Don’t you get tired of

thinking about eating or not eating? I know I felt that way when I went

to church camp for a week. It seems like we spend so much time thinking

about how we will eat that we cannot enjoy the other things around us.

I see myself obsessing over what

will be on the menu later.

“Oh no”, I think,”

I want to be sure to be hungry for the next meal”. I am trying to relax

about those issues, because frankly, I think it will drive me crazy.

I try to focus on one meal at a time

then forget about food.

Buffets are hard but if I am well

fed before time then I do better than if I sacrifice for my trip to the buffet

table.

My tough issue is car trips.

In my family as a child my father ate the whole way on vacation and so did

I. I taught my children the same bad habit. We pack our car full of

junk food and eat because we are bored. The last three years I haven’t

eaten much throughout the car ride, but I sure do suffer the ‘pull’

of food. I haved chewed a lot of gum and drank a lot of diet pop (which

means more bathroom stops). I would like to break that habit to be where

it doesn’t even bother me.

Have a good time on your trip and

relax, it doesn’t matter what you gain or lose in weight, just in

memories.

Hey everyone,

Well, I'm in Vegas! My fiance is playing in the WSOP as I type this,

but they are not allowing spectators, so I decided to write an entry

about IE on the trip so far. Feel free to comment if you want, I feel

like I've had some (self-)insightful thoughts on IE in the last few days.

get some yarn and you can knit and your kids can finger knit yarn rope that can be made into things later

Knitting keeps the hands busy- too busy to think about food.
