I was doing well last night until son's girlfriend brought me a gluten-free pumpkin pie (a whole pie to myself)...warm still, mmmmm...sweetheart but hey, I have my WI this morning AND I want the weight off. So I will share! And get some extra walking in. Enjoy the sun & warmth there. I'm missing it here - even just sun makes me happy!<br />DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-801190263832907182010-12-23T18:45:39.697-05:002010-12-23T18:45:39.697-05:00Yes, I am coping.

Thank you my friend!<br /><br />I wish you could see me when I read your posts...I'm either laughing my head off or shaking my head "yes" because we really do have so much in common. I also can't resist turtles. Oh my, chocolate AND nuts. Not good. And as for Publix, I love it and used to work there...my first job as a teenager, oh so many years ago. <br /><br />Now, for your question. I'll be in Tallahassee and Tampa. I'm not sure where that is in relation to Venice, but one things for certain. We'll both be enjoying the Florida Sunshine!!!<br /><br />Have a blessed holiday and keep a day open for me in the New Year...I can't wait to do our hike!!!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695109793957198216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-10725930537324676862010-12-22T10:03:37.545-05:002010-12-22T10:03:37.545-05:00Okay, now I am officially envious. lol But, the...Okay, now I am officially envious. lol But, the photo DOES bring a little warmth this way, so I'm content with that! <br /><br />We've stopped at Adcock's, I know it well. I do NOT go there while I'm on this diet - just too tempting - despite the clean restrooms! LOL <br /><br />It doesn't sound like your husband understands the seriousness of your conviction and need for support. You've never indicated he is a cruel man, so I am guessing he just doesn't (yet) get what you are trying so hard to relate to him. Perhaps another one-on-one is necessary, Sharon.<br /><br />You've supported him and his mom, through a tough, tough summer/fall. You continue to do so. You all suffered a big loss this year. It is unkind of them to not support you in turn, over something so simple. <br /><br />The temptation suggestions are excellent, and right on target (of course)!!<br /><br />I hope your resolve isn't further tested, Sharon. Enjoy the holiday, swim and have a nice time for the rest of us stuck up here in cold country!! <br /><br />Mostly, have a blessed and merry Christmas, celebrating Christ's birth with those you love!!<br /><br />I see dolphins in the pool ... but NO TURTLES.Ann (-50 lbs in -60 lb challenge)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17156265221593608891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-1901653529864090802010-12-22T07:54:05.399-05:002010-12-22T07:54:05.399-05:00So I struggle with the husband dilemma myself. Bo...So I struggle with the husband dilemma myself. Both the "what can I say about him since he reads my blog" and the "balancing what he wants to eat with my flailing willpower." I really wish my husband did not bring any crap into the house. Period. He doesn't need it anymore than I do. But I know that is not fair of me. He is pretty good at making an attempt to sometimes hide stuff. I hope that when our son leaves next year I can get my husband on board to make our house a "crap-free" zone! <br /><br />Enjoy Florida:)Karenhttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-72703356271332683162010-12-21T22:19:40.348-05:002010-12-21T22:19:40.348-05:00Was your post written especially for me, because i...Was your post written especially for me, because it was as though you were certainly talking to me, Sharon :) I've been having one heck of a time and am on a rocky road right now.

The Devil is a very powerful being, and he does try his best to get us down on ourselves! It sounds like you're having a nice time, especially with the stores and the weather. It's been freezing here in Nebraska, and they're predicting a bad storm on Thursday, just in time for Christmas traveling!Lori Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07846832947071326334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-60459253561298334092010-12-21T19:31:54.713-05:002010-12-21T19:31:54.713-05:00Enjoy the sun and fresh fruit & veggies.

I appreciate that you can share your heart without pushing your beliefs on others. I loved how you commented that everyone has a "devil" in their lives to deal with.<br /><br />Your comment on my post this week REALLY helped me to get my resolve back. God used you and I thank you.<br /><br />Husbands...grr! It's a tough one, consideration vs. him not having to held to our eating ideals. Overall, it seems like he does indeed support you and maybe the healthy vent will put things into perspective for you. <br /><br />Enjoy the sun!divadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185277600611550619noreply@blogger.com
