So, I had the worst craving for chocolate today. And I decided that if I let myself have a reasonable amout of chocolate it will kill the craving. Usually if I hold back and cut somethig I like out completely I blow it and just eat as much as I want. So I decided each weigh in day (usually Monday but this week is off a little)after i weigh in I will let myself have one square of my belgian chocolate bar (one of those big ones lol). This way I can have a little with out blowing it. I don't think it will hurt me that much exspecially if I have it in the beginning of the week. I like chocolate too much to cut it out completely!!! I hope this is a good idea. I guess I'll see Monday. If I hit a plateau or if I'm not loosing weight then I will stop. Do you think this is a good idea?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
I've done lots of different approaches to lose weight & stay in shape. Now that I've turned 40, I'm really trying to commit to making lifestyle changes that are livable & more focused on well-being than just being thin.
So, something I've learned is that you have to be kind and loving to yourself. If you love chocolate, have a little--every day if you want. The key is to not make it "bad." Find a way to incorporatte it into an overall healthy diet.
Plus, get the best darn chocolate you can so it feels like a gift to yourself.
