Update and good books

[gorkdork]

I read passing for thin also. I agree with you that it helps to read others stories when you are losing weight. I would recommend: Half Assed by Jennette Fulda.

[Jibbie49]

I've belonged to SPARKPEOPLE for the past 10 months and it has been a great help to me. I found reading "SHRINK YOURSELF" by ROGER GOULD, M.D. to be of a the most help. He has interviews here on YouTube. It is on stopping emotional eating. Also, "I CAN MAKE YOU THIN" by Paul McKenna and his hypnosis CD.  He also is here on YouTube.

[Weightysubject]

I have the same micro and stove you do. Good vid.

[Angelasfat]

You look great Angie. Wow...you look awesome. Your skin is glowing you look so healthy.

[angie8088]

Thanks! Good to see you, I'll check out your latest videos. :0)

[Jinxie228]

You look great and its good to hear the updates. Love the book reviews, I've not heard of any of them. Very interesting!

[iloverichardlewis]

thank you for the book reviews. I will check them out.

[angie8088]

Great, I think I liked "Passing for Thin" the best. I hope you enjoy!

[allisonsfat]

i want 'Confessions of a Carb Queen'! if only because i love cover, lol. :D it's on my amazon list actually. haha

glad to hear you're doing well!

[angie8088]

I know...I don't even like doughnuts, I'm more of a cookie girl, but the cover is very pleasing for some reason...lol. It's a good book...it puts my binges into perspective.

[angie8088]

Thanks Mike! Definitely doable.

[FATMIME]

Good to hear from you!

[angie8088]

Thanks my friend!

[Melissa56967]

I think you should read as much as possible about weight loss. Its a great way to stay motivated. I love to read too (probably about 50 books just this year) and I really love to write. I pretty much record everything in my life. Its therapeutic, lol

[angie8088]

I totally agree. I can't believe I'd never read a weight loss memoir until now. It helps to read that other people have gone through similar things. I like to write quite a bit myself. Glad it's helping you too!

[Seedcovers]

Do you eat many raw food, you are glowing and your eyes look very clear?

[NewMe1975]

I noticed the glow as well. Very pretty

[angie8088]

Thanks!

[angie8088]

Thanks! Ever since I started eating healthier I greatly increased the amount of raw vegetables I eat. I would say darn near a pound a day. I also drink about a gallon of water each day. I used to have blothchy, acne prone skin. I found that what I put in my body helps way more than what I put on my skin. :0)

[angienicholas]

glad to see an update and that your doing well. Thanks for the mention means a lot. you look amazing by the way.

[angie8088]

Thanks Angie! I saw your last videos but didn't get to comment yet... I hope your feeling a bit less blue?

[jennifergettingbuff]

Hey dear! Glad to see a video. Thanks for the book suggestions. I can't believe you've been able to keep your sodium that low... That's great!

[angie8088]

Oh boy, the sodium is the toughest part for me. I'm always looking for good replacements. Lemon juice and different flavors of vinegar usually help with the vegetables.

[rushedartist]

good for you for working on sodium as well as cals. i've never heard of daily plate. what is it?

[angie8088]

Daily plate allows you to log and track your nutritional information. The cool thing is that they have the values for tons of food, brand names, and restaurant food. I was able to decide what to order from TGI Friday's before even going there. :0)

[amistydream]

hey Angie its awesome to here your doing good...sometimes its nice to take it slow take care

[angie8088]

Thanks, slow and steady will get me there faster than extreme dieting. I learned my lesson. :0)

[narcissisticfatchick]

i missed you! you look gorgeous

[angie8088]

Oh thanks sweetie! I'm feeling better, so I think I'm lookin a little better too...always nice to hear. :0)

[NOAHFROG]

The OA meetings I attended were also full of 40 and older folks. I didn't make any connections either.... Glad to see your face again.

[angie8088]

Yeah, there was some good info to be had...but I needed a more proactive atmosphere. The gym and videos were good for that. I'll have to look for your newest vids asap so I can get a frog fix!

[zurplemoon]

you look so much better. yay for you.  glad the legs feel better.

heart to you

[angie8088]

Thanks! A few people have said I look better. I really do feel healthier. I needed to just chill my butt out, eat healthy, and get some good fresh air. I loved my song by the way!

[KarlaKayM]

PS....I am on daily plate...love it and I am my same user name too....

[angie8088]

Oh, I will check that out. :0)

[KarlaKayM]

Good to see you girly! I am glad that you are taking it slowly....it's the best way to get back on track! Your skin looks really pretty! I hope you have a great week and take care!

:-)

[angie8088]

Awe thanks Karla. I'm glad to be getting the compliments on my skin. I looked kind of peeked (spelling?) in my last several videos. I think the extra calories and healthy food was just what I needed.Have a great week too!

[laurasarah2008]

Hey nice to see you back. you seemed in a better mental state in this video more happy within yourself. Maybe its all those books you are reading (doctors over here say reading is good for when you feel low) (not sure why) Have a great week xxxx

[angie8088]

Hi, I agree that the reading helps....especially the weight loss memoirs. Sometimes I used to feel pretty alone in how overweight I became, but I see through the books that I'm definitely not. :0)

[burndafat]

hey Angie!!! good to c u! your skin is looking fantastic! i hope everything is still going great in your new surroundings, take care, Barbs:)

[angie8088]

Thanks Barbs, I think I'm getting my healthy glow back, which is a good sign for sure. :0)

[mizzpurpose]

Good 2 C U back.

[angie8088]

Thanks! I can't stay away for too long. :0)

[alifelessboring]

good to see you angie! glad to hear that you are in a better place, health wise. slow is the way to go though I know how frustrating it can be when you are used to previous patterns. 

and yay for reading. it really is good for the soul (not to mention a good distraction) -- sending you lots of love and good energy!

[angie8088]

Love and good energy received and sent right back to you Adam! Slow is very frustrating. It's almost easier to eat very, very little because I can spend less time thinking about and being exposed to food. Still, I know I have to try and be healthy. Hope your doing well. :0)
