The weight game....

So lately I have to admit that I have been doing SOME better. I am not exercising like I should. Although to me that can tend to be a dirty word. I have asked hubby for an elliptical. We shall see. I love those things. Not to mention the doc said it was the best thing for this bad hip and knee I have. So I have been doing things like big salads for lunch with fat free dressing. Whole wheat muffins with a scrambled egg white. Lots of water and milk. I have really really cut back on my sweet tea. I do still get it when we go out but hey...
My biggest hurdle seems to be the nighttime snacking. I can go all day long and only eat when I am hungry. I hear the suggestions of read a book, do something constructive. The problem with that is I can eat while I read. So do you see my dilemma?? Do you have any suggestions? I am bound and determined to not be the fat friend in the group. I have become that in some circles even if those ladies don't think so. Thank you for your support and prayers. Talking about it here on my blog has helped me a great deal. I fee accountable to someone. I really don't have the extra money to go to WW meetings or do the Weigh Station. So again thanks....
