We are so hard on ourselves to lose and look better. It is all about feeling better. Plus I'd like to fit into some of my old clothes that are not exactly a small size!

I'm glad we're on the same page....again.

Best to you always~
Cathy

Weight Watchers, through the years, has taught me a lot of strategies that I've always remembered. Self-talk is one of them. Now blogging keeps me accountable, too!

I love you in my cheering section - thank you for that!

Best to you always~
Cathy

It is SO SO SO slow - and seeing that scale stand still takes a moment of big sighing. Losing weight is definitely not what it used to be.

Feeling healthier is the ultimate goal. It's so worth it.

Thanks again for sharing your insights.

Best~
Cathy

A huge change, and I bet it's making a difference to your body in many ways.

You are an inspiration~

Thanks so much~
Cathy

We do the same thing in our house. I think my problem is always portion control. We have only healthy foods in our house (Gary is a food nut!) but I would fill my plate to the brim, including carbs. That's what puts the weight on me.

Good for you that you're losing weight (although I always thought you looked so beautiful!)

Thanks for leaving your thoughts here, Julie.

Best~
Cathy

It's VERY HARD but I'm trying. I want to feel and look better. One day at a time.

Thanks for leaving your thoughts here.

Cheers~

But you are so right about being reactive. It's easy to give into our eating desires based on our emotions.

We're all works in progress.

Thanks for leaving your comments.

Best~

Hey, we're all human and once in awhile we just want something that's not the best for you, but sure is delicious. Go for it!

I am so glad you left your thoughts on my blog.

Best always!
Cathy

Well, I miss those special times when my son was young. They were golden. Enjoy it, Estelle. It's worth not working out for a little while!

You look marvelous -from your photos! 🙁 and I know whether you lose or gain your radiant smile is the main attraction. (My sad face is because I hope to see you IRL someday soon!)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Best~
Cathy

When I'm REALLY stressed out, I stop eating. I lost weight during the time of my mom's passing and again after Matthew was diagnosed. However, once the initial stress passes, I do succumb to the temptations of bad eating habits. I've gained most of the weight I lost back and I know I need to start eating healthier again...thank you for the kick in the butt I needed!

It's so hard to maintain our habits during hectic or chaotic times in life. Last week for example, because my daughter was home a few days cause of the storm, I wasn't able to work out and my routine went out of whack. I still haven't got it back. Glad you are still eating healthy and didn't gain any weight.
Estelle
