Well that is great! And you might be right about Clinton being on SBD. I had Atkins stuck in my head though because of the show.

I was , too. Very impressed. I was actually COOKING in the middle of the show and got off the computer for the night, so that's why my commentary stopped.

It was a good show, all in all.

Oh honey...I'm sorry you missed the cake!! I looked so yummy. And wait, yes, you are the Cake Queen...I'm sorry I mentioned it!! Guess I shouldn't tell you that the cutest CupCake shop opened up in my 'hood. What's better than your own personal lil'cake? Oh and to make my life even more challening...a gourmet cheese shop is opening in a month just down the road from the CupCake store.

I can't leave my home ever again.

My problem isn't that I don't know how to do it. I am just to lazy to do it, I guess. I hide so many emotional issues behind my weight and if it's not there then I have to deal with them. Yes I know this is an excuse. No one has to badger me about it. I do that enough my self. One of the hardest questions for me is "Why do you want to lose the weight?" I can't answer that question. I know why I should. I know why I don't, but I don't know why I want to lose. I know what you mean about the grocery store. I hate going in there. Stuff calls to me. On a good day I do OK, but if it's a bad day what was supposed to be just milk becomes a whole lot more. Thanks for the food guide I'll look it over. Hugs, Brenda

Hi Shawna,

I know, I saw the last part of it at least. I was out enjoying myself, and when I turned on the tv to hear that *Frances* is only a category 2 (not the huge deal you told the board) well, I settled in for a nice ice coffee and to hear what 48 hours had to say. Nothing new under the sun, really. But I caught it from the Jerad part (Subway) forward. Then I went outside to enjoy a beautiful full moon, and watch relatively calm surf. A beautiful evening, topping off a beautiful day!

Hey Brenda...I know what you mean by not knowing why you want to lose weight. For me that answer only came a couple months ago prior to that I was pretty much in denial. I knew I was fat and slowly getting worse but I'd ignore it. When I stood in front of a mirror I would focus on my face and hair, turning my body so it looked it's thinnest...pretending the belly, butt and thighs weren't really that big.

I really don't know what clicked as it didn't take a photo or snide comment from a stranger to push me I just suddenly felt that it was time to be fit again. I don't believe in BMIs...I think they're a load of crap...and though I know I should lose 100lbs I'd be happy just being healthy again.

I ate because I was bored and lonely. I live alone, I move often, my family is spread out over Canada, US and UK. Because I move often I don't let people in too far - afraid of being hurt - and as for men...I'm good for a laugh but I keep telling myself I'm fat, why would anyone want to be with me? I never thought I was good enough. That attitude is changing...slowly...and it's a painful process but I'm getting there.

I know everyone here has different issues, emotions and problems but it all comes down to believing and loving yourself.

Brenda, every post I've seen from you on here is supportive and kind - you offer strength to complete strangers...why not turn that strength onto yourself. You're beautiful.

Have a lovely day!

Hugs

Lisa, Thanks for the rah-rahs. I always need them. I wish I could just get focused. I've looked in the mirror and thought OhGross, but that doesn't seem to matter.

Hugs, Brenda
