  queenie ~ again, don't be so hard on yourself, and so quick to kick your own butt.  You have quit smoking, what a great start on taking care of "you"! Now, speaking from experience here, quitting smoking will only hlep you gain more weight.. sad to say.. I gained like 40 pounds when I quit. {but that is no reason to start again}  Now, being an emotional eater is hard too... its a habit you can't just "give up" because we have to eat to stay alive. A food addiction is one of the hardes addicitons there is.. for that reason.. we just can't put it down and walk away!!!!  It takes time, and a lot of discipline, but you can do this queenie, if you want it bad enough, you can do it.  You also can accept yourself for who you are right now...... the beauitful queenie we all know and love.. just the way she is!  {{{{{hugs}}}}}}

  quietone: awww thanks quietone... it's just sometimes hard... don't worry i'm not smoking... but i'm really hungry...  i didnt eat dinner because i was really frustrated about my weight. but i'm okay... i know i can do this... i just dont know when to start...thanks for the encouragement quietone... =)

  by the way do you have any food? i'm hungry!!!

• quietone said on Jul 16, 2008....

  queenie, LOL I am so bad myself..... ahh... I just polished off some cheetoes!  my fingers are now orange, a tell tale sign!  One thing I have learned, you have to eat small amounts 6 times a day. .. 3 small meals and 3 healty snacks, and never let yourself get hungry.. that they say is the best. but of course, it dosen't include choclolate, or cheetoes!  hahaha.... darn!!

  Boy can I relate to this one!  I'm totally an emotional eater.  I am most guilty of eating when I'm bored.  Right now I'm 30 pounds over my healthy weight and that alone makes me all stressed out and wanting to grab something fattening!!!!

  No big answers from me.  I have been able to "hold the line" on the weight by making very small changes.  One at a time.  You've already done that by not smoking anymore.  How about another small change?  Take a walk every evening.  Gradually increasing the distance and frequency.

  Baby steps my friend.  It's all about baby steps.

• queenparanoia said on Jul 16, 2008....

  uniquey: that's a great idea... yeah i'm gonna do that baby steps at a time... thanks uniquely... =)

Just think you may be miserable when you are thin as a pin. You'll be fine . . . but if you want to cut back on the eating thing . . . I'm willing to help you with that sweet Japanese corn on the cob you mentioned awhile back . . . just send it this way and keep it comming  .  .  .  see ya later . . . . . . . . . . . .

  cayenneman: aww wyou rememberred that... =) well it's hard controlling the eating part but i'm gonna try... thanks for stopping by... =)

  Don't be too hard on yourself QP. It takes little steps. Set smaller goals--5 pounds at a time. And don't skip meals. Skipping meals only slows down your metabolism which can cause you to gain weight even if you are eating less.
  
  
  Since you just stopped smoking, buy lots of gum. Reach for a stick of gum whenever you have a craving for a ciggie. This will help keep you from reaching for food every time you have a craving for a cigarette or just to have something in your hand.

  I've lost over 100lbs one time and if you count all the times that I started, lost a bit, then gained it back, then it must be in the 3 or 4 tons area.  
  You can't be mean to yourself....hard yes....but not mean.  Stop critizing yourself to the point where you feel bad. Once you accept the fact that you are in a certain condition (overweight) and want out of it then you look at it with the attitude of a job...you know, you get up in the morning, go to work, do your tasks, then come home.
  Only now you know that eating a certain food will cause you to get more calories in your stomach than what you really need. Change what you eat so you can get that " full " feeling and not have too many calories. 
  Concentrate on calorie intake not fat intake or anything else.
  Make sure you take your vitamin supplements (with every meal, it won't hurt you and will keep you healthy)
  Serve yourself your normal portion then divide it in thirds...leave a third on your plate....every time.... until you get used to it.
  Get used to getting up from the table just a tad hungry.
  To survive the human body needs only about a fistfood of food a day....so don't worry about wether you're not eating enough. 
  Vitamin supplements will add the extra " oomph " your body needs and any excess will be eliminated naturally so I've taken it several times (with every meal) a day and it's kept me almost immune to colds for the last 3yrs or so.
  I've lost weight only by dieting not exercising as it bores me to exercise and only lately I've been using a stationary bike to strengthen my legs.
   
  In short...like many things in life...losing weight is really a mind set.  Once you set your mind to it and make it a lifestyle you'll see the weight come right off.
   
  Wish you well and I want to see your pic in a bikini by Christmass time...Ok...?
  :^)
  Hugs

  sis, what was the ultrasound for?
  
  z already covered the practical side. it does take a bit of discipline, and that means getting on a regular schedule, too--that's always helpful. working should help with that, though.

  zayda: i'm not really fond of gum... i actually reach for lollipops when i want to smoke... don't worry i didnt smoke... =)

  rollingc: i'll try to bein  bikini in december lol... you know thanks for the advice about the vitamins. my friend is recommending it too... and youre right losing weight is a mind set. it's just hard you know. especially if i get pressured from other people.... but dont worry i'm gonna do it...

  silver: bro, remember my cramps posts? well i went to a docotr and she said i have to have an ultrasound... i'm going back to her for the results...

• Zayda said on Jul 17, 2008....

  QP: Well, lollipops work, but you need to be careful about the calories in them, if you are trying to lose weight. Try to find some that are sugar free at least.

• queenparanoia said on Jul 17, 2008....

  zayda: i'll try... =)
