good helper, becky. that works for me!

i understand it so well, about all the time everywhere food. i learn some thing to do may be it will help you guys!
especially now when i go to the supermarket and buy my veg and yogurt, all the display are christmas cookies, that doesn't help.
so ! what i do is
when i see those kind of things that i couldnt resist before, i look at them and think about the most disgusting thing that i ever ate, and feel the grouse texture in my mouth, and the revolting feeling in my throat, so i pass even of the things that are very tempting before, but now i look at them differently.
then before i feel pity for my self i feel the championship feeling in my head that i lost 9 kg or other supportive feeling that makes me feel good!

Yup,,, and then people go around asking, where are your cookies, you always make such lovely cookies this time of the year? I'm NOT baking this year!!! I'm filling the office christmas tree with all the stuff I do NOT like!

awwww,Lorchen, my heart really goes out to you.

But....you CAN do it!

Thank you very much everybody!

Wendy, last few times I went on a plane I had to ask for an extension piece for the seat belt. Maybe that won't be necessary anymore some time in the future.

It's helping me a lot to share with you all, because feels like you are all right behind me. I have to admit that sticking to this new lifestyle is quite tough, and I need a lot of help and support to keep on track.

I never realized how much we are all surrounded by food and drink - in advertisements, in magazines, in shops. It's impossible to get away from it. And most of the time the items shown or on display are the sort of stuff I need to avoid right now. I nearly screamed tonight when I was watching crime series programme on tv, and the detectives were discussing the case whilst chewing on super-sized burgers, they then arrested somebody in a restaurant in the middle of a lovely meal, and finally got the killer as he was shopping at the deli counter of a supermarket.......aaarrhhhhh.....!

Lorchen, I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work. My willpower is at a low now, but hopefully it will pick up. You are an inspiration for me. Congrats!!!!

Whooo Hooo. WTG Lorchen. I have been thinking of you over the last week or so, as I remember that you have had bad chest infections for the last two winters. I'm sorry that you are ill again but hope that you be will feeling better again very soon.

Just Brilliant news! and what a nice surprise for you too.

Lorchen, good for you! I hope your success will inspire me to do the same.

Hi Lorchen -
On thinking about your news this afternoon, I want to tell you that I think (and probably others too) that this is not just 'an itsy-bitsy success'

This is a really really good BIG deal!! Congratulations!

Ya-hoo!
