Good morning all my dear friends. I have really been enjoying my vacation, I had to come home for a few days to drop my Aunt back off with my mom. I don't believe I have ever seen a more beautifull place. The river in the front yard and the sunrises are beautiful. I have lost 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. Fort Pierce is such a nice place I would not mind moving there myself. Hope everyone is doing well, These new boards sure are hard for me to navigate. I do like the spell check though.

Hugs to all,

Tracy

Lyn have a good night ao glad to see you here.

Linda my you are very chatty this morning. I have missed everyone so much, I am glad to have a chance to get on here before I head back down south. I will be back home Friday night late. We are almost done with the remodell we are doing on the beach house we are staying at. Paid vacation can't be beat.

Ladean,Sharon,Connie,Hope you are all doing well, I have really missed our chats. As soon as I get back home I will be on here full force again. Hugs, to everyone !

Hi hun , I hope you are doing well, I will catch up on back posts when I get home. Thanks for the welcome, I sure have missed my board buddies.

Hugs,Tracy

My smiley didn't work? do you have to copy image not html now? I am gonna try it.

Well I am back finally. That had to be the longest 3 weeks of my life. I don't think I want to take a working vacation ever again, no vacation...lots of work. I hope everyone is doing well, these new boards are very hard for me especially since I see lots of new names on the board. I have 1947 messages to catch up on, won't get to that today, Have to get the kids ready to start school on monday. Hope to catch up with everyone soon.

Hugs,Tracy

Well I have finally unpacked and got most of my stuff caught up from being gone for so long. I am sorry I have not been around much I had so much to do.Wanted to post and let everyone know that I did not gain at all While I was gone. I lost a few pounds and I am really proud of myself. The kids go back to school on Monday and I will get back into the swing of things. This week has been to crazy to even think let alone exercise or eat right. Most of the time we just grab something on the go. I know not good , but what are you to do when you have to be on the road 10 hours a day. Hope all is well, and can't wait to get caught up with what everyone is doing and have my normal comp time. Are we still having the book discussions? I am so far behind in the posts I think I may never get caught up.

Hugs, Tracy

Well I have to paint the living room wall and get the typical chores done. I hope to check back in later and see what is going on. Have a great day everybody!

Ladean and Sharon, I hope to get to chat with you both soon, I have missed everyone but I talk to you guys the most so it has been especially sad for me to not know what is going on with both of you. Ladean how did your trip to CA go? Hope your visit was fun! Talk to ya'll soon.

Hugs,tracy

I too am an emotional eater. I can trace it back as far as I have knowledge of. It started with my great grand mother and right on down the line. Food in our family has always been used as comfort for the rough times and rewards for the good times. Since starting the good Dr's program I am learning how to change my and my family's response to food. We don't allow food to be part of rewards or comfort. We use small monetary or material things as rewards and we use conversation or writting as a means to deal with the rough times. It has been a very slow process to chanbe the behaviors that have been embedded in our family for generations, But I am proud to say we are winning the battle. We have even taken cake out of the adult birtday celebrations and have replaced it with a favorite seasonal fruit parfait for the party.

I look forward to reading how other people are coping with their emotional eating issues.

Hugs, Tracy

Hi all I was not around much yesterday. I too am struggling with key 2. I had to have some quiet time for myself to work on me. I hope everyone is doing well. I finally get a few minutes that i am not running for the kids and school. So how is everyone? What has been going on since I have been out of touch?  

Hugs,Tracy 

Are you still here? I have not talked to you in so long I fear you have forgotten me.  

By the way way to go talking to your mom, I know that had to be very hard. I know any confrontation makes me nervous. 

Hugs, Tracy
