If you are waiting on weight loss to love and accept your body, I hate to break it to you...but true love and acceptance should be unconditional. Your body doesn't need to look like or do anything specifically to be loved, accepted, appreciated or deemed worthy. (Some words from a Connect Post.)

Happy Halloween! Final weigh in:

Good morning all. Just trying to stay out of my own way and get out of my A, AF, A, AF day pattern. See if I can get the rest of the week AF, I just don't seem to have my head in the game. Do it today and then worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Had a nice day otherwise, got a few projects done and added to my tote. I had a lot of acorn tops that I turned into little ornaments, glued old mini glass balls to them and added a string through the top. Stuffed up some more cat toys and may look online today to see if there are any easy patterns to make small things, just to have a basket full of choices. Maybe I can get sis involved in some production line tomorrow while she's here . Today I will get my steps in, have some outside time before it gets cold tomorrow. We will have left overs for dinner and then purge what's left into the garbage for tomorrow's pickup. Last night I made a yummy tarragon chicken mushroom recipe from the WW site. It was yummy with our arugula salad, even DH approved . When I came though town on the way home from WW I drove past the early voting site that's on the corner. There was a long line outside onto the sidewalk! Not sure if that is good or bad news but at least people seem to be taking the election seriously either way. I checked online and it showed my ballot was received a week or so ago. Now we just wait. Hope you all have a great day. Jan

Amy. Yay you! You will make a new decade in the next week or so!! Congrats. Do you think the extra yoga and aerobics is helping move the scale along too?, as you always were walking a lot of steps. Glad the last class was nice and sorry it's ending. Did she hint at ever trying to start it up again? Sounds like you were busy in the kitchen, must be a bit of a relief to have all the Green beans done. How are your winter veggies doing? I am enjoying my book, it's called The Magnolia Tree. Easy, feel good read. Did you ever figure out Stridekick? I finally deleted it off my phone.

GG. A joy party and hug sounds like good therapy. All we can do is pick up the reins and get back on the cart, whether from the food or A. I say as long as I keep coming here and going to meetings I'm aware and doing more positive things than negative. Better to savor the muffin or cake and know your next choices will be better, than to take the joy out of it by feeling angry at yourself for doing it. Let's have a good week together .

Waving hi and will check back later. Need to get moving.

Hi All!

Will check in tomorrow. Bit by bit doing better. Hugs to all, Cindy
