Thanks everybody! Y'all rock!!

Just wanted to drop a "Thanks" to all you helpful ladies. Gayle (Banslug) thanks for the talk.. Glad to know I'm not a nutter! Tricia (Szyzgy) thanks for all the happy posts. Morningstar, the no BS cut to the chase honesty. Kathryn, the nutrition and veggie info. Miss Lee the Rah-Rah Sis Boom Bahs. And everyone else, too. Too many to list. The knowledge,the support, the laughs, the cries.

I posted about 2 wks ago (the Overeaters Anon) post and I have to say, I have turned it around. I had one or two rough days,but have been holding it together pretty well. All the responses to that post really helped. I am so not alone. I have lost 2 lbs!! Just by cutting out the crap I didn't need.

So for all you ladies and all your support thru this and every issue, Thanks!!!!!

Nan

You go Nan! Keep up the good work! It's really hard to fight off those food issues! Yikes! I've had my battles over the years!

Stay strong and know that we're here if you feel yourself wanting to stray!

I guess I'm known more for my honesty than my compassion! Glad to see you're feeling so much more empowered!

I guess I'm known more for my honesty than my compassion!

Compassion is good, but compassion would not have propelled me to finally see an orthopedic doctor about my ankle. If you had not literally yelled at me to stop running on it I would have ended up in a cast with something more complicated than a stress fracture.

You encouraged me through months of swimming while I couldn't run, and when I started running again you encouraged me to take it slow. Your encouragement felt like compassion.

I still intend to have a plaque engraved for my exercise room with the words, "Morningstar is always right."

We all have our food issues. There seems to be food-amnesia involved too. We forget what we know and have to learn the lesson again and again.

For me it is sugar. I don't eat very much because it makes me feel so crappy, but I seem to forget how crappy it makes me feel. Around and around I go, it is such a trigger for me I have decided to go cold-turkey.

It is moment by moment, day by day.

Yay! Congrats on making a turn-around.

Nan, I actually have you on my To-Do list for tonight! SERIOUSLY! I should take a pic and post it for PROOF! I'm sooooooooooo glad to hear you've been doing so well. Stay focussed, keep your guard up and my all time favorite saying...KEEP ON TRUCKIN'!

You call me ANYtime you need! We nutters MUST stick together!

Hooray for you, Nan! I read your last post and was very moved by your honesty and willingness to share. I am glad you feel that you are marching forward, and wish you success as you continue to take it one day at a time.
