Wooeee! I've lost ten pounds and feel great. I am still walking and 6 days out of the week I walk two mile. One day it seems all I can do is one mile. The weather has changed here and when I go out at 4 or 4:30 it is really cold. I am going to buy mittens and a cap this weekend plus a heavier jacket. But then it is 90 degrees during the day. Then by the time I leave at 5 it is much cooler. And by four in the morning it is freezing. Crazy weather.
Since I have started exercising I think more about what I eat or don't eat. Today was the monthly birthday celebration at work and of course they had cake with chocolate filling. I thought about eating it but then I thought about how hard I worked in the morning huffing and puffing and decided I wouldn't have a piece.
Plus I know if I allowed myself to eat it now the next time something tempting crosses my path I would probably eat it. It must be how a recovering alcoholic feels about taking that first drink. I just don't how thin people don't think about food all the time. So I am trying to eat healthier and I think about what I shouldn't eat or what I can eat. But I am still thinking about food all the time. I wish there was a switch in my brain I could flip where I wouldn't think about it incessently. There are so many other things to think about in this world but in my world it is all about food.
If anybody has any secrets about the "D" word let me know. Dieting is just the pits. There just doesn't seem to be any easy way to lose weight.
260 pounds and walking,
Love to you and yours,

Hi Carol:
Wow! Ten pounds is fantastic. YOU GO GIRL!
I wish I had some suggestions for dieting. I, too, think about food a lot. I love to eat. But fortunately, I also like to walk so that helps some with my weight. But I should lose 20 pounds.
Keep up the walking and losing weight. I am sure it motivates you when you can tell that you have lost some weight.
Good luck with your weight loss. I know you can do it!
Love,
JO
congrats carol! you probably lost more than 10 pounds with your walking. your new picture looks a lot different than the other one. you are getting california-ized. blonder, thinner, trendy outfit....i think you are probably still the real carol, tho...huh? the only time that food doesnt enter my mind is after i have eaten.....and that doesnt last nearly long enough. keep up the good work,
