Makes me cringe when my #2 asks for food and I know it's because she's bored. <BR/><BR/>As far as eating stuff the kids were told not to, hey, tell 'em that when they're adults, they can eat as crappy as they want. No guilt! The ice cream diet CAN work!<BR/><BR/>I believe in moderation, though, too (well, for them, anyway). A life without chocolate chip cookies or ice cream sundaes would be just a wee bit bleak, as far as I'm concerned. <BR/><BR/>I'm lucky, though. My kids prefer to drink water. Probably because that's what I drink all the time. Wow, maybe they really do learn by example. Ya think #2'd be eating veggies by now, then...<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I started dropping weight without effort once we completely stopped eating out, especially fast food. Even though we know the numbers, I think we still don't realize just how that stuff stacks up. So the key to weight loss is no pizza. And lots of stimulants. <BR/><BR/>And ice cream. Preferrably Haagen-dazs chocolate peanut butter.butterstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06874225857648853030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10613195.post-1150438589401749902006-06-15T23:16:00.000-07:002006-06-15T23:16:00.000-07:00Thanks for the welcome and the complement Adriana....Thanks for the welcome and the complement Adriana.

The mental disease is quite overwhelming.<BR/><BR/>Oh Lori...exactly right. I so know that feeling...the kids are in bed, I'm watching something on the tube, and off I go to sneak something I've told the kids all day not to eat. "You've had enough ice cream! Go to bed!" But it's so good...there is a direct emotion response from every bite...followed up with the remorse and promise to exercise.<BR/><BR/>Shauna, welcome! Your blog is something to behold - I've bookmarked it. And yeah...I'm sure as the kids get older and are here at home less, then I can be more disciplined. On the other hand...:) Thank you so much for reading (and commenting!).Adriana Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120973373594320270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10613195.post-1150390417145456122006-06-15T09:53:00.000-07:002006-06-15T09:53:00.000-07:00I totally relate to you--When I was home with my y...I totally relate to you--When I was home with my young kids I ate for the same reasons. I had been scrawny my whole life until I was a stay-at-home mom and food was the most accessible, and cheapest entertainment. Now, two of my kids are almost grown, but I still have an 8 year old. Give yourself a break till then. You won't have any trouble taking off the extra pounds when you can get out more.Shuanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440342004047512700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10613195.post-1150347973732480662006-06-14T22:06:00.000-07:002006-06-14T22:06:00.000-07:00Oh, I feel your pain, bud...as I strive to eat mor...Oh, I feel your pain, bud...as I strive to eat more veggies and set a good example for my kid...and then snarf down a slice of cheesecake after she's gone to bed...as I keep telling myself to get up earlier and exercise and I never do it.

I've resolved to diet, resolved not to diet, resolved to think about it, resolved not to think about it... doesn't make the slightest difference what I resolve to do, not in the long run. I diet and eat badly and think about it anyway. It's a mental disease, much worse for me than any obesity might be, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing you're lovely and perfectly healthy at 145 lbs. But reality of course is a bit player in this game.<BR/><BR/>I wish you the best with it. Wish I had something wise to say.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.com
