BBR -- Sunday, 02/05

One of my credits is similar to my gratitude this morning.

Credit-I have lost a total of 200 lbs as of this morning,I stayed OP and tracked every bite,I did some kind of exercise every day and am getting closer to consistently eating around 30 SP per day.

Gratitude:
First to my loving God with whom I asked 2 1/2 years into this journey to guide me to the weight he wanted me to be(He held up his end,now it's up to me to keep it where He wants me to be).
Second to my loving and supportive DH who has never complained that I wouldn't eat out(esp at Whataburger)every time he wanted to and continues to support me with what I need to do to lose and maintain this weight.
Third to Beck and all of you for your support and kindness and most of all friendship.

I do want to share a funny story about my DH.He was trying to tell me how many points his breakfast was...2 for the egg,2 for each side of his biscuit and 1 for the sausage in the middle.I told him you men have no clue and his answer???If we did we would eat it.He is definitely a keeper and there is never a dull moment with him around for the last 32 years.

Wow, Becky, that is just wonderful and amazing and fabulous!!! 200 lbs! And I whine about how long it takes me to lose 25. No more whining here, I promise. I'm also impressed with the exercise since that is an area I am still resistant to.

And Linda you continue to be an maintenance inspiration to me. Do you ever stop thinking about it, I mean, does it ever just become routine sort of luck brushing your teeth, or do you always have to keep a focus on it in order not to regain? I guess there's still a lot of thinking because you say you still track every day and attend meetings, so maybe the question is, do you think about it less?

Credit for me today is another week OP and down 2 more lbs. I'm tracking and doing meal planning and prep. And most of all, my attitude continues to be one that really helps. As Beck has helped me with, rather than feeling entitled to eat, I feel entitled to all the wonderful things on my advantages list.

Gratitude is the usual: my health, family (children, grandchildren, sibs), having a great job, enough of everything, support here, meetings, friends.

Great posts today.

Becky: Way to go with the 200 pound loss.

Credit for getting to my WW meeting, pretty much staying on program this week, and doing my exercises. Really proud of the doing the exercises. Getting into the habit of doing that is so hard for me.

Grateful for the warmer winter weather we have been having. Like it or not we could use rain and even snow to fill our reservoirs.

I'm in a habit with my eating. Much of my fussing is over exercise for my fitness and my health. Right now the hard part is my late afternoon urge to eat. Some days I do just fine and others I might have about two points of something. Eating away from home can cause me to struggle and again sometimes I do fine and other tie I might have too much. Over the years what helps are little things I say to myself. Things like I remind myself about staying away from sugar because I don't want to get T2 diabetes, reminding myself this is the way I eat now and it is the right way to eat for me, also that I only have to eat enough to stave off hunger until the next meal.

I'll give myself credit for a successful February weigh in. I do however need to put my nose to the grindstone so that I'm not over my magic number in March. I'm having trouble with evening attacks of the munchies. It all boils down to willpower. I need to strengthen my willpower muscle (along with every other muscle in my body!)

Happy big game Sunday everyone!
