Happy Tuesday All.
My eating habits have moved to borderline insane - I almost think I am trying to gain all my weight back as fast as possible. Eggnog instead of 2% milk as my late night drink? Along with non-stop eating of Trader Joe's Blistered Peanuts (which are so so so delicious) ... sneaking candy here and there ... Cheesecake ... Double Chocolate Brownies ... oh my. A little insane. Need to get things under control ... I had hit my goal and these little justifications of "treating myself" because I am still 16 pounds lighter than I was at this point last year does not hold water, and are excuses for me. We make bargains with ourselves all the time.
Anyway, thought I'd jot it down in the old journal so I get it out there in the open and start facing it.
On a completely separate note - my wife has concocted a tumeric/ginger tea that claims anti-inflammatory benefits, among other things - i know other folks have tried this - don't know if it will help or not but am drinking an 8 oz. glass of it a day - see what comes of it. One thing I do know - it has a real kick - and tastes awful. Better work. :)
Have a great day all.

At least you are owning up to it. I had to laugh when I read about your wife trying to get you try something awful tasting for your health. With my hubby's cancer, so many people try to get him to try things from food to treatment's. My hubby calls these "voodoo." He will have none of it! However, he did try for over 6 month's asparagus for inflammation and our youngest daughter talked him into Acupuncture and that made his pain even more unbearable for day's. Other than that it is what it is and we just take it one day at a time. Enjoy your day. Truly, J.J.

One of my concerns, maybe fears even, is how I will handle food once I'm at goal. I have a tendency now to sneak in small cheats - still some holiday candy around I should just throw out - and while I log them in they slow my progress down from what it could be. At least you recognize the tendency and are addressing it, I'm sure you'll deal with it in a good way. I've heard good stuff about tumeric and ginger. Read a study not long ago on great benefits from drinking ginger tea daily, I was doing it for a while but stopped. It's definitely strong flavored.

@JJ - I maybe have missed where your husband is battling cancer. One day at a time is about all we can do, I suppose. I am sorry to hear. i figure - i don't understand most things in the world, and if the effect isn't harmful, i should see if there is a benefit.
Jim - i think cheating is the easy part --- the tough part is remembering that once i reached my goal that i still needed to be as careful or MORE careful if i intend to stay where i am at and go farther. thanks for the support both of you.

Tea tastes awful, Bill. Maybe I should find a pill form? I take it that is what you are taking?
