Hey July 2004 Babies!!
Where is everyone? This is the time we all need support. I don't know about the rest of you...but I'm struggling more now than I have since surgery. Gained 25# and am having a problem getting it off! So frustrating! If anyone's out there lurking...please join in and let's support each other. Nancy -- Lisa -- WHERE ARE YOU? How are you doing?

Things went well with my son's child support and visitation court case and we actually had my beautiful grandson last weekend. He is a precious 9 month old and just as good natured and sweet as can be. I'm in love....
I hope to be back here every day checking in - I really need this board for support!!
I'm still hanging around -- just haven't been on the website for a while. You may recall that I lost 5 lbs. during the 5DPT...gained back 2 over the following weekend...and then proceeded to gain all 5 lbs. back! It's so frustrating! I tried going back on the 5DPT, but wasn't very successful the second time around!
I did a 5K walk/run yesterday, so I burned a few calories...but not enough! I'm thinking of going back to Jazzercise. Although it really kicks my butt (and I HATE to sweat), it was probably the best workout I ever got. I think I need to get back to a regular exercise routine.
Hope Nancy's doing okay. Last post I saw from her said her son's court date was coming up soon. I sure hope it went in his favor!
Good luck with your dental surgery. I'm sure you'll feel much better once that distraction is gone!
Take care!

Hey Lisa - you're not alone. I'm really struggling too and eating to soothe myself. I had a grand time in Boston this weekend, ate a bit more than I'm used to, but walked a lot. I haven't weighed myself since I'm back and I've been doing a lot of eating and not the right things.
The court case for child support and visitation for my grandson is coming up on Monday and it's very stressful now that the other grandmother won't talk to me. I'm trying to prepare my son as much as possible - he has some learning disabilities and ADHD and sometimes doesn't think very quickly on his feet. Really all he wants to tell the judge is that he loves his son and wants to be in his life. Unfortunately, we don't know if the mother's family are coming with a lawyer or what. We did speak with a lawyer just to understand what the process is - I'm hoping we can settle it all at one time and not have to go back.
Anyway, I'll be glad when it's over and until then hopefully I won't do too much more damage. On Monday I am starting back on the 5DPT - until then I'm hoping not to be too terribly bad. I have my tap class tonight, so that's at least a good workout.
Lisa - I've also eaten even when I'm sick - what does that tell you? This isn't just a matter of will power - there's an obsession at work here that I think we will battle all of our lives.
Oh well, all we can do is keep plugging away and with the help of our friends here on the July 2004 board we'll make it!!
I stuck to plan today outside of doing the track. Im just to sore and tired. I didnt overeat though. My husband made tomato sauce with tomatoes, oregeno, and peppers fresh from the garden. I did have several bites of pasta and sauce. I also had a late night cheese and crackers from Keebler. That is 4 protein and 5 sugar. So, not the best choice, but not bad!!! It satisfied my craving. My tooth is coming out NEXT Thursday. So, until then its the antibiotic, orajel once an hour, and the pain med. I hope I dont run out of it. Here is my plan for today (well once I get up; right now its 2am!)
B: weight control oatmeal w/ fresh fruit (this morning I was running late so I had a protein bar and bannana instead of the oatmeal)
L: Salad bar from the grocery store
S: some pasta and h.m. sauce
not sure for snacks; no track because I am working late
HOPE EVERYONE IS HANGING IN!!!
Hugs, Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Sounds like you're having a rough time. So sorry to hear that -- I know how hard it is to stay on track when you're feeling good! Nothing worse than feeling crappy and trying to stay on course. Your health, of course, is what's most important, so get that tooth taken care of. There's always time to get back on track!
Your plan for tomorrow sounds good! Hope you can manage with a sore tooth!
I tried going back on the 5DPT this week, but I'm not having much success. I keep cheating! Oh well, I'll try again next week after we get back from our weekend up north.
Take care -- stay in touch!
