"You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance. Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life. It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!” Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

I am sorry for the loss of your father. Welcome back.

I have the same problem with sugar foods. Like the cakes, cookies, and icecream. Even with the lap band its taken me 5 years after surgery to realize I just cant have them in my house. I have 10 more pounds to go and I believe these foods have always been my down fall. I too am a sugar addict.

This is hilarious. You really brightened my day.

Talk about irony! A toothache really!!! I have no idea how I got a toothache. Could it be the way I am sleeping? I know its not food? I wonder what happened? Anyway how is everyone day today? Today I did not wake up hungry I took my multivitamin and grab my 16 oz. bottle water and I was on my way to work. I even luck out and found a close parking spot to my job. I know what you are thinking I should park far and I normally do but it looked like it was about to rain and we all know that sugar melts! I grab my second bottle of water and went into my office and my coworkers congratulated me on my first day of week 4. I call it my treat is meat! LOL Anyway for breakfast I had 1 hardboiled eggs and the Buddig Chicken deli meat that was 150 calories and 15 grams of protein. I was actually full until 130pm I was really not hungry but I thought I needed to eat something so I had a tuna salad with 5 saltine crackers. That was 200 calories and 20 grams of protein. I had a hard time eating lunch because of my toothache so I took my time. It’s 8:05pm and I am not hungry. I put on orajel on the pain and its not working. Maybe the pain is keeping me full or maybe I am just not hungry. I am still trying to get familiar with my Band. This is the first relationship I had when I taking things slow! Anyway I am going to try to get a quick workout in. Thanks for reading.
