Happy Valentine's!

Hello Friends,

I'm doing pretty good with my running, WOW! I would love to be in a 1/2
marathon with one of my running friends soon:-) I am working on 3-4 miles
4-5 times a week, with an occasional 6 miles.

Exercising helps me eat well, it creates a good cycle of watching my
eating behaviors and keeps me motivated to NOT overeat.

Hugs,

May

Updated pic

Hello Friends,

Here is a new picture of me!! We can do it!!
Eat well and exercise--just push!! I am slowly
trying to prepare for a 1/2 marathon!!

My tricks for eating "normal"...

This helps me when I desperately want to binge:

1. email weight loss friends asap (like me!)
2. down a large glass of water to kind of fill you up
3. drink caf-free coffee w/artificial sugar w/skim milk
4. eat fruit/veggies (i'd rather overdo w/fruit than junk even though i know it's lots of cals!!)
5. go to JC chatroom
6. if you still want to eat bad, TRY to make it work w/the day-for example-i overate leftover chicken and a bowl of cereal BUT did not have anything else after that & i exercised so it was equivalent to eating just the right amt of cals
7. lots & lots of gum
8. low cal/healthy treats: www.vitalicious.com
9. go look at OLD pics to motivate you NOT to do it b/c you don't want that again
:-| that vicious cycle :-(

Hugs,

Something new!

Hello Friends,

I got a stationary bike in my bedroom! This way I have no excuse! It is something to do while watching television! I put it together today and already did 8.5 miles on it and also jogged my 2.6 miles! I really want to see if it helps me do better. I have been doing really bad overeating and I know for sure that exercise really helps me psychologically to NOT overeat.

Let's see how this bike at my bedside helps!

Hugs,

May

Merry Christmas!

Hello and Merry Christmas!

Today I did pretty well NOT going nuts with everything I saw to eat and I even exercised 2.75 miles! I love my new treadmill I just bought last week. I love being able to exercise any time, any weather, right in my own home!

I am really proud of me because I have now maintained between 140-150 for 2 whole years, WOW! I do have my falls and they can be really bad gorging events, but then I start over as best I can and it really does make the difference. Of course, exercising really does motivate me NOT to eat poorly. I also hate the feeling of being out of control when I overeat and the feeling of being huge and uncomfortable is plain...what would be the word...yuk.

In this picture, I am with my little one who turned 5 on Dec. 8th.

Hugs,

May

I'm doing ok!!

Hey out there!! Anyone visiting my blog?? Write me!!!!!!!

I can't believe I haven't written for so long!!!!! Well, I was on and off with good and bad times involving food, but but but!!!!!...I feel I'm doing super well!!!!!!! I am weighing in at 145/6 and am thinking that every single thing makes a difference...not eating more of this or that...WILL make the overall difference in not overeating. Remembering how I'll feel a certain feeling of shame afterwards helps me NOT overeat most of the time.

Hugs and remember you CAN do it!!!!

Happy Holidays!!

Hi Friends,

I am doing pretty good! If I make a bad decision I start fresh immediately, that really makes the difference. Knowing that I'll feel great after exercising is my real motivator for getting on

that treadmill!

Hugs,

May
