I hear ya on the yo-yo, teeter-totter thing. It's frustrating for sure, but at least we all understand how it works now.
Yep, I got lucky with the wine. I was sure that I would probably dump on it, but it was smooth sailing and I had more than one glass. Didn't even get tipsy really, so that surprised me too. That COULD be a bad thing though ;-) I need to find some diabetic wine so I don't enjoy it too much lol.
It was so wierd for me not having mounds of food heaped on my plate. I also had a bit of roast beef too, but I paced myself and did pretty well, all things considered. It was a good day :) I totally understand the fear of dumping on alcohol. I was afraid the 1st time I tried it too.
I started WL journey on Jan 14, 2009 starting weight @ 342
Surgery date was July 22, 2009 and started @ 310 and and my goal weight
is 150.00.

I had saved up over 1,500 to buy my TV surround sound system, and Blue Ray combo.. but that went out the window when i was told my Honda accord had to get 2 Motor mounts UGGGH!! Just thankful the dough was there to pay for it... But I luv to cycle.. I bought mine on sale reg 750.00 got my for 320.00 not too shabby.. I ride near the Santa Monica Pier every sat.. But anyways... my sweetie did buy me a Wii station, wii fit,and three games for Christmas.. sent it all the way across the states while he's training to leave for the middle east again... He's says I now have no excuse to get the exercise in.. LOL But I hope Santa helps me to lose these last 37lbs so I will be under 200lbs for Christmas
...Happy Holidays
I did real good Thank-giving too.. I took my walk first before eating this helped me on intake.. i had a few bites of dressing half a piece of breast of Cornish hen.. spoonful of greens..couple of bites of string bean casserole, and a small slice of sweet potato pie made with splenda.. I say i did well... even with cooking the entire meal.. Ijust enjoyed family and friends loving my meal.. and it was good even thought I cooked more healthy this year.. I actually lost 2 1/2 pounds since the day before Thanks-Giving!!
Who would have thought Luanne..
Losing weight this Thanks-Giving HUH?
Very different this year
Keep up the good work Luanne!!
I know i KNOW that I should be happy with where I am now because it is a drastic difference from where I started (272 lbs and size 26/28). I just needed to vent and am wondering if anyone else feels the same way sometimes? How do you get over it? How can I be happy with where I am if I am feeling so cruddy? Do our brains ever catch up with our bodies?
All in all it was agood first holiday and I look forward to Christmas! Learning to make better chioces is getting earier in some ways.
Way to go Luanne! I lost nothing but I didn't gain - so I'll be happy with that. Actually - it isn't my week to lose weight. Seems my pattern is - lose for 2 weeks - stall for 3 weeks. Hopefully next week my body will be ready to let go of some pounds.
You tried wine? Good to hear all was well with that. My BF bought Jagermister (sp?) and he poured me a shot -but I couldn't bring myself to drink it for fear I would dump on it. I ate very mimimal on Thanksgiving. It's really odd actually. I couldn't eat... I took a photo of my plate before and after and it looks as if I didn't even touch it. I did enjoy a few bites of stuffing with gravy, and a slice of the turkey breast that I picked at over 2 hours or so. I never realized how boring Thanksgiving is when you aren't eating all day while cooking. I didn't even have room for my favorite chocolate chip cookies freash from the oven. (THEY ARE MY ONLY VICE right now) I need to kick this habbit before I get myself into big trouble down the line.
I should have thought to buy some wine.. I do love a good bottle of Melot on occassion. In fact I will try some this weekend so I can get myself ready for the New Years Eve party!!

Now that's an idea.... a new Bike sounds great. I haven't owned a bike since I was 8 years old. That's a great gift!
I'm hoping Santa brings me a HOT SEXY 6'4 naked, bald head, MUTE man that will obey my every command and leave when I'm done with him. Damn - did I just say that out loud? LOL...
I asked for a Wii Fit for christmas - so I hope that I do get it or better yet - a new bike sounds even better!
Come on Santa.... I've been a good girl all year!

Keep up the awesome work girl. Don't forget you can still use your dumbells while watchin TV or hangin out with the kids. It seems even when I'm lounging on the couch - I'm still moving my legs or arms in some what of a "exercise" type motion - it's now a habbit that I'm proud I have now.
Damn I envy you.....you'll be at onederland soon enough!!
Keep rockin it girl...
