Hi everyone,
My name is CJ and I am going on SBD for the second time. I decided that I could "eat" anything I wanted after losing a few pounds. BIG MISTAKE. I gained back what I lost and then some. But instead of wallowing in self pity I am going for a swim again. On the beach I felt great...LOOKED great...and felt in control of my weight and emotions. Off of it I feel sad...empty...and bloated! So I decided that my goal will be losing 40 pounds in about 40 weeks. What do you think? Is that sensible? I also will be journaling my journey checking in daily. I am also going through a divorce. I've been eating out of anger. Like I'm punishing myself for feeling so much anger at my ex. But why punish myself??? I need to get myself thinner...and sexier....that will be punishment enough for HIM! Sorry if I sound a bit mean. He's a cheater and abuser. A real loser. But I am ok now. Glad to meet you again!

You remembered me! How sweet! Yes. Its been hard. It is hard. But somewhere inside no matter how hard it is you have to make the choice to control what happens to you. You decide if stress is going to kill you or are you gonna squash the stress? So I am here. It won't be easy for me dealing with emotional issues but I am going to try again. Thanks Cathy! Blessings to you :)

I just had a new grandchild on November 9th and my dd named her Carlie Hope. I asked my dd where did you get that name from she told me General Hospital.. lol I havent got to see her yet, she lives in Tennessee and Im in Florida so that is a 17 hour drive that I will be taking the week before Christmas.

Hi Lisa!
Congratulatins on the birth of you DGD! Thats such an awesome experience to hold that little life and know that she or he is directly decended from you! My friend became a GM two years ago. She's so overboard with it LOL! Always BUYING! Too cute! I hope this doesn't sound like a cop-out but I am starting this on Tuesday. I have to do three things first. I have to PURGE my cabinets of the cookies candy and chips. Next I have to SHOP and stock my fridge and pantry with the good stuff. Then I have to PLAN my menus and snacks out for the first 2 weeks. So then there will be NO mistakes. I am not real organized (who me??? Uh huh...) and if I don't have it really together I will not succeed. Thanks for posting. Take care :)
