Thanks Julie. I don't know if I can attribute my attitude to a change
in the air, or if I'm just now getting over my post-Christmas blahs. The switch isn't fully on yet--I ate a no-no lunch today--so I've still got some work to do to transform the positive frame of mind into positive action. -- Linda P On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 09:17:57 +1100, "JulieB" wrote: Oh, you and Ray on the same morning! Is there something in the air up there? It's great to see you back in such a positive frame of mind Linda. It takes some time to get used to the size that you really are, but you *will* get there in the end. |

It's good to be back. Reading and posting, even if I'm not fully back
in the game eating-wise, makes me feel OP. I hate to think I could be the inspiration for anyone. Yet I know how that works. People who succeed the 1st and only time seem so unreal. Those of us who take giant steps back and baby steps forward need each other to keep from thinking the whole thing is hopeless. -- Linda P On Sat, 26 Feb 2005 23:42:14 +0100, "Nathalie W" wrote: I 'm so relieved to see you here, was very worried.

Thanks Kate. I'm on and off the NG today between errands and such.
Getting back into the groove of reading and posting is definitely good for my mental health even if my food choices haven't been perfectly perfect. One baby step at a time. -- Linda P On Sat, 26 Feb 2005 23:52:57 +0000, Kate Dicey wrote: Prairie Roots wrote: I think it was early December when I last posted.

I congratulate you, Linda, for making a connection between your weight and
the stress in your life and STILL having enough strength to do something to fix it. Sometimes it's hard to still find the fight and not give up. You haven't, and that's wonderful.

Thank You! I won't pretend that I made a sudden decision to return and
now everything's coming up roses. I've still a long ways to go before my head and my heart are completely back in the groove. But I remember writing to people who were discouraged that the only way to fail is to quit. I'm trying to pay attention to my own advice and for today, be satisfied that I've take the steps to get myself back here. Tomorrow's another day. -- Linda P On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 02:09:04 GMT, "cynlyn" wrote: I congratulate you, Linda, for making a connection between your weight and the stress in your life and STILL having enough strength to do something to fix it.

Hi Linda, how nice to see you back. There were many concerned
people here on the ng. I'm glad you made the decision to get back OP and get rid of those pesky pounds. Dealing with the body image thing may be difficult, but you can do it! Good luck getting back to where you were in December. Again, it's nice to *see* you back here! -- Brenda 209/198/155 "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ...
