Trying

[paul m]

Hello Uni. In regards to food items with the word cappachino in them , the only one that I like is iced cappachino at timmies on a very hot day. However I am in favour of most frozen yogurts, ice cream etc any time of the day.

Pardon me for asking this, but isn't one of the ingredients, in cappachino concoctions of any kind, coffee? Coffee affects sleep etc etc. just wondering LOL.

Murders and prisons, those are interesting dreams. Are you covering up a time frame in your life that we don't know about? Say 20-25 yrs . LOL

Good luck with your weight loss. Take Care. paul m

Paul, I love your humour - thanks for the levity! AJ, I can relate, and wish you the best of luck!

I'm not having much success at the food thing so far. Doing a bit more walking though. Have not journalled yet, although am consulting with God, and feel hopeful. I'm finding that much of the problem is lack of solid sleep, which makes me care less (and also careless haha). I learned last night that although cappachino frozen yogourt may be fun to try (especially when it's on sale cheap), it isn't good to eat very much of it too late in the day. Do it, and your sleep is full of dreams about murderers and prisons It also affects your morning digestive activity, if you know what I mean

But I shall endeavor to persevere....

Hello Uni. I'm technically overweight LOL. However I am making small progress, very slow. I also tend to eat when I bored, fortunately I'm rarely bored. However if I'm anxious, upset, nervous, etc, I can spend way too much in front of the cupboard selecting goodies to eat rather than doing something about what is making me anxious etc.

I can certainly try and provide encouragement. Take Care. paul m

p.s. In regards to writing down everything a person eats I understand that is a good way to keep track of how much we do eat. However as I'm not inclined to record such things or even keep a mood chart, journal etc, about the only way that I can see me writing down what all I ate is if I did it with a sandwich in my other hand LOL

I was recently visiting family out of town and eating so much. Now I have to figure out how to lose the weight I gained.

Since getting home from my latest trip I've been eating too much. Plain and simple. And gaining weight. Partly out of boredom and partly to avoid emotions I'd rather not deal with. This has happened before. I know what to do, and that is to have a good chat with God and do some journaling. Aside from that, the usual: move my body more, write down what goes in my mouth. I figure that posting here may help me get back on track. I'm not technically "overweight" but nor do I want to become so. Anybody else in the same boat? Maybe we can encourage one another
