I'm heading out of town today for work. I'll only be gone 1 night this time, so that will make it easier as far as MF. I may do all MF today, as I'll be working tonight and it would be late by the time I had dinner out, which tends to lead to bad choices. Then tomorrow, I'll have more time and could do a nice late lunch for my L&G and hopefully be able to be in control. I'm trying to figure out if I should check my bag as opposed to carrying it on since it will have MF products in it. I know there are posts about those security issues, I'm gonna go search for them.
(Just helps to say out loud what my strategy is)

Am needing to remind myself of why I want this.... so am re-posting the list I created earlier.

I want to be able to hike and bike and play with my kids.
I want to walk up 2 flights of stairs to my office without being winded.
I want to walk without pain in my hips and knees.
I want to shop at Victorias Secret.
I want to feel sexy in my clothes and out of my clothes.
I never want to hear that I have been diagnosed with diabetes.
I want to not be obese on the bmi scale.
I want to buy regular size clothing.
I want to walk into a room and NOT be noticed only because of my weight.
I WANT to be successful, dammit.
Robin's well stated addition: I know my kids can't grow up with BOTH their parents, but I want them to have their remaining parent for a long, long time. And I want them to have a mom who's healthy and physically able to do just about anything she wants to.

New ones:

I want to go kayaking. I like being on boats but avoid it cuz I stress about getting on and off, the whole boat tipping thing. (ick to even think about)
Some day I might just have a date and I want to not worry about the person's reaction to my weight.

Adding today:

I want to not be obsessed with flippin food. I'm tired of it. Am ready to beat this.

Welcome back, Kendra!! You were just listed on the "missing" thread, so I'm glad to see you back!!

I can relate to a lot of your affirmations and desires. I get scared when I see a flight of stairs because it will mean so much pain to my joints. I can touch my toes but can't breathe once I'm down there. I want to shop at normal clothes stores again too.

Hi Kendra,

Glad you're back! Loved your list! I've still got mine on the fridge!

I am battling the flipping food thing too, we'll beat it!

Thanks, friends, for the nice welcome backs. Yesterday, that 'flippin food' thing carried me through. I wasn't feeling particularly motivated, but wasn't particularly wanting food either. On a pre-MF day, that would have led to mindless munching, but yesterday, I felt sorta PO'd at the flippin food, so I wasn't going to let it get the best of me! The mind is a strange and curious thing.... but whatever works.

Congrats on your strength, Kendra !!

A friend of mine loves to say : "the mind is dangerous territory, don't ever go in there alone" ... LOL. Well, her therapist used to say this to her. But anyway, keep up the good work

Kendra, I LOVE the "flippin food" comment!

I call it Frakking food, but that's just because I'm addicted to Battlestar Galactica!

Some stupid piece of food can't beat us! You did it, good!
