Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Hey Suz! Thanks for the encouragement...and the lemon creme cookies are on the do not eat list for a long time now...I had some in my grocery cart last week but when i got to the register I put them back..and as pitiful as it sounds..I was really sad about not being able to have them....but there was a non scale victory for me if there ever was one! Happy Belated 16 year anniversary to you! And I will see you next week. I think I am going to hav to read up on MM blog too so I can be encouraged and know that it is not just me going thru the things I am experiencing....this journey has really taken a sharp turn for me and I have to get back on the straight path.

Good girl on putting those cookies back! Unfortunately, another bag of dark chocolate followed me home last night :o(. Riding the cotton pony is for the birds...bring on menopause!!!!

Aw shucks, Steph. That is major stinky. I am sorry. Do you think that that huge loss you had a few weeks back after that liquid diet may have actually been dehydration and not real weightloss, so when you re-hydrated, it put some of it on? Just a thought. You'll get it done! I am certain of it. Hang in there, and avoid lemon flavored pastries!!!

Hey Bel: I think the liquid thing was part of the gain but not all of it...I have been making so terrible food choices lately and I don't feel that I have ANY restriction when eating junk foods.....so I eat and eat and eat until the cows come home....and I am avoiding the lemon cookies...and all other junk foods that I have been partaking in. If it is not the lemon cookies it is hard candies that are scattered throughout the building at work...and I will eat my daily caloires in hard candy and that is so not good. But I do it and I dont know why. I think at time s I am trying to make up for the year I did not eat those things and that is But I am taking it one day at a time starting now and I know it has to get better......

You and Suz's posts about how much you can indulge makes me glad that I dump. I was just thinking today that there is NOTHING that could possibly get me to eat anything other than a small portion of those oh-so-yummy carbs I used to worship. It is the ultimate behavior management tool for me. One cookie, a piece of a candy bar, a small piece of cake with no icing... that is far as my brain will let me go because I know anything else will make me wish I were dead! It is almost like shock therapy!!! Sounds like you are on the right track and know what you need to do. It will happen!

Hey guys! My weight is between 127-130. I am hoping and praying the gain is becuase of all of the swelling from the tummy tuck though. I mean come on, they took 4 lbs off and still I weigh more? I have a lot of swelling. Hope everyone has a good weigh in next week. We can do this!! My Mother is not doing to well and may pass (she's been in a nursing home for awhile) I won't be on much. Please say a prayer for her. Have a great week!

Please know that I am sending loving thoughts your way, Janie. It is horrible to lose a parent for any reason, and I hope that if she does pass soon that it is peaceful. Take care and know that we'll be thinking of you. As for your weight? Give it some time, silly! You just had major surgery...it's going to take some considerable time to go back to normal. I have heard that 6 months isn't an abnormal amount of time to pass before the swelling final subsides. Don't worry! You're still a skinny-minny .

Janie, I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers! Anna

Hey Janie: Sorry to hear about your mom and I send up a prayer for you and your family. ((Hugs))

Janie- I am so sorry about your mom. You will certainly be in my thoughts. I am still at my pre-PS surgery weight by the way. The took 8 pounds, so where is it? Hopefully we'll both see those missing pounds soon. Thake care and I hope your mom improves.
