This is huge. What am I saying? This makes me huge! Emotional Eating has been a constant battle for me for the last nine years. At one point I had gained 34 lb. Above is my before and after photos. I have lost it through Weight Watchers but I still need to go to the meetings every week to keep from falling back into it. Guess its my AA only the addiction is food. A child with RAD starts screaming and I start reaching for chocolate. So here is what I try hard to do now. Exercise every day and pour my stress into my work out. I try to get mad as I start. It makes a ginormous difference (thanks for the word Renee). I take time for myself. I talk it out. I do this blog. I pray. Food is not our friend it is only fuel. Sooooo as I battle my emotions today, I will pray for the strength to make wise choices about what fuel I choose. A few of my favorite diet/exercise websites are: http://www.weightwatchers.com/ http://www.dwlz.com/ and http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/

Gosh, friend, I feel like I have been gone from my computer forever after catching up on all of your posts! You continue to amaze me!! You are strong - and knowledgable -and a great source of comfort to others like me! What a gift you are giving the world with all of this information! I am trying - really I am - to pencil myself in on my own schedule. It's really hard for me though! I, too, want to join your friend and throw water on you as you go by while running your marathon; but I know I have to make myself get into the race. Keep pushing me - keep reminding me that it's okay - and then, someday we will either finish that race together or become the next Thelma and Louise! LOL I love ya girl! Keep up the great work!
I am so not ready for this one. I don't have the strength. I don't wanna run the race. Some days, I don't even wanna get out of bed. Thank God for my attached kids that keep me on this side of sanity, sometimes by a thread, but still on this side. I am anxious to start therapy with B, and oh so scared of what is to come before complete healing.

Funny stuff! But I think the two of you are far from being Thelma & Louise. Keep up the good work Brenda! Food is a tough one.
Denise - LOL. You funny girl. We can be Thelma and Louise if it means running around the country in a cool old convertible though. Let's go! (I think I'll drive)
Linda N. - It will be hard but I am very excited to see what God is going to do in your little girls life. She will be transformed.
Rachelle - Food is a tough one and probably always will be. Too bad your daughter doesn't like science. I'm trying to find someone who can make for that is bad for you taste bad and food that is good for you taste good. Couldn't one of our college kids do that? What's all this money going for?
Brenda - you are welcome for the word. ;-) Thelma and Louise doesn't sound bad if a young Mr. Pitt is still involved...
Renee,
Young Mr. Pitt is much older and is Brangilina now. I saw her in Tomb Raider. You don't want to mess with her.
