Wow! No journal from me in a month... So here is the down low. I can't go very long without a scale. I think I get too cocky about it. Then while I am showing off I go and fall off the wagon. lol! The scale is my friend because it scares the crap out of me and keeps me in line. Also it is always brutally honest. It's a love hate thing. Whenever I try to cheat on it with food I am punished. I deserve it though. Even too much "Healthy foods" make you fat.
Going to weigh in on Monday and I am scared to see how much I may have gained in the past 6 weeks. Even though I am always finding healthier ways to eat my portions get out of control. Apparently I have the mindset that since it is less in calories I can eat more. I really need help with my mindless eating even though it is healthy foods.
I feel like I have two options with my belly. Either I am hungry or content. I never feel full. Is this how it is supposed to be when you eat healthy? I am confused. I miss the feeling of being full. Not stuffed, but full. Does anyone else feel this way and how do I mentally deal with it? I don't think people understand when I say I can put away tons of food and not feel full. I very, very rarely drink any of my calories so explain please? I drink tons of water so shouldn't I feel full when I am done?
Haven't been lifting any weights for about 2 months but I have been walking my butt off. Seriously it looks better than it has in my entire life. Wish I could say the same about the rest. We will see how this next month goes. VBS in just a little over a month away and I really have to get cracking. Just as nervous this year as last about doing well with it. Hoping it all comes together. I think I would feel better if I knew for a fact that I would have all the helpers I need. I always do the brunt of the work besides actual teaching. During VBS I am working in the sound room and kitchen and anywhere else that could use the help. If i have the time to spare I am taking pictures for the family night slide show. So I would appreciate any prayers for the needed help and a good year.
All my kids are well and I am hoping we have a good summer. Got my garden going and everything so far looks great. Hoping for the rain so I don't have to water as much. Also praying it does well to lower the cost for our family this summer. Feeding 5 kids gets a little spendy but I wouldn't change it for anything. I think I am finally out of things to blab about. I hope all of my friends here are having a blessed, beautiful summer. Go out and enjoy all the magnificent things God created! :)

Yey! I am glad you are back and journaling, but how long will it last? :P I think you’ll be fine at the weigh in, besides if you gain, it must be muscle, right? Have you been remembering to measure yourself? I have been awful about it… I am bad with mindless eating too, especially when I am watching a movie; that popcorn doesn’t last past the opening credits… I think when you are “eating healthy” you are supposed to stop eating when you feel not hungry/content, because it takes something like 15 minutes for the brain to process that you are full. My suggestions are eat slowly, enjoy the flavor, and start a conversation where you do most of the talking. Maybe that will take your mind off of the full feeling you are looking for. Good luck with VBS, it sounds tough, but I’m sure it will all come together for you!!

Well, it is about health and not a number on the scale, so try not to stress if you have gained (and maybe you haven't!) You are staying active and eating healthy clean foods - that is what is important!! Good luck with VBS sounds like you have your work cut out for you!

I have found "full" to be a recreational event that you plan ahead for. I think you should always feel a "little" bit hungry, but a little bit hungry means you are easily distracted, from thoughts of your belly, by life's events and you forget all about it. If you are always devoted to being comfortably full, then it will take more and more to make you "comfortably full" as time goes on, and that's what got all of us here to begin with. IMHO.

Glad you are back journalling! As for the scale, I bet you'll be fine. You're not complaining about how your clothes are fitting...! And if there is a gain, it will be a small one. It doesn't take much to go overboard though, I totally get that! As for the fullness of your stomach, I totally get that as I never really feel full anymore either. Usually after I eat supper and I'm sitting there going I want more, my stomach is not full yet. But I know that if I wait a bit, I will get that content feeling.
Good luck with VBS. I hope you get the help you need. I wish I could help you out but I don't feel qualified but I know that you would help me. Sigh...
Have a fantastic summer! I glad that your kids are doing good. The Lord will provide the rain for your garden and all the good things you need for you children.

I'm with you on the scale - sometimes I need the little kick in the butt from it... The garden sounds awesome - I'm always so jealous of everyone's gardens, but I am just too lazy to do all of the weeding - I hate weeding!!! :)

Good to hear from you! I know I too have that same love-hate relationship with the scale, but also need it to stay in check. And, I also find when I'm eating healthy (I've had some bumps on that road, but always feel better when I do), I don't get as full, & even when I do, it doesn't last as long as when I eat the junk. But it certainly sounds like you're doing all the right things -- eating well, exercising,etc. Good for you! And, good luck with VBS -- you'll be in my prayers! xoxox

Well since I am starting DFW challenge I am going to gently step on the scale Friday morning and check out the damage. Hoping it won't be too hard on me.
