No new news regarding DSis and my soon to be born Godchild! He'll be my first Godchild and I am so excited about that! Yesterday was very stressful on me. As with any family there are always family dynamics that come into play, and that was adding to my stress yesterday. Each day I have allowed myself a smaller bag of chips as a treat. (remember I am not going to McDonalds and I have cut back on my chip intake--- I no longer eat the BIG bags!) ON monday I bought enough for 3 days worth. I ended up eating 2 bags yesterday instead of just 1. I had the inkling/urge to go and eat more, more, more, but I DID stop myself and had a conversation with myself and literally said "if you eat that, it won't solve anything, and it will just make you feel worse". so, I am proud of the fact that I stopped myself from sliding down that slippery slope. VERY proud of myself for that. And I also learned that I can't have extra bags of chips in the house. I have been getting them daily at the store, and I think that will be the plan from now on, just buy them for that day. I hope to one day not want them, but for now, I am allowing myself that treat and it stops there.
AND on a good note, I set the elliptical up for a 1/2 hour of exercise, and at 30 minutes I felt good and added another 10!!!! I think last weeks challenge of adding 10 more minutes has helped to increase my stamina! AND I guess it helped that I was watching Little House on the Prarie at the time and I had to see Rev. Alden get married!

Please keep us posted.
But seeing all of this last night, and thinking that if I wanted to REALLY do this, I would now have to pick Jillian because I would think Bob would be within my comfort zone, but Jillian would really push me and by choosing her I would be stepping out of my comfort zone. I am so tired of staying in my comfort zone because of my weight, it is time to step out of the comfort zone... so I choose JILLIAN!
), didn’t bring a lunch or a snack to work figuring that we would probably still end up going out. I didn’t want to ask her about lunch because I was leaving the ball in her court if she wanted to talk to me and I have not heard anything. She ate lunch at her desk and I sat here wondering what I should do. I am afraid to eat anything for fear of not being able to stop eating. I am really just paralyzed. I know I really should try to find something to eat but I just can’t make myself. All I have had since 8:00 last night is two cans of Diet Pepsi. I haven’t even had any water at all today because I also can’t seem to make myself fill my water bottle and start drinking.
You just have to make it to the past point now. But you can do it!! 
I know you can. Look at what a positive step you took, posting instead of eating. 
Pull out your list of positives about yourself from our early thread. Look at the pics of your kids and remind yourself why you're here...to live a long and healthy life to be with them! Will one candy bar do you in? No **as long as you stop at one** 
Bob, he is soooo cute and caring, but I need Jillian. And as disneychrista said, Jillian KNOWS what it is like to be in our shoes. She struggles all the time, even though she is super fit. Listening to her radio show/podcast has shown me another side of her. I totally respect her and think she knows how to get it done. I loved what she did last night, making Julie or Isabeau (can't remember which) run at 12 mph to prove she could do it, don't doubt Jillian. She believes in her team and look, they have yet to lose a WI.
Bob seems more of the constant nagging type, I can deal with that.
