Hello....I'm new to this board 
, but not to the DIS.
After having a wonderful time at WDW in May, I couldn't help thinking how much MORE wonderful it would have been if I wasn't hauling around about 80 extra pounds!
So I am planning another Disney trip for May 2006 (9 months away) and am determined to be down at least 60 pounds by then...I'd really love it if it were 80, but I want to realistic.
I've been lurking/reading on this board for about a week now and I think it just might be the inspiration I need!
One of my biggest problems is late night eating. I work 2nd shift and am a dyed in the wool night owl. I usually work 2pm-10pm or 3pm-11pm, so I don't get home from work usually til 10:30-11:30pm and I'm usually up until 2 or 3am. I know I shouldn't be eating that late, but well.......my brain and my stomach don't agree on that one!
I also am very bad about breakfast. I am usually up between 9:30am and 10:30am, but I typically don't eat anything until 3 or 4pm! I am just not hungry until then. I know that's bad and I try to force down at least a bananna or something, but forget alot of days.
The only thing I have going for me is that I LOVE water. I drink tons of it and I have no taste for pop at all. I drink water all day long (along with coffee in the morning) and occasionally Crystal Light, but mainly plain water)
With my schedule, it's so hard for me to get into a healthy 3 meal a day plan, I was just wondering if anyone here is a night owl/2nd shifter, that might have any tips or suggestions -- especially for my late night eating problem?
Also, any good tips about using this board and the journals? I've never seen a place for journals like here.
Sorry to ramble on, but I'm excited and determined and can't wait to get on my way to gettin' rid of this extra poundage!
