Wow moment!

Thanks Lisa! I am so glad you are back posting semi regularly, we missed you here. You have been a great support for me through the year. I hope we will be friends for many more! Wendy

Hi Wendy, you sexy little thing I'm with you on the dealing of issues and not eating the right stuff. I've been so stressed and feeling pressured to get to my weigh****chers goal, work issues having a new part-time employee, home issues with my mom (she has always been a high stessor for me), my upcoming trip to Hawaii and cruising (the first time in my life) and my upcoming plastic surgery on November 29th. I have also been working every Sunday and holiday since September, except for the Sunday I was in Atlanta and the Sunday I'm going to be in Hawaii. I don't have any time off and get up early every day. It's getting to me physically and psychologically. I have been eating too much and the wrong foods. So I decided not to focus so much on getting to my weigh****chers goal. I told my leader that I wanted to blend in with the group and not be the focus at my weigh****chers meeting. When I get to goal, everyone will know. If I don't do it before my plastic surgeries, I'll definitely get there afterwards with plenty of pounds to spare. I'm so afraid of what I did to my pouch by eating too much and the wrong foods. I'm going to concentrate on following pouch rules to the T and hopefully, I will succeed. Thank goodness the surgery will give me some restriction afterwards and that will help get me back to basics. My problem is that I want to eat the way I did pre-op and I know in my mind that I can't think like that. It's such a struggle right now. Boy, I sure can understand what others have said and shared about the post-honeymoon phase. Take care and I'm rooting for you! Hugs and Love, Lucy

Thanks Lucy! This is the hardest time I have had since surgery. I realize that being tall means that I don't need to be 150 lbs, but I did want to be at least at my normal bmi by now!! It has been very tough balancing all the things that I need to do to get there, and excersize... forget it! I am soooooo bad about that. I know it is the one thing that would get me losing again, and yet I have no motivation to do it!! I don't seem to crave what I ate before surgery, but I don't eat well. Still want carbs, but not the fast food. I seem to want to eat chocolate, which I NEVER wanted before surgery. I always wanted cheeseburgers and fries or chips. I really have been bad with the cuppacino lately. Our gas stations around here have a pumpkin spice cuppacino that is to DIE for and it is nothing but empty calories. I have been drinking about 2 of those a day!! Well I agree with you Lucy that we need to get back to basics, but as my ulcer heals so does my appetite!! I started out with my protein and water this after noon when I woke up from 3rd shift. Wish me luck with the rest of the day!! I wish I was going to Hawaii with you, what a great trip that will be!! Wendy

Hi Wendy. It would be great to have you on the cruise. We'd have a blast! I think our difficult times will pass soon. Yesterday was a better day for me. I wasn't a 100% perfect, but around 90%. Today, I'm shooting for the 100%. Hang in there! We Junebugs are tough. We'll weather this storm and get through it with success. I wish you luck today and always. Hugs, Lucy

Wendy that is awesome thanks so much for sharing it. Monica

Thanks Monica! Wendy

Very cool, Wendy!!! How fun is that? I'm sure you're looking like one sexy mama by now! Hang in there~ keep dealing with those eating issues! Don't give up!! I am absolutely positive that you will still make it into Onederland. Just keep bypassing those pumpkin cappaccino's!! Although, it does sound incredilby yummy! Hugs, Kerri

Yeah Kerri, they are delicious! I went and bought pumkin spice at the grocery store tonite. I had an idea to mix it into my decaf and with some spenda and a little cream it might be really good! And alot less calories, I imagine! I know I will make it into onederland eventually, even if I have to wait for the tt to get there! But it will come. Good thing is that even if I am still over 200, I am so tall, that noone believes that I weigh that much! I do look absolutely normal. I think alot of my extra weight is in the belly skin, I have ALOT of belly skin. It could even be as high as 15 lbs! Which would put me at goal, if that is the case. Wendy
