Thx, BB. Emotionally, i am doing well, tho i still gaze out the window wanting to see her where i feel she should be. Physically, i am dealing w/a cold partially brought on by the change of seasons, part by my emo-eating. I'm catching on ;o) & am having a smoothie for breakfast: 2 oranges/4 nanas/1c fr strawberries. Ry just requested some so i'll be having more! Hope to get the dishes done so i can make juice today. Thx again for everyone's sympathy. Love

Wanted to "check in" & update... After trying to hot tea & garlic toast my "cold" away, w/o real results, & reading (continuing to read- far too crazy long for 1 day reading quest!) my new copy of Live Food Factor, i decided to go the rr again. I have been 100% real since friday. The truly fantastic part is i've not eaten a thing- not even blendeds!- between 6pm & 8am each day! That is major because that is my typical binge pd. Noticed changes as early as saturday- jeans fit better on my thighs & i could zip them up w/o killing myself, cleansing began w/break outs on my forehead & arms, breath was not dreaded "morning" breath either. Sunday cleansing went further w/am bm that was awesome! Tmi but it was effortless & extensive & made me laugh. & made me lighter. Enough of that... Today is monday. This weekend's gotten me all giddy. Plan on journal-ing 1x/week. Will weigh myself 1x/wk as well. Want to wait 'til friday for my 1st weigh-in. Starting wt was 180-ish lbs. 2 wks ago, give or take. Love

Today was Weigh Day- i'm down about 5lbs! I haven't been able to keep my 6pm curfew every night but no food has passed these lips after 9- which was just our anniversary & hub got home late but i'd finished eating by 9. Other eves i'd be so busy getting the fam's sup together i'd lose track of time. So, 4 of 7 days I made curfew. Not bad! Carm, ever seen Ratatouille? I'd become Emille, "What's that? Can i eat it?" It's cute when a cg rat is stuffing trash in its mouth, not so when it's me! A 6pm curfew has helped me w/cravings because I think of the work my body's doing & how unhappy I get when I spend time cleaning & it's undone in minutes! Other than the eves I missed curfew, I wasn't able to sit w/the fam while they ate until last night. I've also prayed that I'm a good example for others. Oddly enough, we bought a new range & it's being used daily for the fam's meals. I'm making all sorts of stuff for THEM- lol... I am doing well ) So, I renew my commitment another week: 6pm curfew, 100% live foods, WD Friday. I'll check in then! (Carm- so glad you found humor in my bm experience :D Funny stuff! How are you & yrs? Love

WD #2- 4lbs! Lovely surprise as I didn't feel that it was that much. Still haven't perfected the curfew & had 2 snack nights past 9. Wednesday was feeling off, like I was getting a cold. Hubby said it sounded like a detox & asked if i'd eaten anything I shouldn't. Very cute! Neet, the cravings are still there but certain cooked things make me quite nauseous. Took 3 tries to frost a cake for fam, it made me so ill! What a victory, eh!? Thanks for the support :*

Hi MW! I wonder if your red navels are the same as blood oranges we get here. yum for sure.
Glad to hear your last couple of WD's have been positive for you, that's really exciting - 5lbs and 4lbs respectively - be proud!

Ratatouille is one of those kiddies movies i would be happy to watch over and over, but sadly the kids are a bit frightened by it. Lachie was waking up during the night crying that the 'white man' (the nasty chef dude) was trying to get him and he was running away! It's been a few months since they've seen it, so I think it's time to try again.

We have been well. I have not been listening to myself lately and have found I don't feel the greatest, so yesterday set myself a little challenge to help get back on the path to wonderful health again. Will update at a later stage. Take care and have fun!
xoxo

lol, sounds a bit like Mike from Monsters Inc...i feel like i have been showered in happy points already today so if I don't win yours I'll still manage to get through the day!

Good luck with your WD tomorrow!

xoxo

Tee hee. I've loved reading this exchange between you both! Sounds like you are flying MW.
