Yikes! Just turned 30, and heavier than everier

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'm a new poster. I've been listening to the podcasts for a few weeks

now, and perhaps they helped over the holidays, but I still gained 4-5

pounds from november to now (insert frownie face).

Well, I'm on a mission to become slender.

I've got some positive intentions for today

I'm currently eating! a breakfast with protein and fiber. yum.

I wrote in my success journal last night.

I did a mental re-do while in a drugged Xmas stupor* last night.

And a preview for this morning's breakfast.

*We went on a buying spree to Target and picked up more ornaments than

you can fathom, as well as a 7 foot prelit, remote-controlled tree,

all for 250 dollars. It's a little odd to shop on the 29th, but I had

been visiting relatives since the 20th (weight gain anyone?)

My mama's a binge-eater-food-addict, and I realized for once how

scared I was for her. See, she was just Dx'd with thyroid cancer a few

weeks ago, and is on a no-iodine diet in preparation for her

treatment. Still, she was SNEAKING food. what a mess. This is her LIFE

at stake. Is a piece of cake or a bowl of guacamole worth it?

Sorry so long, just thought I'd get some of this off my chest.
