When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks. Bob Dylan

HANG IN THERE NINA!

I don't know about you, but some days I just feel like giving up..... watching what we eat, sometimes even portion control if the restriction is not there yet, exercising, the band rules............   But guys, don't give up, because at least we have already lost some weight, and we only have the rest to lose, imagine where we would be if we had never started this journey!!   I hope you are inspired by the quote below:     "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." By Harriet Beecher Stowe

JESSIE AHRONI

No liquid calories (except up to 2 servings non fat milk) No soft foods (after the healing phase) XX grams of protein (based on your ideal body weight) (I aim for 60) Eat the protein first, then the vegetables Avoid high glycemic index foods (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc) 20-25 grams of fiber (fruits, vegetable, beans, whole grains) No carbonated beverages 6-8 glasses of fluid daily Do not drink with your meals or 1 hour after eating No carbonated beverages Slow down, chew your food, take tiny bites, cut things up Build up to exercising 30 minutes or more almost every day Eat real food Eat a balanced diet from a wide variety of foods 2 fruits, 3 veg, 6 oz protein, 2 NF milk, 5 grains Have fun You only need to eat every 4 hours No negative self talk Practice mindful eating Pay attention to what you are eating, read the labels Use a small plate 3 oz of protein and 1/2 cup veg is a meal Follow most of the guidelines most of the time Just because you can doesn't mean you should If you want to be 130 pound person you have to eat like 130 pound person You can't measure it if you don't manage it Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels Don't eat cheap meat, don't date cheap women You don't get to just eat what's easy Failing to plan is planning to fail Don't eat crap I'd rather be thin than eat that Keep your eyes on your own plate I'm watching what I eat so you don't have to Hang out with successful people No whining - or at least not much, not often Stop, breathe, reflex, chose It's all about choices Simplicity, patience, compassion Simple in actions and in thoughts Patients with both friends and enemies Compassionate toward yourself and others If it's not broken, don't fix it Trust it or adjust it Don't try to polish a turd Is that an excuse or a reason? What do you really want? What do you really need? The answer to my problems is not in the cupboard/refrigerat or/freezer Calories in, calories out Eat less, exercise more Distract yourself from food Perfect isn't good enough Let it be Never say I can't If you get the chance to sit it out or dance: dance, dance, dance! Keep the BS tolerance meter set at zero Don't blow smoke up my skirt Honesty, responsibility, commitment, inner strength I am responsible for the choices I make I don't need to have an opinion on every thing What would I have to do to make this different? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result =insanity Even crazy people deserve a chance to be thin

2/7 LUVLIF

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.   What is it you would let go of today?"   - Mary Manin

bette blackwell

Bette Blackwell when someone told her she could never have been fat. My first thought was, "Why on earth would anyone CLAIM to be that pretty unhappy, unhealthy, severely obese person if they weren't?" Then I realized that hey - when I look at some of the most recent photos, sometimes *I* don't recognize the "new me" as me.   I told the group that there I times when I FORGET that I'm not in the body of the person I was in almost 2 years ago. That I was standing in line waiting for a stall in the ladies' room last week, looked in the mirror and thought, "WHOA! That's ME!" That I honestly forget sometimes, when I'm not looking in the mirror, that the fat lady, on the outside, anyway, is gone. There's this still-strange-to-me skinny lady, with new-found cheekbones, collarbones and shoulder blades, and thin, almost dainty wrists, living here now.   It's not easy, though. The fat girl still lives here, and she fights with the skinny girl every day. She wants to eat when she's bored, tired, angry, lonely, sad, happy . . . hell, even horny sometimes. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this isn't easy. It's a constant battle between the two of them. Most days, skinny girl wins, but not always. Those moments of defeat are the moments when I find myself looking into my reflection in the water in the loo once again. The flesh may be weak, but the spirit is always unbroken, and I'll get back up and fight again.   Jeez. This is getting far too deep and philosophical for me. It's time for a long bubble bath and then, bedtime.

"I believe"

"I believe"   I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.   I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.   I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.   I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.   I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.   I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.   I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.   I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.   I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.   I believe - That regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.   I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.   I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.   I believe - That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.   I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.   I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.   I believe - That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.   I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.   I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.   I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.   I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.   I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.   I believe - That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.   I believe - That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.   I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.   I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.   I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.   I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

BEFORE & AFTER

"So many dreams at first seem impossible. And then they seem improbable. And then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable." Christopher Reeve   The Body Achieves what the Mind Believes Nothing tastes as good as getting to goal feels! Desire is the missing element for most of the people who fail.
