Weekend Help!!
Hi Nini,
Weekends are hard!! Make yourself a do list on weekends and stay busy. Keep your mind and body busy. If you feel like you must have snacks or something have a sugar free Jello. It may sound gross but I’ve come to love them!! They come in lots of flavors and they have saved me more than once.
Don’t beat yourself up over this!!! Imagine a world with no guilt huh? Forgive yourself. It’s ok. No one in the world is perfect. Just keep telling yourself you CAN do this and start over again. By the way, this is week 3 for me too!! I’m going to stay on Phase One because I don’t mind what I’m eating…I’m afraid to add in more carbs because I don’t want to gain anything back. When you want snacks take a minute to visualize what you will look like when the weight is gone and think about how much better you’ll feel. Concentrate on that. They say nothing tastes better than thin feels…it’s been so long ago for me that I don’t remember.
Good luck!!

I am trying hard not to get to down about this and remember that it
is going to take time and I know I can do this.
Nini it’s true that if you let it bother you, you will only get more frustrated and that won’t help you. We were snowed in this weekend too…where did you say you are? I’m near Atlantic City. We didn’t get so much snow but we have a lot of ice. It would be nice if they took care of our roads but they really don’t. They wait until it’s over and then try to deal with it. When I lived on Cape Cod they stayed on top of it the whole way through so the roads are bone dry when the event is over. I want to go back!!
I was in the grocery store in Friday evening before the snow came. Everyone else had the typical stuff you would buy before a big storm…all assortment of chips and pretzels and sodas…frozen pizzas…lots of fun stuff to munch while you’re snowed in. We on the other hand had cottage cheese, all natural peanut butter (gag), paper products, hamburger-one of only two packs left in the store!!, and a pack of pork chops. I was looking in everyone’s carts at the check out…wishing I was going home with any of them LOL!!! They had all the good stuff..and we had the boring stuff LOL!! But, I guess even with our boring stuff…we made the healthy choices. I don’t like artificial sweeteners either!! It kind of scares me too because I have no idea what it is. It’s all chemicals.
Let’s see…indoor projects…do you have closets that need to be reorganized? Maybe kitchen cabinets that need cleaning out?? It seems like there is always some project that needs attention. Save them for weekends and jump in with both feet.
Take good care,
Sharon

But I might try crocheting
Excellent idea!! I’m not into the cleaning thing either but I thought maybe that would be time consuming and you would get a project completed. Knitting or crocheting would be good too because your hands would be kept busy. You and me both!! I would like to live in a warmer climate too!!! Not hot but warmer would be nice. Somewhere it doesn’t snow. Anyway have suggestions for us?? LOL!!
