Thoughts
I really need to start posting more. In some wierd way it always helps.
The show 18 Kids and Counting featured husband Jim Bob going on a weight watchers eating program. It got me wondering if I should try that. After all, it's cheaper than JC and I can do it online, right?
On the other hand, I know I can do it. As a therapist said once, my food is attached to my feelings. Well, it doesn't have to be, right? Last Tuesday I dropped my son at his mothers day out then drive directly to Sonic and bought a mustard burger (no cheese) and fries. Yeah, it was totally good. Then I made some homemade sugar cookies because I know how to make them low-fat. Nevertheless, I was so full I thought I was going to puke. Then I went straight to bed and slept. Slept the sleep of exhaustion - mostly mental. My brain has to go and be and in so many places with no breaks. Some days I do so well I am amazed at myself. But, when the food starts taking over, I know there is some attention needing somewhere.
I wish there was a movie I wanted to see playing this weekend.

I like what your therapist said - and I think that describes me completely. I tend to overeat according to my emotions. I will also do just like you said - amazingly well for a while then break down and go the wrong way. I hope we are both able to learn how to handle our feelings and our food much better in the future! :-) Blogging about it helps me immensely...and as much as I hate to report gains it helps to see it in black and white. Plus you have all these wonderful people to boost you back up!!!!

Blogging on EP really does work!
It's the best form of diet and therapy - it's been brilliant for me and you're right - it always helps!

Yes to WW...
Weight Watchers online is terrific. You can log in and look at any time. I did it a few years ago to great success. Perhaps if I'd kept counting points I wouldn't be here again!
I think JC is a great launching point for portion control, and admittedly, if I had the budget I might be inclined to do it. However, WW is a tool like the others that if followed will result in weight loss = )
Sleep? Necessary and essential. Always. I never feel guilty for sleeping! Ever. A must to recharge my batteries!
