Hello!

I overslept this morning...missed breakfast. For lunch, I had left over chili with brown rice and sweet peas, and a cup of soy milk. I love it! Dinnner will probably be turkey burgers, whole grain bread, and some kind of veggies. Right now, I'm going to drink my green tea extract (I mix it in a cup of orange juice...add some ice cubes... and I pretend that it is a mimosa!) LOL I'll check back later. ***Hugs***

Keeyah,

It's really great that you recognize that just because you have a bad day, doesn't mean it's the end of the world. I hope today was better for you. I know exactly what you went through the other day because I've done that so many times myself. We have to stop beating ourselves up for being human. I've been my own worst enemy for way too long.

Some good advice I got the other day...You can eat whatever you want, as long as it is what you want. Don't fill your stomach with foods you don't enjoy. Get this, we went to McD's a few weekends ago because I was "starving" and needed to eat. Let me tell you, I don't think I will ever eat there again. I did not enjoy it. I realized it really didn't taste all that good.

I didn't eat much today. Too much stress at work. I did go to water aerobics and burned off some stress though! :o)

I was getting off the elevator to go into the gym (it's at a hospital) and these three drunks were on the elevator. Looked like they were going to another floor. One of the women started to follow me and the other said, "don't follow that fat ass". I wanted to turn around and tell the drunk "this fat ass is going to the gym. Where are you going, detox?" But I just held my head high and walked into the gym. Still hurts though. I am trying to remember not to take things personally because the issue lies with that person. My skin isn't thick enough yet to just let comments like that slide.

Speaking of books, I've written enough! Looking forward to a great day tomorrow!

(((hugs)))

Thank you so much, Chris. Yesterday was a better day for me. I felt more in control at work, and I ate a healthy breakfast and lunch. Dinner wasn't bad either, but it could have been better. Your advice makes a lot of sense, and I will try to keep it in mind for the future. It's so important to enjoy what we put in our mouthes, and not just to eat if we really don't want to. I hope the stress level at your job decreases. But, it's so good that you are doing something positive for your body when you feel stressed out. Water aerobics sounds wonderful! Chris, I agree with you that it hurts when people make rude comments. They really are the ones with the problem. If they really felt good about themselves, they wouldn't feel the need to make someone else feel badly. Your positive attitude is what will help you to continue on the road to better health. Go, Chris!!! Have a great day today! ****Hugs****
