You'll be there in no time!...Congratulations, Pat! You'll be there in no time! I only have a sister, and there was always plenty of food, but my Dad grew up with 6 siblings and your family's mentality, so he passed it on to us. Not so much the competitive eating as much as the "finish your plate" club. Every day it was a different country in which there were starving children. The poor Vietnamese kids were a popular one (my uncle was in Vietnam when we were little.) I'm trying to not do that to my own children. I tell them they must eat at least half of what's on their plate to get dessert. At least that way, they can walk away after one bite if they are truly not hungry.All those new behaviors of yours are fabulous...keep it up! Have I mentioned the Beck Diet book before? Filled with all those kind of new behaviors; well worth checking out.<BR/>Keep up the good work!!Terri Capobiancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095134545298759521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171543335298491490.post-3838450168750261402008-06-16T00:04:00.000-04:002008-06-16T00:04:00.000-04:00Pat,I was checking out your blog and saw the link ...Pat,<BR/><BR/>I was checking out your blog and saw the link for this blog. I am so proud of you! I have been eating less at every meal for about 1 1/2 years now. I have lost 50 lbs. and want to lose 25 more. I joined a weight lose group at my church called, The Light Weigh. You eat whatever you want but only when your hungry and only what will fit into a 12 ounce mug. Gosh, its amazing! I actually feel when I am hungry and full for the first time in years. Keep up the good work. You will be much happier when you eat what you really want just eat less of it! Its hard but worth it!<BR/><BR/>Debbie SeyerDebbie Seyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617685604052842282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171543335298491490.post-52254404194264615082008-06-15T16:20:00.000-04:002008-06-15T16:20:00.000-04:00Your an inspiration Pat!

I know its going to be a long road because I didn't put the weight on over night and it won't come off over night either. I am inspired by you and the fact that you shared this.

My older brothers called us Fatty Patty and Hippo Heidi. How sweet of them. Things like that just stick with you forever. I'm proud of your success. I am stuck at the same weight I was in January. I went to WW but only lost 4 lbs in 2 months time. I exercise (spinning) 3 times a week but the weight has taken permanent residence on my hips and thighs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171543335298491490.post-69060212749195755222008-06-11T09:35:00.000-04:002008-06-11T09:35:00.000-04:00I was called Kelley Belly!! lol!!Yeah, I laugh now...I was called Kelley Belly!! lol!!<BR/>Yeah, I laugh now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171543335298491490.post-72435974072893338312008-06-11T09:26:00.000-04:002008-06-11T09:26:00.000-04:00Oh man, I am so proud of you!!

I have 60lbs to lose, so it's going to be a long road, but when I see the good others are doing, I am inspired to do it myself! I used to be a very thin girl until I got ovarian cancer. After steroids and medications and early menopause, my body completely changed and was 50lbs overweight. Now it's a long long long road because the weight takes FOREVER to get off, but hopefully i can do it like you did! Way to go, Pat!!!Soguesswhat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06582090098149974288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171543335298491490.post-73811657840531383762008-06-11T09:08:00.000-04:002008-06-11T09:08:00.000-04:00What a wonderful idea to start this blog..I also s...What a wonderful idea to start this blog..I also struggle with weight.

I have a long way to go, but I'm really going to do it this time. I've always said there was a thin girl trapped inside this body trying to get out. It's time to let her out!<BR/>I've been walking on my treadmill and have gotten up to 2 miles. I watch TV while doing it, so it gets my mind off what I'm doing. I usually get 2 miles in about 45 minutes. I'm going for 3 next. I don't know what motivates me to keep going, but the thought of letting that girl out. =)<BR/>I have medical problems out the ying yang, so I want to improve my health for sure. Thanks for encouragement, and I'm going to keep reading and hopefully rejoicing with you! Congrats on your weight loss, you look fabulous!gretchenhshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794416750749922409noreply@blogger.com
