BuffyBear's Journal, 01 March 2012

While there is something to be said for learning from our 'moments'... you can't change yesterday! Better to start over today, than to continue the madness ;) Sure do hope you can find some non-food related stress relief! Much Love. 

You and me both Buffy!! I just can't seem to maintain the momentum to get my weight going down again - everyday is good for a restart though, at least it helps you maintain and not go up! 

We never run out of "do-overs"... and we never give up hope :) Life has it's ups and downs and we have to give ourselves the freedom to deal with these issues... you're just fine :) 

Hey, if I can travel the country in a semi for two weeks straight,eat every meal in a gas station or restaurant,gain five pounds, and still get do-overs,we all stand a better chance of helping our bodies get healthier. we're human! 

There's no ceiling on do-overs, Buffy girl. You CAN DO it! Have a great day. @83Jen, good to hear from you. Will have to check in on your adventures. 

We NEVER can run out of do-overs...no siree, we can't! That's my opinion, for what it's worth! Re-focus & trying again is just one of those cold hard facts of life for me. I am working on coming to terms with that...that's an ongoing process, somedays easier than others & yesterday you just had a tough one. You owned up to it, acknowledged it & now you are moving on for a better day today...you can do it, we'll all try together. 

This is life and life sometimes does this to us. As Paula said, we can't go back and change yesterday. Just get back on track and you'll be past that little speed bump in your journey. We all have done it and we all have had our share of do-overs. 

You take as many do-overs as you need to girlfriend. I probably would have pigged out myself last night if there had been food available. 

Paula - How does a pedicure sound?  

Tracy - I shouldn't be complaining - I don't have half the stress you have. At least we have the presence of mind in the morning to restart.  

Notfast - Thank you - I like that thought! 

Jen - Thanks. The human body is miraculous! Here's to do-overs.  

Heather - Well, that is a good thing! And so far my day is going well and I expect to get out of here on time for a change. 

GG - Thanks for your encouragement. BTW - I am not worried about you pulling through.  

Davidsmom - I appreciate your comments. And congrats on getting your life back on track. 

Karen - Your stress is a little more understandable. Hope she is feeling better ASAP.  

We ALL have those days, Buffy...the important thing to remember is that as long as we keep trying we have not failed! HUGS! 

Skip doing anything over again...just go forward! Now isn't that a much happier thought? Stress is a major bugaboo on any WOE, but I know you'll find your answers. After all....didn't you just find the answer to your question of what to use as a substitute for instant oatmeal? You'll work your way through this as well. Spring's a'comin' and so is a brand new outlook. 

Stef - You make me feel better - Hugs right back at you. 

Sandy - When I get like that there is no though process involved - just hand to mouth. I need to find a way to engage my brain! Now, I'll just take your advice and take a big step forward.
