Taking baby steps is going pretty good. I've joined an awesome online group. I've been honest with myself when tracking calories. I've recently started to tell people of my goal to lose weight or go under the knife. I'm off to a good start.

Yesterday, while at work, I passed on 2 cupcakes, a Little Debbie snack, and Goldfish crackers. Today, my husband got 2 large Pizza Hut pizzas. I did not eat one bite. I didn't even take a peek...but damn they smelled delicious.

1 - Be grateful for EVERYTHING in your life... the good, bad, ugly... find something to be grateful for. If you focus on the good things, you don't have time to think about the crap around you.

2 - Faith...when you hit that ugly, dark, bottom of the barrel you need something to pull you out. The Bible is that for me...New Testament...great stuff.

3 - One good, long cry never hurt anyone.

4 - One good, small cocktail never hurt anyone... but never put your drink together w/the long cry...they… Continue

When a smoker decides to stop smoking they remove cigarettes from their lives. When an alcoholic decides to stop drinking they remove alcohol from their lives. The first thing these addicts do is remove all the cigarettes or alcohol from their home.

When a person has an eating disease they cannot remove all food from their lives. Food cannot just be removed and avoided. At least three times a day we need to face our addiction, making sure to take just a little bit of our "drug". Can a smoker ta… Continue
