Well I am just a general administrator, so can work anywhere, hopefully I will get something before my contract finishes in November. Your line of work is one that has been the hardest hit in this economy, but I do hope you find something soon!Fat[free]Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657562694069139967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-6541194761855753732009-10-12T22:30:34.389-04:002009-10-12T22:30:34.389-04:00Thanks Tammy!

I guess because I have the sweet tea here and its really my one TRUE weakness along with fried chicken and french fries. LOL! Thanks for the support I need all the support I can get.

I really didn't follow the mantra of "listen to my body" to lose my weight. Rather I watched fat percentage in foods and was super careful with portions. My body wasn't really trustworthy at that point.<br /><br />I love the new shoes! I didn't mean to make you sad on my blog today. Your inspiration can come from inside you just as well as a silly photo!

I still have days where I just want to go on a bender with food, and sometimes do, although it's usually healthier stuff now. Don't be too hard on yourself - it's a process and we get to keep practicing it from now until the end. Remember, it's progress, not perfection. Hang in there, Tammy - you really are doing good!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-84565283780626303202009-10-12T15:26:22.795-04:002009-10-12T15:26:22.795-04:00Hi Tammy. To lose weight there must be some hunger...Hi Tammy. To lose weight there must be some hunger. And for some people like you and me, a lot of hunger. People who say otherwise are usually lying or occasionally just very lucky. <br /><br />The intuitive eating thing is mainly just a way of trying to con yourself into eating less and for some people that works and good for them if it does. But it still relies on making good choices -eating things you'd rather not because you'd actually prefer something more calorific, and eating less than you really want. It's just another way of thinking about dieting. <br /><br />Not something that would ever work for me because I'm too honest about myself. <br /><br />I also think the point you make about mind and body being difficult to distinuish between is important. If you use (or have used) food for comfort then when your mind screaming for chocolate or whatever it's likely to be much louder than anything else. <br /><br />All I can say is, keep up the struggle and stay strong. You are an inspiration.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />BEarfriend xxFriend of the Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338137165061207438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-18148073673353232522009-10-12T14:34:45.564-04:002009-10-12T14:34:45.564-04:00I'm so glad to see you got yourself your new s...I'm so glad to see you got yourself your new shoes!! Definatly listen to your body about exersize. As for eating, I can't listen to my body for the same reason you can't. As long as I know I have my 1500 cals in for the day, I look at that "i'm hungry" feeling as this: it's my body going into that stored fat I have so I'm not going to put another thing in my mouth for the night. Sometimes I drink a bottle of water but it doesn't always help.<br />Keep it up! I'm back up to 184, but with the encouragement I'm getting from reading your blog, I have lost 3 pounds of it so far :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438364793727711103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-90505438465619300272009-10-12T13:18:33.052-04:002009-10-12T13:18:33.052-04:00Glad you got new shoes I'm sure they will help...Glad you got new shoes I'm sure they will help.<br /><br />As for the food stuff, after 27 months I still have days like you described. Sometimes I white knuckle it and sometimes I give in and have a healthy snack (and sometimes I have a not so healthy snack). I find too that having decaf hot tea with milk at night usually helps get me through. Sometimes I will have 3 double cups, the protein in the milk really helps curb my appetite I believe. I also love the sugar free fudgesicles which at 80 for 2 help get me through a night when I'm wanting something sweet but don't want to blow my day. I think it's all about finding ways to get through. I also believe sometimes it really is our bodies telling us we need to eat more but for me I know most times it's just my mind. <br /><br />As for the exercise. I can say finally my body does know when I need it or I need a down day.<br /><br />Hope you have a good week.bbubblybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423578980112090148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-12136662478637747212009-10-12T12:32:28.375-04:002009-10-12T12:32:28.375-04:00love new shoes!!

I need some too, mine are getting too wide and stretched out. 5 miles is a LOT! seriously. let your toes heal.. and try doing less.. like 3.5m.. that's still a lot. work your way back up so your toes can heal. Get good socks too.. ones that fit properly, and wick sweat away from your feet. They saved my life this summer with all the walking.

It looks ugly with band-aids on "roast beef and none" (remember? this little piggy had roast beef and this little piggy had none") but I haven't had a blister since. I might make that a post! <br />Great shoes!Sevenbeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408190872701308055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-41178062231973759932009-10-12T09:01:40.332-04:002009-10-12T09:01:40.332-04:00Getting back on track is a challenge, and you'...Getting back on track is a challenge, and you're doing it. Listening to your body is so sensible, and sometimes feels too much like "moderation" to me. UGH - I don't seem to have a moderation setting, but I'm trying. Sounds like you're doing good.
