And I agree with you about &quot;never&quot; and &quot;always&quot; - those words don&#39;t work for me when it comes to food. I&#39;m just trying to stuff in as many good things as possible so that, with luck, I&#39;ll have less room (and appetite) for the not-so-good things.Erika Kerekeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05634307142866395851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517892803810600375.post-57206229659898974902011-12-12T22:46:42.139-08:002011-12-12T22:46:42.139-08:00I think your food looks amazing!

I know I was there not too long ago. When I moved to Nebraska, I gained 100 pounds in about four years. Along with the weight gain, I lost so much sense of myself. It was horrible. I lost about half of the weight working with a trainer for about 18 months. I need to lose more, but feel so much stronger and happy...<br /><br />Except, I&#39;m struggling not to slide back into my &quot;coma&quot; after my move and after injuring my foot and having to be a lot more inactive than I need to be just to maintain my current weight. <br /><br />So while I&#39;m heartbroken for you and how you feel right now, I hope you know that I&#39;ll be here as your cheerleader, if you need me. <br /><br />Especially if you&#39;ll return the favor and kick my keister every once in a while. =)Steff @ The Kitchen Trialshttp://kitchentrials.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517892803810600375.post-39397637674251957492011-12-01T00:11:07.367-08:002011-12-01T00:11:07.367-08:00I am so happy (and scared) to read this before Xmas and new years. I have been awake from my coma for the past few days as well but refusing to get out of bed. All I can think is my grandma&#39;s coming to town and so are her holiday classics. I think reading this now was hopefully just the thing I needed to tip the scales back into balance. It scares me so but I like what you said about your healthy mind and body. If all was well inside I wouldn&#39;t feel so sad or frustrated. Thank you so much for your honesty.Boots and Cateyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13278752735267955936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517892803810600375.post-28375207907084701202011-11-30T23:37:47.752-08:002011-11-30T23:37:47.752-08:00ahahah!! were you writing this story about ME???!!!<br /><br />I think we should keep each other accountable...i don&#39;t like dismissing entire food groups either - mostly because i&#39;m lazy but also because I really don&#39;t like denying myself like that. having said that it&#39;s like you called it - having balance!!! knowing when enough is enough...<br /><br />Much love, from someone who gets it...MUWAH!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04676782477781065527noreply@blogger.com
