Good evening everyone, I have had a wonderful Easter. I spent the day with DH & DS. So that meant no family fights, yippee! We have a big ole jar of jelly beans, and just for today I am allowing myself to have a couple every now and then. I am not eating handfuls at a time, and I am not feeling guilty about the few I do eat. And, just to top it all off, DH made potato plotski for dinner! So, I didn't have to cook and DS is in charge of dishes woohoo. Now this was not a diet friendly dinner, but that's okay too because I don't do this every week.

So my prayer for all of you is that you allow yourselves peace and happiness whenever and wherever possible. Find the joy because you deserve it!

Thank you LauriJo. Glad to hear you had a happy Easter. What is potato plotski? Sandy

It is the Polish version of potato pancakes, fried of course. Yummy

Carrie I am sorry for your loss. My BIL commited suicide and it is something most of the family has never fully recovered from.

May your husband be blessed with a wonderful job. Carol

I had a wonderful Easter. My husband forgot to invite his family until the last minute, but many came anyway. I ate to much, but I am not going to weight myself until next week or until I get lots of courage! I decided I was not going to worry about what I ate this week. I was going to enjoy my vacation with my husband and Easter with my children and grandchildren. This is what "normal" people do. I will just exercise it off in the next couple weeks.

I have to go back to work tomorrow. I work with children who have mental illnesses. So tomorrow will be like starting over with our routine. Plus, I get one or two new students starting tomorrow. Aghhhh!

I like the kids and the staff I work with so that is a positive. It's just some days are a bit more challenging than others.

I hope everyone who celebrated Easter or Pesach/Passover had a joyous time. (Although Passover ends tomorrow.) For all others I hope you had a great weekend!

Good morning, all. I hope you all made it through Easter without too much damage to your getting healthy plan. I did great at dinner, but did too much snacking last night at home. I will weigh myself later to see the damages.

I love Easter. I see it as a new beginning every year - sort of like a personal New Years's Day. My new beginning calls for doing more housework and reclaiming the space that clutter has taken over, so I'm off to get started. Where do I start?? The fat on my body is my body's clutter, so it can be part of the plan.

Thank you for a place to put this in print. It makes me real.

I AM eating right and becoming more healthy!!!!!
