Thanks for the inspiration!

CeAnn~ This information you have posted is AWESOME!! I love digging into the mental aspect of weight loss. You are so right, that it is the key to our success & / or failure. I think attaining the mental state to love our bodies in spite of our weight probably is equal to what some might call enlightenment. We are probably so driven by automatically negative & repetitive, habitual, mental thinking, to get fresh & genuine thoughts that empower us might remind us of how it felt to be a new born toddler. CeAnn, I like your style, & am grateful to be now be friends. Thank you! :-)))

ah... CeAnn, honey, I'm right there with you. 2 months of frustration here. Right now I am re-focusing and re-committing. I have re-read the list I made of my "why's" - Why I wanted to lose weight to begin with. I have come a long way, but am only halfway to goal. I need to let go of my hangups and self-sabotage and get back to it. Thanks for posting - I know you didn't do it to kick me in the butt, but I was feeling the same and haven't been active on any boards b/c I felt like I've been 'failing'. But I will consider it a time of reflection and refocus on my goals and my 'why's'. Thanks for the link. So, let's both of us JUST DO IT! No more excuses and postponements. Today is the day! (((hugs))) and :high five: my friend!

Lovey

Hi CeAnn, I hope you are still on here, because I totally relate & want to connect & do this challenge with you! Hope you are well. A newbie :)
Instability or stability

I love this ......it's more then just losing the unwanted weight.....we need to find the right balance ...get off the Yoyo's of dieting.... Be honest with our selfs ..... Only then can we reach our goals. I'm just starting my journey & this is the best mindset I have ever been in. Thanks for sharing ;)

Lou

Thanks for letting us into your life, and sharing! What a wonderful story. What a comparison of Honabe, trying a blue cushion and trying something new and learning new way to find balance in one's life. With anything in the beginning is the hardest to start something one isn't familiar with. But, once we build our confidence, keep trying we get better. Currently, I'm working on finding the strength within me like you had said, "...then it is like someone sticks a new kind of pad under my foot, unbalancing me ... again. All the piece fly apart so that I have to figure out how to gather them together finding a new level of stability and balance by learning new interactions between nutrition, rest, exercise, mindset, emotions, etc."

I think I heard on TV a few years ago that companies were allowed to be "X amount" off of the actual amount/calories/info, etc. If I'm not mistaken it was quite a bit too. Maybe Teresa would know or you could look it up. I'm off for the day, fighting another headache =/ Let me know if you find out what % companies are allowed to be off in their labeling!

Since I started weighing my food a few months ago, I found that a LOT of packages are off. The worst offense were these little red-skinned potatoes...the package said that a serving size was "about 5," but when I weighed them, it ended up being 2 or 3 depending on their size. I know they can't change the packaging every time they grow a new crop, and I know some potatoes will be larger than others, but double the actual serving size is a big difference! Also, companies are allowed to get away with "x amount" of a lot of things in their products, not just trans fat (like bugs, rat droppings, mold, etc.). These are the things that make me want to go live on a farm somewhere and produce all of my own food!

My favorite topic--food! I made a "hash" with Italian sausage, onion, beets, beet greens and kale served over brown rice.

CeAnn, Thanks so much for writing this. I had no idea that labels could be off by so much!

It's hard enough to use labels with the sometimes-crazy definition of a "serving." Now we have cause to doubt the accuracy of the numbers they give us.

I wish someone would invent a calorimeter suitable for home use.
