Re: Monday - Roll Call!
Thank you Sherry!
Hey Michigander, by all means do join! How nice it is to have you with us. Thank you for the compliment. This Second Time Around Club is one reason I stuck with it. I was doing good until Christmas hit. I'm a baker, and baked 100's of cookies for family and friends. I thought, Christmas day, 1 gingerbread man cookie couldn't hurt me. I even made one without the icing, yes......familiar with that....that's an EXCUSE....(Thank you Joy!!!) By the time Valentines day rolled around, I sat down and ate a 2 pound box of Whitmans Sampler Chocolate, by myself.....even after getting as sick as I did, and believe me, it was sick, I'd gained 14 pounds. 14 pounds in 6 weeks. How did I do that??? How could I do that???
I looked at myself for a real long time in the mirror that night. I made the promise to myself, that I would never feel this way again. Next morning signed onto the board. Blah, blah, Scooter, blah, blah, back again.....feeling pretty grouchy, pretty irritable, feeling guilty and ready to be slammed by my old Atkin's friends I'd left in the dark.
Not here. I was welcomed like the prodigal son, with open arms and warm greetings and understanding. Outback Jess made a post that shook my inner core, and here I am, having a great day, very proud, and pleased to be here talking to you telling you that this is possible. We live and learn and we move on!
If you ever need any help, or just a shoulder to lean on sometime, don't be afraid to ask, you'll find lots and lots of encourgement here. From time to time we all get to shine, you just happen to hit on a day when it happened to be me, it's a group effort, believe me!!
Anyway....I'm rambling.....love to have you here, it's okay to get mad at yourself it you cheat, just put more energy and effort to find out what lies ahead, and don't look back, look always forward!!
Good for you!!
