healthy AND gorgeous!

LADIES!

In case some of you didn't know, DH and I are leaving for vacation tomorrow and I won't be on to update or post "Fit and Happy" posts until I get back next week. I may pop in here and there but no real updates for a little while. Love you all!

Okay. Have a great vacation!

Thank you   I'm excited yet nervous. Going to Louisiana, so much good food!

Kassie, you look amazing doll.

Ladies I need some advice about overeating.

Food and I have a love/hate relationship. I can't seem to tell myself when to stop consuming so much food. I am more of a grazer, I just snack throughout the day with one big meal. This isn't good and I crave sweets and junk.   *kicks myself*
I drink herbal green tea and other varieties of herbal tea to help curb my appetite, but it only helps so much. I drink as much water as I can, but lately I have been slacking on that. I am mistaking my thirst for water as hunger and I better kick myself into gear about drinking 1 gallon a day.

I get hungry late at night and I hate that. My mind tells me to just go and eat, but I try to fight that urge to eat. I also haven't had the desire to exercise..it sucks. What can I do to make myself enjoy working out like I used to?

Sorry for being so long. TIA

After a few weeks of cutting portions, you will be much less hungry and will have trained yourself to eat less to be satisfied. It sucks but it takes a little while to get used to.

Okay thanks.

Quoting *Turtles*:" Okay thanks."

And don't worry. I will be right there with you. I just spent a whole week in Louisiana eating real cajun food. It was a full week of nothing but deep fried and cheat meals. I have a lot of work to do to get back on track.

Same here. How was your stay?

Pretty good, but I got the flu on day 2.  

I'm still sick. But we had a very good time
