Topic: RE: I think we all our hitting a bad patch
Lisa,
As a full time working single mom, I can tell you......it sucks a lot of the time. I work day and night and come home exhausted. If I am not working, I am driving my daughter and her friends all over. Funny how it seems I am the only mon who can chauffeur everyone around. These moms, who all have spouses to back them up, are too Gdamn lazy to do anything. and.talk about a messy room........ I can't even walk into my daughter's room. I try to ignore it and for the most part, I do, I draw the line when I find all the missing plates and cutlery in there. I refuse to clean my daughter's bathroom, which is also shared by the guests. So, when she has friends over, she is forced to clean it herself. As far as her room...when she has friends over, she closes her door and doesn't let them see it. Which is fine by me because I'd much rahter have her and her friends out in the living room where I can see them.
We just gotta go with the flow, my dear. As you said, the new body moves better, so try to focus on that part. As for running away...i always want to run away from things. My stress levels are so high I can't believe I haven't stroked out yet. But, carry on we must. Once again, remember,we are all strong women. If we can go through life threatening surgery and survive it.we can (hopefully) survive our kids!
Good luck
Shar

OK, so Lisa how old are your children? Me and my husband worked full time when my boys were in 8th and 10th grade. I taught them how to do laundry and cook for themselves. I worked odd shifts as I was a ER nurse. They needed to be responsible to help us out when they could. And today they are self sufficient. We need to teach our children that we need their help. And they can do things for themselves. You want clean clothes, then wash them. It doesn't hurt them to help out around the house. Jan

Wow I think with the continue down turn in economy and stress if u have a job or not. The bill collectors calling u, Medical bills here are killing us and they got to wait in order they were billeD recieved and they will get paid in order recieived and man some get so cranky but we have method to bill system here,I am stress as I have to play the part as a house keeper and trsut me I am no house keeper or Bree vandecamp. now house keeper blanca was charging us up almost 520 to 600 a month to clean after my kids? I decided I can get my boobs instead and clean the house. But I am going threw room by room and cleaning it up and organizing it and hopefully develop a system. I just cannot keep up on laundry grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I am telling u boys and the jeans and the mess they make. I had the girls first and boys last and boys are pigs. I just want to eat cookies and forget this but I am refusing to succome to temptation, I am such a ***** and my kids are bucking as no more nice guy. THE PIG DAYS ARE OVER!!! IN ALL ACCOUNTS INCLUDING FOOD!!!! I am just venting becasue i want to eat poorly,
How does anyone keep sane with kids and the mess. Dee I feel for u. I sometimes want to run away. Anyone want to join me????? I keep saying once I get the house in shape maybe i can relax but it was relaxing and being lazy that got my house to look like a pig sty,I do enjoy my new body and it moves so much easier just the biggest problem moving funiture I cannot push my weight into it. like I use 2 I feel like a 166 lb weakling,Ok enough venting time to get back to work.

Topic: RE: Sunday Weigh In
Hi A team!
Didn't weigh in this week I just don't feel as quick to jump on it! Fighting with the husband I think we both admitted we are together for the kids and that is hard and sad to admit. I love my husband but I feel like when I gained all the weight he changed how he looked at me and treated me and now that I lost the weight I have this anger because of that. I do love him but I hate the fighting every single day it is slowly killing me and who I am. It is killing our kids and I hurt inside because of it.
I have this terrible resentment and I just can't seem to get pass that. I am so sick of feeling.
I will weigh in next sunday and see where I stand

Hiya A Team;
My weight is still up. I figured out that it all went to my boobs! Everything fits the same but the girls all of a sudden got less deflated. Hubby likes it. I must have some kind of weird hormonal thing going on.
My Grandbaby came up and played with me yesterday. The sun has finally been shining and so my mood has been rising. Vitamin D and happiness make for the best anti-depressant in the whole world.
I cannot be freaked out by weight being up-I know I am not out of control.
Stay strong-I agree with Inky- we are ALL successes. Have a great week!

PS All this sunshine blowing out my a$$ makes me a bit ill also.

Topic: RE: Would you do it again?
Hi Sharlene,
Do you have enough fiber in your diet? and have you tried Beano or something like Gas-X? I know that if I do not have my beloved 13 grams of fiber in the morning, an then at least 10 more grams throught out the day, I am terribly constipated and then horrendously gassy. This happens to me on weekends when a). I get off routine and b). it is the WORSE time to be gassy!
that's when I pull out the gas-x strips and make sure I up my fiber and by the next day I am back to normal (which is one time a day bowel movements, usually in the morning, and very little gas, even though I eat alot of beans for protein).
good luck and congrats on your teaching certificate - this country needs great teachers!

Topic: RE: Downwad Spiral - HELP HELP
I've been going through this too and after trying to just force myself not to eat - though to be honest, i do not get any hunger pains like before surgery, i eat from boredom - I realized when I think I am hungry, i am really really thirsty.
Have you tried upping your liquid intake? That helps me curb things too - and if I want something "filling" I try hot sodium free broth or hot tea. hot things seem to fill me up quicker than cold.

Hi everyone,
Weigh ins are so important because they serve as be accountiable to the weight u are at and even if u don't lose another pound at least u will not get so bad out of control u r back where u started.I have started back to the gym yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I been really pigging out and don't get it I lose weight? I have no idea what my body is doing. Will probally show up next week as a gain, I ate girl Scout cookies and hubby is gone to alaska and left me with a house full of teenager boys. Fired the housekeeper to save money. Now I know why in the animal kingdon they eat their young. And aunt flo arrived,.. I defy logic lol I AM SO TIRED OF EATING RIGHT I hope this is just a phase not my future eating habbits time to get back on track. This is stress and I think I GET IT.. I HAD TO SEE IT WRITTEN DOWN. I AM STRESSED TO MAX AND IT SHOWS

Good afternoon everyone! It is absolutely beautiful outside today! Great day for a walk! The temp is 81 and sunny!
I also have not lost hardly anything to speak of since month 9! Yes, I said 9. I am still wanting to loose another 20 lbs....it will come 1 pound at a time for me! I also have a saggy belly, well it is not saggy it is more like cheesy! No way i am going to have tummy tuck, I am way to chicken. Imagine, I can go and have my stomach cut wide open for RNY but not for TT. It aint happening! Besides, I was self pay with the RNY and I can handle a little giggle here and there as long as the weight stays off!
This week I am going to have the test done to tell me how many calories I need to consume to maintain my weight. I am hoping this will give me some indication on how many I can eat and still loose. Progress....not perfection! (yet)
Have a great week!
