She said herself that giving to others makes her happy. So when she's doing that, she's happy. But when she's alone, maybe not.<BR/><BR/>@Joanie, Mary Ann, LisaB -- Oh I hear you and I concur!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547679169487196540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-58482435511710407852009-01-06T23:35:00.000-05:002009-01-06T23:35:00.000-05:00I know there are lots of reasons why we over-indul...I know there are lots of reasons why we over-indulge, but sometimes I don't care about the reason.

While it may be true that she's depressed, I don't believe that is THE reason for weight gain.<BR/>I truly believe the reason why I'm fat is that I really like food! Apple pie alamode is to die for; onion rings sometimes really hit the spot and the Hardees employees have my Big Chicken ready for me when I hit the door.<BR/>Exercise? Yeah, well, I work 40 hours a week (usually), and do all the stuff a home requires. When I get home at 6, eat something, cause I've tried to cut back all day, start a load of clothes, clean up the kitchen from breakfast, I like to catch the News at 7 (on whatever super smart station started that)and then I'm done for the day. Time to get ready to do it all again.<BR/>Amy, love your blogs! Don't always have time to read it.

LOL!<BR/><BR/>I can't believe you gained weight after so much hard work at that camp! You sure you didn't loose inches and gain muscle mass? Muscle does weigh more than fat and burns more calories than fat does. Yeah that's my Biggest Loser knowledge speaking... remember when Bob talked about that?Shannon @ Gabi's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489515190295297209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-55868723752245837552009-01-06T12:11:00.000-05:002009-01-06T12:11:00.000-05:00You are one of the most talented, awesome individu...You are one of the most talented, awesome individuals I know.

But it's so good to know that rich famous people have weight issues too. <BR/><BR/>I, too have thrown money at my fat, trying to get it gone. I have so many exercise DVDs, I could open a DVD rental store. I have a shelf of MediFast food (yuck!) I went to Weight Watchers and lost $100. I did Jenny Craig for 9 months, lost 25 lbs and $1800, then gained it all back +5 when I quit going. <BR/><BR/>I am an addict of comfort food and junk food. I hate to exercise but I feel great when I do. I joined a gym with my friend, but quit going when I got sick and haven't been back in 2 months. <BR/><BR/>I KNOW what I have to do to lose the weight, but I'm just too dang lazy to do it. There. I said it. <BR/><BR/>Maybe tomorrow....Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-29428214156877300612009-01-06T08:42:00.000-05:002009-01-06T08:42:00.000-05:00I'm glad she spoke to you because her message didn...I'm glad she spoke to you because her message didn't ring with me! I wish there had been more focus on other possibilities and not just Oprah's story. <BR/><BR/>A great book that helped me years and years ago was Dr Phil's weight loss book. The reason it was different was because it helped unlock that hidden layer of why we eat. That was the starting place. I've gotten to where I love me as I am. Inside and out. <BR/><BR/>It's hard for me to wrap my head around what Oprah said about not ever learning how to be happy because she is the preacher of happy and joy and fulfillment! So that was odd for me. But I do believe that everyone should live their life full of joy and inspiration and purpose.<BR/><BR/>Stick with it and keep sharing on your journey, Amy! So many of us are along side you!Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.com
