DD pointed at a hippo in a book recently and said "Mama". I tried for at least half an hour to discern the reason this picture evoked thoughts of me. It wasn't a mother hippo, no babies or other hippos insight, and it was a gross huge black and white photo, not a cute cartoon version with flowers around it or anything.
It was semi-funny at the time but I don't think I will ever forget that....
I'm happy to have gotten a lot of responses on this thread! This week has gone pretty well for me. According to the scale, I've lost 2 lbs, but who knows the validity of that.
However, I feel very proud of myself, I have made some huge changes and if I keep up with this for a couple more weeks, I feel like I will be escaping some of the habits and cravings (especially soda and late-night snacking). It has been easier than I thought it would be this week, and I think if we keep reporting back to this thread it could be a long-term change. Yay for us!
