I am sure she was always tall and beautiful.<BR/>She admitted, after I brought out the Rickis cookies and she started eating them that she has been on OA for years. ( she lost over 100 lbs) She took a few bites and finally said " I am emotional eating", and put the cookie<BR/>down. Yes, it is not a sin to throw it out. How many times do we all do that? So one of our goals has to not only be, to think about what we are eating, but why we are eating.<BR/>Happy dietingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810930756182668268.post-36544620182353812982009-01-20T10:05:00.000-05:002009-01-20T10:05:00.000-05:00I just caught up on the blog from the last time I ...I just caught up on the blog from the last time I posted.

Michelle's challah was hard to give up, but I really did well on that front and on the noshing front as well. We did amazing on Sat night, not taking anything with us except salads. I love it that you found that link to the treadmill :)<BR/>I weighed myself this morning and I think I actually lost 1/2 lb!<BR/><BR/>I danced so much, I for sure burned off all that dessert from the wedding.<BR/><BR/>Z, Amen! I hope we have many more healthy Shabbas Kallahs in 2009 :) I hope to have pics uploaded tomorrow.SaraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053908720926177402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810930756182668268.post-5803067307426388612009-01-19T09:50:00.000-05:002009-01-19T09:50:00.000-05:00mazal tov on the wedding and on your fantastic job...mazal tov on the wedding and on your fantastic job this weekend - i knew you could do it! and i agree with what you said. in fact, i used to tell clients who always struggled with their weights that they're the lucky ones - b/c really everyone needs to choose foods wisely, and they're sort of forced to do it, while the "naturally skinny" people don't seem to have to make healthy choices to maintain their weights, so it's harder for them to do it - and in the long run, they lose out. that didn't always go over so well though...She-nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062813665487314154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810930756182668268.post-42949771731139184192009-01-18T22:18:00.000-05:002009-01-18T22:18:00.000-05:00Yay Sarah!

Does anyone have any?<BR/><BR/>Hopefully there will be many more Shabbos Kallahs in 2009. :)zehavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709531722602136258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810930756182668268.post-77639696444251106682009-01-18T22:13:00.000-05:002009-01-18T22:13:00.000-05:00YAY!

I certainly found it a thought provoking and very fitting commentary since for me, at least, my eating was always an attitude thing - sometimes control, sometimes just wanting to seem indifferent or almost 'above' having to care, if that makes any sense - but my pathology aside, the real issue here is exactly as you describe which is feeling empowered by eating healthy (I won;t say dieting) instead of feeling trapped by it or whatever.<BR/>I think you're totally right about the religious tie - how we have to overcome not just our inclinations but our resistance to overcoming our inclinations - meaning, our attitude. Wanting to be the 'boss of ourselves' only to then be serving ourselves. I think it's good to see eating healthy as a value, as something you do to treat yourself, so to speak - like, I care about me so of course I want to give me all the viatmins I can get in a day. Given my sporadic OCD-ness I sometimes make it a pacman game - from AM to PM how many different klinds of vitamins can I get in my body - but that gets old real fast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
