Comments on: Sweat and Chocolate http://seattlemomblogs.com/2008/03/sweat-and-chocolate/ A Community for Blogging Mothers in Greater Seattle and the East Side Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:16:18 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Erin http://seattlemomblogs.com/2008/03/sweat-and-chocolate/comment-page-1/#comment-2715 Erin Mon, 07 Apr 2008 19:51:16 +0000 http://www.seattlemomblogs.com/2008/03/27/sweat-and-chocolate/#comment-2715 I read this book 2 years ago and found myself on a car trip with my 53 year old mother reading aloud parts of it to her. My mom has always stuck to the 'eat in moderation' mantra and it's worked really well for her. In fact, I've never seen her go for seconds in my life...something I cannot adhere to. The author did mention how we should take advantage of walking up our office building's stairs as often as possible. Forget the elevator. Get a workout throughout the day.

I love the concept of "eating on purpose." That's an idea that will help me, I think. I’ve often thought to myself,

So either I am a GIANT wuss, or my kid is like totally a maniac. This is how I eat, but I so need to get down the part about "moving my fat ass" more. There isn't that much left to loose, but enough that every time I look at myself I run screaming from the building. And didn't you know that the shaggy dog leg look is so tre sheik this spring? LOL (we should start this trend, because I am just tired of shaving...) I only have ONE and you have just described my day!! So either I am a GIANT wuss, or my kid is like totally a maniac.

That's amazing. Forty pounds? I can't use too many exclamation points. That's awesome!! And Carrie, girl, have you seen the snow? These bad boys are staying shag-a-licious for a while. ;-) Susan, I had to proof-read it ten times to make sure I was saying SWEAT and not SWEET. And I never proof-read anything. lol Marsha, WAY TO GO!! That’s amazing. Forty pounds? I can’t use too many exclamation points. That’s awesome!!

Ha! It's obvious my mind is much more sweet-focused than sweat-focused. Clearly I need to work on that. ;) When I first read the title I thought it said “SWEET and chocolate”. Ha!

I have been doing WW since June and lost 40lbs, and this is the exact approach WW has and I have adopted for my life. I still eat my Starbucks cookie now and again and enjoy my wine. I am still enjoying life and eating, but just being smarter about it! I just might have to check out this book!
