oh yes and oh no! BSlim has replaced food & tv
So the good news is that Buddy Slim has taken over most of my un-necessary eating time and my likely-to-binge times. I log on during my son’s naps and at night and those were HUGE overeating times of day. I’m also watching less TV at night and that helps me eat less as with me, TV = food. Although last night I did watch Biggest Loser - you all got me so excited! I wanted to eat while I watched it but that just seems wrong so I had tea. Bummer about Curtis and Mallory - they were rockstars.
Anyway, I am digressing…
So lots of good - tons of good - pounds of good!
Here’s the rub…I am staying up late to log in. I am ignoring my kid and husband at times to log in. This is what I was doing with TV and food before. It was this GIANT distraction. The big worry is that I am starting to stay up late again and I was trying to go to bed earlier, by 11. Sleep has been so missed over the last 3 years that choosing it has been so wonderful and such a big part of me changing and being really present to my life and my life here at home. I am worried that I won’t really make this life transformation. See, for me, I really am excited to be different - to be the person I always wanted to be. I just don’t want to sabotauge (how do you spell that) myself by missing out on zzzzs. I know I just need to log in less. Last night I turned off the computer at 10:30 and went to bed WITH my DH rather than let him go to sleep alone while I hang out with the computer (it used to be the TV).
Buddy Slim and all my buddies are so remarkable and this place is what is helping me become the me I’ve always wanted and yet, like everything, there must be balance, yes? I keep learning that in all these different ways…Let’s see how I do. I don’t want to miss out on anyone’s blogs, or the forums, or my own need to write. Here goes! My goal is to be in bed by 11 every night! If you see my lurking close to that (Squiggly, you’re always up with me 
) Holler at me to get the heck to bed!!!!! Love you all!!!!

Debbie , Gosh you sound like me in replacement of habits ! I was starting to do that for a week or two at night so I have had to just kind of stay away ! I also love BS and wouldn’t trade it for the world ! When you find the balance let me know ! kimmi
So glad to hear that BS has replaced TV eating…I know that syndrome all too well. It’s amazing how food finds its way into the hands as we sit mindlessly watching reruns or whatever!! I’ve often thought of trying to not watch tv at all and see how I felt…hmmmm.
Well, good luck on getting to bed by 11.
Ah yes I think the majority of people go through this. But SLEEP girl. You can get your fix and sleep too. I know you can. It is tough. So often when things get busy, I feel stressed just trying to get it all in. I know lately I have not been getting my Buddyslim in as much and I feel bad for missing out on some things (you know if someone is having a bad time). But now I feel with all the stress and business, I am feeling overwhelmed. So true…. BALANCE.
Always best to let our guys know that they are important in our lives this is for sure. Mine never complains and always is very self sufficient but still, important to not forget our loved ones. Wish there was more time in the day though *sigh* Ok… telling myself to grow up…lol
I’m addicted here what can I say! But I would rather do this than eat! But do make sure you get enough rest!
