Radiana, you are so on target to not lose sight of the bigger picture. I can lose my bearings when I get trapped in "the moment". Are you getting enough sunshine? Vitamin D deficiencies can cause depression. I live in the land of 300 days of annual sunshine and my dr still prescribed Vit D.

You have experienced what I read in a book "Does this clutter make my butt look fat?" It made the connection between clutter in your home also showing up in clutter on your body. I think I have also read the same connection with the S.H.E. authors.

I decluttered 2 years ago and could easily do it again today. I have labeled this year "less is best". After my son graduates from high school next year, we plan to move back to the Pacific Northwest and I won't be able to take it all. And with fabric prices at such highs, it would almost be cheaper to ship what I can't take with me.

QB, I used to keep something called Emetrol, but it is getting impossible to find. Can't even find a generic - thanks for sharing this.

I'm so talented I've learned to do both!

I got good news today. Had a mammogram Thursday which I have been dreading after last years scare which prompted double stereotactic biopsies. Those results showed no evidence of malignancy.

Already got the results which are NORMAL. God is good.

Missy I must try and find this craft book I bought several years ago brcause it was all crafts made with bras, girtles, and corsets. Its very funny but really had some good items. Thet had several styles of purse made with bras using the cups, straps and front closurers. Some you would even be willing to carry. Thet covered whites and beiges with fabric or tie dyed them. They added deco items. Sounds like you could make some totes if they will hold watermelons. Think of it as going green and losing weight at the same time, make them into bags , take to store to save on plastic, then laugh your a.. knowing what they are made of.

I love your idea of charity quilts for unwed moms shelter. I've never bought fabric at fabric.com. It's good of them to make it right for you. Have you bought from them before? Good luck on the quilts. I'll bet they're awsome!

Hi, I so far are two pounds more than I did yesterday and I haven't cheated or go off the program. I was ready to quit and get back to normal food but then I reconsidered and thought healthy wins today.

For the lady who is depressed about things in general, I too, think you should look into some counseling. Depression is not fun but there is help for it to make more manageable.

For those who have sling shots, think of me with 54 G's. Makes my back hurt. Now you know why I am wearing my gown right now. (Too much informations I guess,. LOL)

I stepped on the scale tonight and I lost 1 pound. I have really got back to being serious about losing this weight.

Lynne, I'm glad, and know you are relieved, to get a good mammogram report. Hubby and I have done meal planning for once I'm home. He will take good care of me. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Carrie, woo hoo for losing that lb and getting yourself back in gear for losing weight. Remember...you are the one that got me going again. I'm proud of you for your overall loss and keeping it off. Hang in there, girl, I'm with you. We can and we will do this!!!

Okay, tata girls....I only have big ones because I am overweight. My boobs are the 1st place I lose weight. Once all my excess weight is gone, my girls will be gone too. But I don't mind. I will gladlly give up boobs if it goes with losing this weight.
I love the comment someone made the other day about theirs sweeping the ground. haha

I hope you all get a good night's sleep and have a good day tomorrow. Goodnight all. Sandy

I am sorry for your loss! I can relate, I gained my weight after my son died also. It is time to get it off!!
