept saying that I wanted to be set free from my reckless compulsion to overeat.
Again, for whatever reason however it happened I'm glad it did ... I'm going to post that verse up and remember that God spoke to me this day and that he will give me strength to deal with this thing ... God bless you all and I look forward to reading diaries and posting comments.

I love your attitude. I couldnt do anything without my God's love and strength. I have come so far, away from a bad relationship, and losing weight, and loving myself.. all through his glory. Only thing that keeps me going sometimes. Just pray for strength and he will always give it to you. Stay strong, and much love!
