Introduction Text 4/10/10 I've been away from SP for almost two years and I miss the cameraderie and motivation to get healthy! I'm back and it's time to pick up where I left off! I am 37 years old and really struggle to make time for healthy living: it should be a "no-brainer" for me since I am a physician but the crazy hectic pace of my job is the primary reason I am so out of shape and disinclined to move my butt most days!!! I have gained about 80 pounds over the past 6 years [5 years of surgery residency, one year (2005) of chemo and radiation for Hodgkin's Lymphoma and malignant melanoma, and 18 months in surgical practice (2 different states)] and I am starting to experience some of the painful physical effects of my excess weight. I want to feel healthy again and I want my patients to see me as a positive role model. Excess Weight, Be Gone!!

1. stay calm under fire 2. stop emotional eating 3. enjoy exercise

1) Keeping an ACCURATE food log -- those little bites here and there add up if I'm not thinking about them. No mindless nibbling. 2) No eating in the car, while standing, or in front of the TV. 3) No skipping meals. 4) Constant bottle of ice water by my side. 5) Healthy snacks available at work and home -- carrot sticks, mixed nuts, yogurt, chickpeas ... 6) Get moving -- figure out some form of exercise that I can enjoy and then stick to it REGULARLY! 7) Accountability!!!
