Topic: I have a question ????
Good morning to everyone!
I have a question about what do you eat and snack on doing the day and night before bed. I know some of you may try to flame me but oh well. I myself most times start the day with 2 scramble eggs with melted cheese, and 2 slices of bacon. Some times I may eat a small bowl of cereal with regualar vit-D milk. At lunch times doing the week I eat lean cuisine meals and have a fruit most times a banana it really fills me up. After I get home in the evening this is were a I mess up. Because when I prepare dinner for my son its hard not it nibble are taste his food. I'll eat a salad with mandrian oranges and canned chicken breast, with frenches do it rite salad dressing. But before bed I get hungry again and I know this is not good but I'll eat maybe a hand full of chips and drink some crystal light and go to bed. So I would like to hear what some of you eat doing the day and night. Please reply.
Thanks and have a great day

Hey Toni,
The weight gain is a great wake up call. I gained 3 lbs in basically 2 days 2 weeks ago and that was my wake up call. I went out and bought a high protein meal drink to eat for breakfast to help me jumpstart my own little 'back on track' jumpstart. I managed to lose 7 lbs in one week, bringing me to goal last Monday! Now, a 3 lb weight gain in 2 days followed by a 7 lb loss in about 5 days told me that it was probably water weight/loss. I don't care, as it gave me the wake up call I needed. Like you said, start again at the basics, stop beating yourself up, and know we'll help all we can.

I'm weighing in as lazy. Did not exercise Friday. But did plenty of NOTHING. I was in one of those moods.
Will do better.

Topic: Why did I test myself??
Oh, why did I test the junk food waters? Like the true addict that I am, I have discovered a way to eat junk without dumping and I am beating myself up royally over it. I went all this time without testing the waters, and this past week I took that ONE cookie, and then another and then another until I had eaten 10 in just a day and a half. Of course the old me would've polished the entire bag off in that day, but I am terrified that I'm going to fall into a downward spiral. I am regretting my choice to try that cookie because now I am obsessing over junk food. It was so much better when I was afraid to put dumping to the test. Now I am literally grazing all day...on the wrong food! I feel like such an addict...it's horrible! I wish I could detox or something. This takes much more than willpower to fight this thing!
I've done exactly what Tammy has suggested (and my therapist) and started my food journal up again. I can definitely see the mistakes I've made...but I don't know how to get back on track. I mean I KNOW what I need to do, but this sugar demon has gotten a grip on me again. I've gained a few pounds from this last week of binging and I'm afraid that since the gaining has started that it will continue. I am absolutely terrified...I can't fail at this! I've had so many complications that to think I could possibly gain my weight back in addition to ruining my digestive tract is too much to bear!
Don't mind me...I'm just venting here. I know tomorrow will be a better day and I'll just start over. Five pounds gained in a few days is scary, though. And I know I'll probably gain a few more before the losing starts up again...I read a while ago that weight gain can take up to 3 days to show up after the overendulgence...?
I wanted so badly to get below 200 and I know I've lost ALOT, but....

Hey Lori! Sorry to hear about the guy. And atleast it's better that you know. Don't feel bad, I have terrible luck with guys, espcially here lately. Sometimes I feel like I'll always be the friend and never the girlfriend. But - It's all good - our luck will change one of these days! Congrats on your weight loss!

Hey Lori...
Yeah, she's been having her period since last October. I guess the Dr. said he does see this in teenage girls. Sometimes it's brought on by anxiety or nervousness. She's usually pretty easy going so I'm not sure if that's it. I do remember how she reacted when we told her that we were going to Disney... About 5 minutes after she found out, she had to lay down. I think she's hypersensative to adrenaline. We'll see.
Size 10's WOW..... great job... Good for you putting away your scale. You may want to weigh once a week, just to keep yourself on track. That was the advice at the OH conference.
Your kids sound like great athletes... good for them... You must be soo proud.
Cruise sounds so much fun.... Hey all of us girls can go....How much fun would that be........WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO

Hello everyone!! Hope all is well with everyone!! When I read everyones posts I feel so proud of you all, and all your great success. Even though Its hard for me to post at times, I do read alot and by that gives me the strengh to move it!! lol. I started to up my walking and lower the monster carbs!! And to remember the basic rules of the pouch by eating more protien and just eating more healthy. I weigh myself every day! Can;t help it! It keeps me on track! Im loosing slowly now I think. I want to loose at least 50 more lbs. The head hunger at times is terrible! And find myself having to fight it off with a stick! LOL My problem is eating at night . Those carbs hant me!! But Ive been doing a bit better though and have lost a few lbs this week. I have been walking 1 1/2 miles x 2 daily sometimes 2 every day.Even at times I feel a litle lazy, I tell myself to get my butt up and go!! After I feel so much better and healthy. I do read posts from everyone when I can get to a computer! This web site is so wonderful and helpful. Espesially the Aug. boards. Makes ya feel not alone in all this. Everyone keep up the GREAT Job you are doing ! Tammy I hope your daughter is ok as well. God bless each and every one of you!!! sheree:
