It's a bit frustrating to have to let some things go for no other reason that extra weight, but it's time. Now I can focus on losing those extra pounds and feeling comfortable in my own skin again.

You know, Gwyneth looks amazing, but I knew her from when she was a teen, and she was a tall beanpole then....and both of her parents are long and lean...not to say she doesn't reap the rewards of her discipline....BUT I'm just saying, we don't all have the long and lean gene!

A mini-vacation of 5 nights at the Hyatt House (full apartment style hotel!). We loved the palm trees, the sun, the pool, and our dear friends that we got to visit. Now I'm tired of course from the journey home in 2 days. We break it up with a stop at Hyatt Place on the way over and on the way back for covering the 1,000 km one way.<br />We had lots of rain here in Georgia, good for the garden!<br />Love to you and stay well. <br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-22103810348724495452012-06-10T11:44:37.002-04:002012-06-10T11:44:37.002-04:00Thank you for writing this blog...I was an executi...Thank you for writing this blog...I was an executive in financial services in Toronto and thought I was living the dream...the car, the house, the vacations,the clothes and the shoes. But then I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and my life changed...not just physically but emotionally as well and what I have struggled most with is emotionally having one foot in my old life and one foot in this new life and not being able to make peace with this life and the extra weight I put on because of my MS but your advice about getting rid of clothes that no longer fit nor represent the life I have now was a real breakthrough for me in being able to leave my old life behind and although I miss those beautiful clothes and shoes, they don't make sense in this life and they are just clothes...focusing on my health, my family and my friends are what is most important...thank you again...I look forward to continue reading your blog and getting more inspiration on how to lose my extra weight!!!!<br />JoannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-85845755998499997172012-06-09T18:53:52.265-04:002012-06-09T18:53:52.265-04:00You are amazing.... unique!!!

The more positive things we can read about the better options we all have to choose from , and in turn discover what works for us.<br /><br />You are absolutely correct .. processed foods so be avoided whenever possible.

I don't know if this is the place to offer general advice, but one of the most helpful choices we've made is to avoid processed foods. While it's strange--If I personally make the bread or pastries or cookies, I can eat a few without issue; but if I purchase such things from the store or a restaurant, it appears instantly on the thighs (or it seems like it).<br /><br />Being passionate about something is my greatest resource for maintaining a certain size. Photography, work, cooking (yes, even cooking) . . . these generate such energetic, happy feelings that the dispel negativity.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-87353614834826513752012-06-09T03:10:57.966-04:002012-06-09T03:10:57.966-04:00Very very true.

Wow, a positive about a negative.....Dearest Celia,<br /><br />Wow, a positive about a negative... I woke up with severe cramping in my feet. So I did check my laptop and found YOU... Well, your post of course but it is YOU shining through. That gives me some time to sit down, relax and read. This is a handful but there are so many elements in it that yes, we must look at all those elements.<br />When I was being paralyzed and loosing weight and weight and weight I remember a doctor friend who said the following. For good health the body and mind have to be in perfect harmony, have to be in balance. But this proves also that step 4 is the hardest part of it. <br />Let's all try hard and meditate on the positive. Thanks for sharing all this.<br />Love to you and yours,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
