Shrewdness's Journal, 11 Sep 22

We all know the theory! The difficulty is to establish in practice how much is "much" in the sentence "just don't eat much". Happy Sunday to you too, Shrew. Here I am trying to put off at least until tomorrow what I should've done on Friday... 

Sweetness, being aware is something. Keeping working at it and those healthy habits should make a difference. Keep moving forward. 👍💕 

I am so delighted that you have turned this corner, Shrewd🤗. You will go from strength to strength from this point. I’m behind you all the way, kiddo. 

It really is finding the foods to eat that never seem to be "too much". Fill up on eggies & fruits...then throw in some of the other stuff. You can do it, Shrewdness!! 😊❤️ 

Oops!! That should be veggies 

The day after tomorrow…😂😆 Hope you’re having a great day!:) 

It isn't really that you can't eat much, it's finding the balance. For over forty years, I ate plenty and my weight was normal. I didn't even really think about it, I prepared healthy, well-balanced meals, using fresh ingredients, just as I had grown up eating. And I occasionally had reasonable portions of desserts and treats. When my life feel apart, that all changed and I developed terrible eating habits. So now I have to relearn old habits and, yes, for a time, eat less, so that I can have a better life. Isn't that what we all want? 

Yeah! Congrats on the weight loss! 🎉🎉 You got this!! 

Back on track. Congrats👏👏👏  

SieteTresEva, funny!😁 Not sure what the weather is like where you’re at, but I have put two weekends into the waste bin as I just couldn’t function with this heat. So much to get done, yet not eating much.😆 Have a great Monday!🌸 

My Becky, thank you! I am considering air conditioning now, which I am so against. We are happy without one until now. I am tired of complaining about this humidity. I will keep moving forward though with you in mind.👍💕 

Maguscanook, I need to do well this week. My granddaughter is having a birthday party and her other grandmother is a ten!!!🫤 She was always perfect weight, AND pretty, yet went ahead and had a tummy tuck!😦 And unfortunately, I can’t hate her for she is beautiful on the inside as well!😊 I will do well this week👍 Thank you! 

Sherrye, I like eggies!!!😁😋👍 I think oatmeal helps as well. Thank you and for the giggle too.😁 

NAVYWIFESKI, I hope your feeling better. I am drinking my coffee, but allowing only one cup at work today. Water it is!👍💧You have a great day as well!☕️ 

Preach!!! I’m living your life I think 😉😆 

I ask the weight question all the time!! It frustrates me to no end! Have a wonderful week filled with lots of weight losses and positive experiences. 💜🙏 

Thank you! No coffee again. Not feelin’ it but a bit better! Enjoy yours for me!:)☕️☕️ Have a great day! 

Shirfleur💕, same with my girlfriend who’s a doctor. Her husband was my gynecologist, first doctor I ever had. He delivered my babies and went on to retire. She became my primary doctor. She was very successful and head of the hospital. As time went on he cheated, they divorced, and she gained weight. As he got older he got dementia, guess who stepped in and took care of him to the end?! She set him up in his own apartment and sat with him daily. Men can be jerks at times! They often see with the eye and not the soul. He was very very lucky to have her as a wife! She lost weight, but still has trouble maintaining. Now that she’s retiring I am a bit worried. I am very lucky to have had them both in my life. I will try to find the balance, for I do want a better life. If I fall ill, I don’t want the ambulance EMTs grunting when lifting me.😁😆 Blessings Shirfleur!👍 

Javadali, thank you! I will be celebrating my granddaughter’s 5th birthday and I would like to get a few pounds off. Yahoo for grandkids!👍 

Ginome, I can’t wait to be where you’re at!!! Congratulations to you too!👍👏👏👏
