And where can I find whole flaxseed? I have heard others mention this, have
stayed away from it because of the points others say it holds. Do you count the points? I don't have points to spare!!! hehehe I usually don't have this problem, tend to only have it if my schedule gets whacked. If I'm in a rush, don't have time - body seems to forget about it until a morning when I do have time. I do think it also isn't helping that this week I haven't been drinking my water.

It is things like that that I am trying to mentally capture - to
remind myself of what is so terrific about keeping the intake reasonable. Why I like being this weight should be strong reminder.. And you know, I also feel much younger.

Funny, I skipped the flax seed oil this morning figuring I would add
those points to tomorrow's pre-ski breakfast. Oatmeal, flax oil, sardines and then whatever for the trail.

neurotic? Maybe, I don't know. Fear of falling into the same old trappings I
have worked so hard to free myself of? Definitely! THAT'S IT. The Fear of falling back. Those were all firmly established HABITS. And maybe even instincts of some sort. Fighting them, establishing new ones take effort.

I told him I am then the first 130 pound anorexic who willingly eats several times per day that I have ever known. G Of course, this is said by the guy who has just put on about 30 pounds by resuming old habits of eating unlimited quantities of icecream and chips on a daily basis. The Bros' habits were mine - I would find a quart of some ice cream but then see another favorite flavor and even possibly a third. Buy them all and fill a soup bowl and maybe a second. And the potato chips accompanied me on my commute home. And you might think that with all those chips, the ice cream would wait till the next day. NO, I think the chips just stimulated some appetite and ice would follow when I got home. I really do think that I put on the last 20 pounds pretty blindly and very fast. Out to lunch we went, dragging mom with us. Again I was told, *eat more fat!* ... and the cheeseburger jumped off the menu and into my view. Waiter came around, I ordered garlic chicken pasta (Dottie's says it's 11 points, but I sure don't see where it can be that much, couldn't have had more than 2 ounces of chicken ... if that ... and about a cup of angel hair). Oh, and I skipped desert. Dinner tonite was a can of health valley soup (wonderful, wonderful, wonderfully high fiber and nutritious) and a fantastic wheat pita sandwich. I think you have me convinced that you are okay both mentally and physically. A coworker has been complaining that it is taking too much effort to stick with it. He misses his beer weekends and snacks. Sounds like coworker really doesn't have his mind into the game yet, or hasn't found that *switch* we like to talk about.. I guess I can agree that following any healthy plan does take a bit of effort ... I can't say that it took too MUCH effort though - not for me anyway. After the initial few weeks it seemed like everything fell into place in my head and it really was easy to continue on the journey. He is still young and he and his wife did it with borrowed materials so maybe less vested in the program but he did lose about 40pounds. He must have found the initial switch but maybe it is more like a foot pedal switch - you need to constantly keep it engaged. It does not just stay ON by itself.

Yes and also the entire social scene - peer or maybe beer pressure (G)

shifting into a size six would give me incentive to do tread mill , Lee
Joyce wrote in message ... I'm tellin' ya, they're all freakin' nutz! (or as the bumper sticker on hubbys drs. car reads ... nuckin futz) Where do they come up with stuff like this? Evidentally it bugged me enough that I asked hub if I looked anorexic .. he just laughed at me and told me not to worry. Measurements? 37, 28, 35 ... a fur piece from doing a disappearing act. Like you, I don't think the numbers say thin either - but the clothing sizes seem to. Bought my very first size small sweaters yesterday (obviously was a fluke) and did need some new jeans as the butt is sagging dramatically in my old ones ... size ... hang onto your shorts here 6! Fit beautifully. The treadmill doesn't appear to be doing anything for me weightwise, but I think there is a bunch of shifting going on. g Joyce On Fri, 21 Nov 2003 12:59:37 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: And I am Blissfully, Healthily, Happily neurotic as well.
