 I am still taking the commit longes. I need to stop taking them. I take like 2 or 3 a day . I guess it is better then smoking a cigeratte but I need to stop these eventully. This is one of my new years goals for this year.

i am trying to cut back on my eating. My main problem is eating to much at night. I do make myself exersise from what I learned when i went to physical therapy. I am limited due to having Multiple Sclrosis. I get tired really easy and overheated. So I do the best that I can. i have been drinking diet tea before I eat. My main problem is snaking late at night I need healthier snacks.

Keep up the good work.
Katrena M. Jan 28, 2009, 9:39pm EST
gl you can do it and remember you are worth a healthy life
Netty B. Jan 28, 2009, 9:40pm EST
When you are aware of what you need to correct, I feel it is easier to actually do it.
Mary M. Jan 28, 2009, 9:45pm EST
Sounds like you are trying really hard. I find that if I drink a glass of ice water before snacking I end up eating less. Don't know if this works for anyone else.
Shawnee G. Jan 28, 2009, 9:48pm EST
Yay for you! I hope it gets easier and you stick with it.
Stacey *Mamasaid* D. Jan 28, 2009, 10:06pm EST
You're doing great staying away from the cigarettes. I agree with Mary, water does help minimize snacking. Adding ice makes the water taste better to me.

thats mine too,
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:04pm EST
Thank you Rae
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:04pm EST
That is very true Katrena
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:05pm EST
You are right about that Netty
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:05pm EST
I have found that out also Mary thanks for the tip.
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:06pm EST
I hope so to Shawnee
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:06pm EST
Thanks Stacy maybe i should drink water after dinner
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:07pm EST
You can do it Sandi as hard as they both are. best of luck to you.
Sandra L. Jan 28, 2009, 11:20pm EST
Good for you Shaunee! I think that ANY improvements you make are great. Keep up the good work.
Shaunee C. Jan 28, 2009, 11:32pm EST
Thank you Sandra I am trying
Ellie !. Jan 29, 2009, 12:46am EST
I've never had to quit smoking, but controling what I eat...YOUCH!
I find it helps me to brush my teeth because when I have a clean mouth, I'm crave food less. Does that make sense? My theory is that many of us who struggle with weight have a bite...and can taste it and want more. Then, there is my best friend. She has one bite and is satisfied.
After brushing my teeth, I drink seltzer water...love the bubbles.
Shaunee C. Jan 29, 2009, 1:26am EST
I will try that Ellie . I mean maybe havingmy teeth clened before I eat will make me crave less food. Thank you
Fran S. Jan 29, 2009, 9:27am EST
healthy snacks with negative calories would be a good evening snack (raw celery, raw carrots, etc....)
Courtney C. Jan 29, 2009, 1:59pm EST
Keep it up!
Sassy Cat Jan 29, 2009, 2:52pm EST
I hope you stay away from the cigarettes and good luck with the cutting down on snacks. I know how tough that can be
Nurse Nancy S. Jan 29, 2009, 5:38pm EST
Air popped popcorn...high in fiber, fills you up, low calorie (don't load it up with butter) and the carbohydrates will help you sleep!
Shaunee C. Jan 29, 2009, 7:29pm EST
Thank you Fran I like raw carrots
Shaunee C. Jan 29, 2009, 7:30pm EST
Yeah I am trying Sassy Cat so far I have done really good staying away 2 weeks now.
Shaunee C. Jan 29, 2009, 7:31pm EST
Yeah I like popcorn that is a good snack Thanks Nancy
Shaunee C. Jan 29, 2009, 7:31pm EST
Thank you Courtney

Amber C. Jan 30, 2009, 10:15am EST
Night time is when I struggle with the munchies. But you are doing well. It has to be so difficult to stop smoking! And you're doing VERY well. Don't be too hard on yourself, okay? : )

Shaunee C. Jan 30, 2009, 6:13pm EST

Shaunee C. Jan 30, 2009, 6:13pm EST
Thank you Aislinn
Carol V. Jan 31, 2009, 8:27pm EST
Good for you on quitting smoking!!!!

For healthy snacks - 94% fat free popcorn (kettle) mini bags are good. I also keep baby carrots in the house. We also make a lot of ff pudding.

Here to PIF (yes, I know I'm late, but I'm playing catch up tonight)
Shaunee C. Jan 31, 2009, 9:35pm EST
thanks for the tips Carol
debra g. Jan 31, 2009, 11:14pm EST
You are doing as great job.Drink water also.If you will chew your food 20 times it will help also.
Shaunee C. Jan 31, 2009, 11:39pm EST
Thanks debra. Yeah I do need to drink a lot more water then I do i know that is for sure.
Donald M. Feb 1, 2009, 9:14pm EST
Try crunching on carrot stick for snacks, since we usually want something crunchy. PIF
Shaunee C. Feb 1, 2009, 10:47pm EST
Thank you for this great tip Donald.
Kim Simpson Feb 2, 2009, 2:36pm EST
Sounds like folks have some great tips - I snack at night, but I'm trying to do it moderately and snack with fruit, vegetables, nuts, popcorn, etc.. Chocolate, also makes its way onto my PM snacking list, but I try to do just a little bit of the sweets - I don't like 'all or nothing' resolutions. I do much better by moderating my behavior, rather than totally removing things from my life. It sounds like you're really working on this - good for you, keep up the good work!
Shaunee C. Feb 2, 2009, 7:00pm EST
yeah I do eat fruitsa at night but I get that craving for chocolater
Sandra L. Feb 6, 2009, 11:22pm EST
I crave chocolate all the time.
Shaunee C. Feb 6, 2009, 11:38pm EST
so do I Sandra. I tried the low carb kind and I didn't like them.
Shannon W Feb 8, 2009, 1:09am EST
Wishing you the best with your goals
Shaunee C. Feb 8, 2009, 6:06pm EST
thank you Shannon
M & M. Feb 11, 2009, 5:39pm EST
((((((HUG)))))) Keep on trying
Shaunee C. Feb 11, 2009, 11:46pm EST
Thanks Margieanne
Sandra L. Feb 12, 2009, 12:10am EST
How's it going with the non-smoking Shaunee? Do you feel better since you quit?
Also, we haven't heard much about your MS lately. Does that mean that it's under control right now? I hope so. God bless you
Curt L. Feb 14, 2009, 2:55pm EST
Keep up the great work, Shaunee!
You can do it!
Shaunee C. Feb 14, 2009, 9:28pm EST
I pretty much quit Sandra. I have problems everyday I just don't say a lot about it Sandra.
Shaunee C. Feb 14, 2009, 9:29pm EST
Thank you very much Curt.
Denise E. Feb 25, 2009, 12:19pm EST

Thanks for your nice comments on my photos, posts, and videos.
Sandy M. Mar 10, 2009, 12:33am EDT
how are your resolutions going? it sounds like you have been doing good. quitting smoking and losing weight are hard things to do. especially the smoking.
Shaunee C. Mar 10, 2009, 1:42am EDT
I have Denise. I quit smoking and I have lost some weight
Shaunee C. Mar 10, 2009, 1:43am EDT
Sandy I quit smoking but every now and then when I get upset I want one and I have lost weight. I just went to my doctor last week and have lost weight I need to write a new article
