Hello!  I have found many of your blogs quite uplifting.  If really does help to hear about what you are going through and how you deal with it.  I can truly relate with a few of you.  A large part of the stress I was feeling has been addressed and takin care of.  It won’t be a quick fix but at least I know things will be heading in the right direction - that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I was wondering if there are any of you out there that don’t eat poultry or fish?  I don’t and I find it is hard to follow “healthy” eating plans because the main component is ususally poultry and/or fish.  I would love to hear from others that have this same concern.  As always happy losing and remember:  one slip does make you fall - it just throws you off balance.

This was one tough week!  Stress was shooting at me from every direction - worst of all though was my dog ran away…thankfully she was found and returned.  I am a stress eater above all else.    I wanted chocolate so bad, and potato chips, and ice cream, and the list goes on!  I think I did pretty well, I only had one candy bar (which for me is really good).  I even managed to lose 2 pounds - probably from all the walking I did looking for my dog!  How do you guys manage your eating when you are really stressed?  I tried doing something physical and mentally distracting but it didn’t always help.  I’ve tried walking, doing jumping jacks, word puzzles, and writing… any other ideas?

Hello!  My name is Susan and I am 34 years old.  I am in the process of losing (hopefully a lot more) weight.  I started at 319 pounds and I am currently down to 274 pounds.  It has been very difficult but I am proud of myself for what I have accomplished thus far.  I would love to meet and talk with others that are in the process of losing weight and those that already have.  I don’t really know what else to say right now except that I look forward to hearing from you.  Have a great day/night and happy losing!
