I decided to post that post because of you...

You know that my pm's and rep notes to you are harsh....

It's because I see a lot of my 20 yr old self in you...

You said it best... Sometimes seeing it in the words that someone else wrote down is like a kick in the gut (paraphrase)

That's what this thread had done for me...

So maybe share myself a little and see if I can do the same for someone else...


Breakfast:

1 cup of coffee... 1 teaspoon sugar and half the amount of creamer.. (slowly decrease the sugar and creamer until I'm drinking black... STOP using things as a delivery meathod for fats and sugars)

1 cup of white rice ( I have brown, but I knew that being too gung ho FOR ME is setting myself up to fail) no sugar/ no butter... Chopped up two dried aprocots for the sweetness

2 slices of cantalope

Snacks:
Dried cranberries and carrots... (still high in sugar, but at least it's natural)

Lunch:
1 Cup Rice with cranberries, as much salad as I can eat... no cheese, no crutons, no meat, lemon (per usual) as dressing..

Snacks:

Almonds and cantalope

Dinner: I have no clue....

I will bring ONE cup of coffee to work with me... Non flavored creamer and 1 tsp of sugar... I WILL drink at least 3 8 oz glasses of water... I will bring lemon with me to flavor the water...

I will walk around the building on my breaks instead of sitting and reading a book...

I hope everyone has a GOOD day... off to get ready for work..

Random,

Yes I know sometimes I've gotten a post or PM and thought, wow that was rather heavy and sometimes it bothered Me but I always stopped to think ........ she wouldn't be doing it if she didn't care. I admit fully that sometimes it takes someone being harsh to help Me realize that I can't just float through life doing what I've always done because that is exactly what My problem is. Your just trying to be a good friend and I appreciate that alot, so thank you for looking out for Me, it's gonna help alot over the next little while :-)
