You're not eating salads because you're on a "diet," you're doing so because you like them. You're not denying yourself chocolate, instead you don't feel like having one. It's power. Way to go!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-72082106563281938642021-02-28T20:00:08.794-05:002021-02-28T20:00:08.794-05:00Too much food has always been a struggle for me at...Too much food has always been a struggle for me at times. But I've been fortunate in that I have never smoked, rarely drink, and don't have a lot of other things many people consider vises. It lets me focus on the one vice and not let it rule my life.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-73499329008471443192021-02-28T11:26:23.496-05:002021-02-28T11:26:23.496-05:00You are to be Congratulated!

My view is that we should consume half our body weight, in ounces of water, daily. If a person weighs 180 pounds, they would drink 90 ounces of water daily.<br /><br />I happen to love to drink water, and know, that not all do. But.... You are so strong, I'm sure you could make it.<br /><br />Gentle hugs...Beside a babbling brook...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14230422491225783790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-27071445292990970182021-02-27T19:29:19.983-05:002021-02-27T19:29:19.983-05:00Of course you can do it.

I'm still at the talking about my pandemic weight gain stage and I'm hoping as the weather improves I'll move more and eat less again!<br />I'm sorry things were so volatile with your mum. My mum takes offence very easily and usually its me that causes it - unintentionally! However maybe you could look at it that your mum is now helping you to live a healthier life! xMarksgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870471905590321642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-67306094419012062612021-02-27T12:23:12.666-05:002021-02-27T12:23:12.666-05:00I guess the key is motivation, and you have it, ha...I guess the key is motivation, and you have it, having seen the way excess weight made your mom suffer.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-21215025615267800202021-02-27T09:20:46.768-05:002021-02-27T09:20:46.768-05:00Thanks for sharing these intensely private thought...Thanks for sharing these intensely private thoughts Debby. With regard to your mother and how things were between you, a little hindsight might have given you the wisdom to act differently and more effectively but it is very clear that your heart was always in the right place. Congratulations on the loss of seven pounds of lard! I doubt that you will be mourning their passing.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-33436557446049470462021-02-27T08:53:51.219-05:002021-02-27T08:53:51.219-05:00Good for you, Debby.

Good to be positive.<br />It is sad not to get on with relations.

Food is not a problem for me. I can have one chocolate, enjoy it, and have no more. My partner eats the rest of the packet. People don't understand addictions to what they are not not addicted to. <br /><br />Just because they are our parents, that doesn't mean they are any smarter or wiser and have better relationship skills than we do. Anger is such a futile emotion and it is sad that your mother died with such anger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
