BuffyBear's Journal, 17 Jun 13

Sounds like a perfect plan. No sense crying over spilled carbs - LOL! Keep focusing on the positive going forward!  

Sandy - I'll try to always keep that in mind. Am off now for a walk. Hope I remember how it is done.  

One day or meal or bite at a time, my friend, with each being a new chance to start again! Thinking of you! xoxox 

It is difficult going to parties. I went nowhere so I had no problems. I am not close to my family members, so I don't get invited anywhere but maybe Christmas Eve and this year I am not going, I will stay home... hopefully I will be moved by then - December 1.  

Buffy sweetie..don't be too hard on your self..you are human..I do know how you feel..it is soo hard for me to keep it under control when I am with my family..I try but gosh those goodies are every where..and doing with out for soo long just does me in..So hang in there sweetie..you can do this..Just gotta wrap your head around it..thats all..Hugs...:O) 

Ruth - you are always so positive. Enjoy your evening. 

Glenn - I realize my situation is different than yours, but still I have to find a way to deal with temptation.  

Bren - I always appreciate your encouragement - and need it. There is still an apple pie sitting on in my kitchen counter.  

One day at a time, Buffy. I'm doing it along with you. 

Buffy - we all do. I live alone. My uncle did not lose weight (I don't know him that well) my mother said until my aunt (my mom's sister) stopped buying the cookies and junk food. He lost over 100 lbs. It took a year or two. They go for a mile walk every morning at a park. They are retired. I realize as I live alone there's no need for there to be cake or pie or potato chips around. If I lived with kids, I would surely have a horrible time trying to cut calories when kids can devour them and sometimes not gain (now the kids are inactive so they're bloating up - and on top of it the parents don't get strict with food).  

Heather - Great to have such a worthy partner! 

Glenn - 100 pounds - good for him! You should be so proud of your uncle.  

Hi Buffy! I must start watching carbs again too. We will do it! 

Buffy - I don't know him well. I saw him after a few years as he lives a half-mile from my mom's house with my aunt and I asked how he lost it. I don't know him well. My family is not close, but yes, it is great of him to take control. My mom told her sister (my aunt) to buy no more junk food like chips or sugary cookies and cakes. That did it alone. If one is still buying chips and cake and pie and ice cream every week they're going nowhere down on the scale. Harsh advice, but true. And some men want their wives fat (for real) so no other men will 'steal' them away!
