ACK- how DEPRESSING! SNAP OUT OF IT!

Okay - I logged on this morning - hoping to see some happy faces in the post lines here. Bring on the sunshine & rainbows, damnit!! Where's the happiness? How are all of you doing? WHO'S losing lately? What are you doing with your food/exercise? Share! Beth 'How puzzling all these changes are,' said Alice. 'I'm never sure what I am going to be from one minute to another. However, I've got back to my right size: the next thing is to get into that beautiful garden.' HW- 313 SW- 298 CW- 140 (not weighing - I've gained) GW- 130 http://meltingmama.blogspot.com/ New today...

TODAY WILL BE A GOOD DAY!!! B - protein shake S - soy chips L - ? S - ? D - chicken on the grill! I am working on my crystal lite. Walked the dog this morning. Planning more walks tonight. My "friend" showed up for a visit this morning and I still weighed in at 190. So, either I am magically not gaining this month, or I've lost and will see it soon!!!!

Lunch was not so healthy. 1/2 a Frescatta Ham sandwhich & 1/2 the fries from Wendy's. I'm suffering with PMS, so I gave in to some of the fries. S - will be nothing...too full from lunch. about done with the crystal lite for today, 64 oz!

I know I thought the same thing!!! I have been in the dumps lately too so it must be the 1 yr blues! Who would have thunk! Well I got my "friend" also this week. Not due for 2 more so I don't know what is going on. could be something to do with my quitting the nuvaring. Didn't like it because of breakthrough bleeding but would rather that than every 2 weeks! Geez! Guess if my "friend" didn't show up I would be even more worried!!! Yikes! Twins is enough for this chick! Okay so let's get it together and look at all the good things that have happened in the last year. We have to get over the evil scale!!! We have all come so far! I do have a happy note! Today is my 11th wedding anniversary (10 was anti-climatic since I was drinking broth for dinner and had a jp drain in) and my husband left me a nice care this morning plus sent me a beautiful flower arrangement at work. I don't think he has ever done that! I think I am still in shock! Dawn

Hi! I'm not losing...but I'm not worried about it. I feel great!!! Had an awesome run last night. Ran 4 miles on the treadmill. I was next to this guy that also running...I kicked his butt! Not that I was competing or anything Eating good stuff...but still doing lots of grazing. Here's to sunshine, Rachel

I'm still loosing, but I don't know how, because I've been doing terrible half the time. I have been trying to get in more protien. I'm down to 162. I'm feeling like a big skin flap. My face looks old and wrinkled. Someone at my new work asked me if I lost weight and I said, Yes can you notice my wrinkles. I need some confidence. I'm sure the skinny wrinkles look better then 340 pounds of fat. Dianne 340/162/150

Dianne, I know what you mean about the confidence thing. If someone notices my weight loss, I blush...if they say I'm getting skinny I blush and go na-ah! Soooo, I've been trying to just say thank you. Even if I don't believe it or am blushing. I say, yes I am losing weight, thank you for noticing. I'm surprised at how this exercise has helped my with my self acceptance. Good luck you to friend! Rachel

I am sucking wind....badly! I have been grazing, but am maintaining at 157. Hubby is following my pre-op diet that I was on in an effort to lose some tonnage, and has lost 6 lbs in 2 days...BAS!!RD!!!! He tripped over my favorite scale..the one that weighed the same as the MDs, and the other one weighs heavy, but I am unsure HOW heavy, so I freak everytime I weigh...sigh... Breakfast Coffee Lunch Tilapia..should I be able to eat 4 oz? I do... that scares me.... snack 1 bottle (20 oz) of isopure zerocarb apple melon pre-made dinner something "Mexicanish", prolly taco salads... Janice
