Donna, fantastic job! The quilt blocks are so happy and cheery. I love them!

I have been ill all week and couldn't eat the correct foods. I was lucky to get anything to eat so I as living on bread and butter, hot cocoa, basically crap so I know I had to gain. OH WELLLLLLLLLLLLL nothing I could do about it.

Sending you {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Tru, hopefully things will quiet down soon so you can get back on track.

Crappo - hope you feel better soon.

I lost 1.4 pounds! Yay! Total loss is now 4.8 pounds, not a lot but I have kept on track and lost for 3 consecutive weeks. I feel good about that. I have heard you need to do something 21 days to make it a habit so maybe my better eating will become easier as I go.

Yaaaaay, Mary! You go girl!

I agree about making a new habit. It really does become easier as it becomes the norm for you.

Yahoo Mary! Now we get to see more pretty blocks.

love the symbolism

Congrats, Mary!

I've been doing horribly all week. I hope today I can get it together enough to eat right and do a little exercise.

Thanks everyone. It really does help to have encouragement. We can't compare our situation to anyone else because we are each so unique. My family supports me but they are all naturally thin and can eat what they want and never gain. It's nice to converse with others who know the work involved in healthier eating. I can't wait to make another block!
