I would be grateful if someone would yell at me for half of what I put in my mouth. Or come up behind me and smack the candy bar out of my hand.

DairyFarmersWife - The hand smacking will be difficult since you live on the other side of the state, but I can still yell!

Ok Buffy - Get your ass into gear and get into that exercise room of yours and get going!!! **Said with as much love as I can but with a very stern voice**

Tracy - Good point! Maybe I'll find better uses for the elliptical other than hanging my bras to dry.

Buffy -- I hear what you are saying and a very thought provoking entry. I would much rather someone tell me the error of my ways then let me continue down the path of destruction. We can all be that kind of friend for each other!!

Gail - I appreciate that. If everybody agrees to it then there shouldn't be any hurt feelings.

I don't mind helpful hints and gentle nudges in the right direction. Each journal is personal. Some people will go overboard with criticism because they think their way is the only way. It's not one size fits all as you told me before, Buff. Be careful what you ask for. LMAO!!! That being said.... you have never offended me.... cause we are good buddies.... and I think you have been doing an awesome job. YOU GOT THIS NOW! Hugs!

Ditto what every one said...:O)

Good point Buffy- I know I love the gentle approach in most cases BUT I really don't change anything until I am reprimanded and told to get my act together :)
Thanks for your observation and making us think about our motivation.

Mom - I have been guilty of that before. But maybe I've finally learned that just because something worked for me doesn't mean it will work for someone else.

Bren - I'll Ditto those sentiments too!

Newmooney - You never know what that one special thing will be that will motivate someone. Of course, when someone on FS is really dedicated, I like to come along for the ride!

Mom - PS - What exactly do you mean by "be careful what you wish for"? What exactly do you have in mind? Should I be nervous?

So - how are you doing with drinking your water every day? That may help with the food consumption. Logging everything and maybe watching your fat grams could also help - it doesn't seem as if you are off track but perhaps just discouraged. E - lip - ti - cal!

*Mom gets on her broom and flies over to Buffy's house to see if she is on her elliptical machine* ~~~~ *Plans a potion to slip into Buffy's morning coffee to get her motivated for those last few pounds* *DONE!* *Flies away cackling and humming the "Bewitched" theme song.*

Okay Buff... we have all gained a bit of weight these last few days. The party is over.... let's hop to it. No more grazing, no more off plan...... we have to turn the scale around, right? Just do it... don't think about it. It's go go go go! ;) (I was a drill sergeant in a previous life). Hugs!

Why don't we agree amongst our usual little group here that we exercise more tough love???? I have sometimes wanted to say something, but when you don't know how it's going to be taken, you usually back off - but whoever agrees that we need to be a bit more stern with each other, maybe just agree here. I did try a bit of tough love on OWW but it seems to have made people back off....
