I’m trying to remain positive, but I’m still having trouble not eating after dinner.
My newest track on this is going back to the orange dream bar I ate each night as my dessert – something I can look forward to every day. THEN, if I’m up in the middle of the night (as I was last night for an hour or so) I’m TRYING to content myself with a sugar-free chocolate pudding or veggies and dip. Last night my husband came downstairs, too, and we both felt potato chips calling to us…. :0(
To date I’m down 35 pounds and 20 inches.

On my efforts to move more, I’m doing much better, having found yoga for old broads. Sometimes I run out of time and energy and don’t practice my yoga every day, but most days I’m on the mat.
I’m using 2 programs: “Gentle Yoga” and “Gentle Yoga Flows,” both by Sixty & Me, with the same wonderful instructor. I’m concentrating now on the Flows, planning to do Practice 3 today. My goal is to do one session on a particular part of the body, such as “Hips,” and then one of the ‘flows’ each day, making an hour.
If I continue to do well, I’ll add strength training and my elliptical a couple of days a week.
I am the poster child for couch potatoes, doing lots of work on my computer or trying to create something in my art room, so this is a HUGE change for me. My problems haven’t gone completely away, but I’m feeling more in control of what’s happening in my body now.
