Hi Ladies, I don't know how to explain my story, I thought it was water retention, but I don't know...i'm starting to wonder. The scale read 186 this morning...yesterday I had training and of course there was food involved a continental breakfast buffet. I limited myself to fresh fruit and water and a mini muffin. So I think I was ok. It worries me so much when the scale moves in the wrong direction. I'm really busy, but wanted to pop in. If I have time I'll most my food later...but so far the day has not been good. I gave into my craving for peanuts today.

Hi Denise, I must have been posting at the same time as you! You can read my sad story there.... Here's my plan for today: B: protein shake with Isopure Zero Carb protein powder L: Unjury in lemonade D: 2 skinless chicken thighs with 2 T spaghetti sauce and low fat shredded cheese; small green salad with 1 T SF salad dressing Snacks: Carb Fix pretzels, Microwave pork rinds, another Unjury drink Totals: Calories: 676 Carbs: 17 Protein: 72 Exercise: 30 minute WATP video Wish me luck!! Hugs, Nancy

Hi everyone - I'm so afraid we're losing the passengers on this train, and I know I haven't been on in awhile. I have to admit, I'm struggling. I don't think I am able to do anything in moderation. It's either feast or famine. I find that I either am eating everything in sight or I'm starving myself. Once I start to eat, even if it's a piece of chicken or some tuna; I'm off and running - it's a terrible compulsion. I can't think about anything but eating more. It's like a switch turns on and I don't know how to turn it off. I guess perhaps it's time for some good old fashioned therapy. I had a couple of bad weeks of stress eating - I haven't weighed myself, and that's not good. I had a doctor's appointment early this week and weighed in there at the end of the day at 175. Sigh. I had been down to 162. I'm trying to do a bit better right now. I start my day off with a protein shake and try not to eat all day at work. I got back to my exercise last evening and did a 30 minute WATP video. I had some chicken, and on went the switch and I ended up eating 1/4 box of yogurt Cheerios and a bunch of peanuts. I also had a small slice of thin crust pizza. Before I went to bed I had some peanut butter pretzels. I am an addictive personality - I'm a recovering alcoholic/drug addict with 23 years of sobriety, and I quit smoking five years ago. I feel like food was a replacement addiction and I haven't fixed that yet. Well enough of my ramblings. I just want you all to know that I'm still here and still committed to changing my relationship with food....I'm just having a really hard time right now. I have lots of stress in my life and I'm working on changing my reaction to things and accepting the things I can't change. Hugs to you all, Nancy

Hi Ladies, Well when we decide go gain I think we must do it collectively...HAHAHAHAH I had a good day yesterday and was trying to rid myself of the extra 2 pounds I put on when I just jumped on the scales tonight (I know...dumb thing to do) and it said 163!!! That is 2 in the wrong direction. I hope to at least be down to 161 again by tomorrow but I will try and stay away from the scales as they drive me crazy. I will keep going....gotta see those 150's again by Mohter's Day as it is the only gift I want. Hugs to all. Karen.

You can do it! Denise
