I got this from my weight loss center, it is a sheet that were you list some evants that might sabotage your weight loss. and some questions you should ask your self before you give into temptations. it really makes you think. On a piece of paper list title it "Events that could sabotage my weight loss sucess."
one side list Scheduled other side Unscheeduled
give a breif description of each event and possible temptations.

then write these 3 questions.
1 Does this food choice fit into my goal for weight loss?
2 How will I feel about tis choice tomorrow?
3 What can I do instead of sabotaging my success?

Keep this tacked up were you can see it and also list at the end ot the paper

Out door activites that you really enjoy doing in the summer
and the positive things about them.

I did this and you will be amazed how it makes you think about it
and maybe even prepair your self for the event.

Good Luck

Anita

good advice anita and thanks for sharing it. i agree we are faced with so many holidays,vacations, cookouts and special events that we have alot of temptation around. sure it tastes great but the next day you feel mad you ate it so i like the questions.
keep em coming.

Well here is an unexpected suprise in the mail. hubby and I got an inventation to his Brothers house for a family cook out in Aug. He thinks I do not want to go.... (and he is right). well I will tell you his family likes me, they have to because I am Kevin's (my hubby) wife. but I am not his FIRST wife of 10 years who they all adore, and love and miss , and she is such a wonderful person gage me.. well anyways I told my DH that yea I do want to go. and I will go. and if it means sitting there in his brothers huge new house that is so beautful and so nicely decorated that I will my husband is so envious of his little brother because of that because he has that and we do not, because his brother does not have kids and we do. Some times I do not understand my DH but hey the grass is not alwas greener on the other side. I love my home even though we rent. I have made it a nice home. it is warm and inviting and I know someday we will own the house of our dreams but for now there is a roof over our head and we are ok.
Now about the party, I am going to go and I am going to enjoy my self. and I am going to look as good as I can. and I am just going to be ME chatty, nice, and helpful. Geez I should get the emmy after this.. LOL


Anita....:rose:

Anita,

You'r too funny :laugh: I hope you get the emmy.

I hope you go, have fun, and show them just why dh is with Anita and not with miss ex. If she were all that, they'd still be together. And since they aren't, I guess she aint all that! Maybe one day they'll see things the way they are and not the way they imagin them to be.
Any way, have lots of fun, and remember about the events that could lead you to sabotoge you weight loss efforts. put an event like this with the stress this people can cause, and bang! Could be a disaster. Becareful.

Take care,

Darlene :bfly:
