Hi, everyone!! I'm coming back! Just wanted to say Hi and say that I've been checking in, but horrible about staying in the Zone the last few months. I'm really looking forward to getting back into it (especially since I took my measurements this morning - YUCK!). :-)
Update since I last posted: I was laid off in Ireland in December and decided to move home. On the way back my boyfriend and I detoured through Europe for three weeks in February (where I sampled everything on every menu and don't regret a moment of it!) and are now staying with my parents to save some money and pay some bills. I've landed a great local job at home (so I have a set schedule again - a BIG help) and am loving being back in the sunshine.
My top enemies getting back are going to be weddings and summer bbqs (mainly the alcohol associated with them) and my boyfriend is heading back to NZ for 82 days (so I'm hoping I won't dive into a comfort eating frenzy).
Anyhow - just wanted to say Hi again and I figured by posting it would give me an official 're-start' to eating healthier again! |

Glad to see you back, Rachel!
So, where is "home" right now? Are you in Europe, or in the states?
Just wondering!
IMO, your best defense against those "enemies" is to stay connected with your support group (us here in the forum), and we can all brainstorm ways to deal with it. We've done it before, and we can do it again! |

Yep. Part of the reason I posted is because it gets me reading the forum more often and I remember and see all of the positive ways the Zone helps people.
I'm in Upstate NY right now. Home 'home', as I like to call it. ;-) Base for parents, family, friends, and all of my stuff being stored from my move!!
Now if I can just get my stuff from Ireland FINALLY delivered... At least it's in the States. I'm hoping squeezing into some of the summer clothes in those boxes will motivate me even more!! |

| I hear ya about the drinking at summer social events....I sometimes blow it, but other times I try to get a glass of wine, white lately, and just hang onto it all afternoon (or evening) without anyone noticing I haven't been refilling. Sure I take sip now and then.....and then nibble a bit cheese or a nut....this takes extreme discipline but is more fun than teetotaling. |

Hi Rachael! Good to hear from you!. I was in upstate NY on Sat! (not that far up, but upstate to the people who live in NYC. I live in CT (upstate CT, lol!)
Eatign your way through Europe, sounds like it was fun! I have friends who live in norther Italy (zoners in fact!). It's a great place to eat.
My tip, keep your eye on the prize (those clothes, if that does it for you!).
Keep in touch! |
