(Bleh) Wednesday Weigh In

Last week I did weigh but since nobody started the post I never got around to it either.  It was actually a very good weight too...142.  This week, up again.  Things are getting worse at my job (isn't that the story pretty much everywhere these days?) and I've been stress eating, big no no.

HW: 268
SW: 230
LW: 142
CW: 145  + 3  argh!!!

Have to be nicer to myself and have to get this 3# gain off, it feels gross.

Hope you are doing better and can be a bit more inspirational than me.

I have just LOST it with my eating..I went from a crunchy salty person to a person who thinks of NOTHING but desserts..cakes, cookies, candy..I love'em ALL!!! I know alot of is STRESS . I need to STOP and I know it. I am now up 22 1/2 from my lowest..yes my pants are ALL tight or do not fit.
So..here is the scoop
HW 358
SW 338
Lowest 240
Today 262.6 (I am adding the .6 to show MYSELF I am almost at the next number)

My goal for NEXT Wed. is 258!!

Ok...we have a definite trend going on here.  SWEETS!  Maybe this year of post-op life should be called the Battle of the Sweet Tooth.  Or something along those lines... 

I'm impressed that you are adding the .6 to your number, I NEVER do that.  Guess it is plain old vanity but I don't forsee that changing anytime soon. 

This week is TOM and it always means a gain for me so I can't commit to a number goal for next week but I'd sure like no more gains!!!

Hang in there!

I have never added the .something to mine neither but I had to for me to realize I will be UP 25 pds soon. I NEVER thought I would gain almost 25 pds back..I know LAUGH..I have not put a sweet (other then a piece of hard candy) in my mouth for 2 days now. I was offered HOMEMADE Turtle Cheesecake today and said NO..It about killed me and I just wanted to take a tiny piece but I knew I could not..then I had a friend who I bought a Bday cake for as her husband was out of town and she has 3 kids..she calls and says I will bring some over as it is so good. NO, DO NOT BRING THE CAKE OVER..her relpy was your family can have it. My family would have never seen that cake..I said PLEASE, do not bring the cake over! I really want to be below 260 next week. I have to get back on track!!

We can do this!!!

Yay, yay, yay!!!!  Good for you to turn down that cake and stand your ground about it.  I guess I've been lucky by fussing so much the last two years about how I can't and choose not to eat real sugar for fear of getting sick or for just making me want it more.  Now I don't have people throwing sweets at me all the time, they are pretty much all really good about it.  Doesn't mean I don't want something sugary everybody else is having.  Where I go wrong is by having my substitute sweets too often.  I just need to toughen up and do without sometimes.  

That you have made it two days without anything sweet is really inspirational to me.  I am so adjusted to sweet stuff now that I can't imagine doing that.  The morning latte has sf syrup, the midmorning snack is always a homemade protein bar or a homemade muffin....something sweet.  And Iike I said to Melissa, there's always some version of 'dessert'.  

Maybe life will be a little easier once the straawberry season starts up good and then watermelon.  At least that way my sugars will be in the form of fruits.   

Molly...sitting here drinking some sf cocoa right now

HEY ALL

I  WEIGHED LAST WEEK TOO BUT DID NOT POST LOL

I AM SO GLAD TO KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WHEN IT COMES TO THE BAD EATING HABITS.  NOT THAT I WI**** ON ANYONE ELSE BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS BOAT AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH THAT I AM GOING TO START GAINING AND NOT STOP!!!!!  I AM SO STUCK ON PEANUT BUTTER M&M'S IT ISN'T FUNNY.  AND WORSE OF ALL IT IS A NIGHTIME SNACK WHEN I AM IN MY BED WATCHING TV. I HAVE ATE SO MUCH THAT I HAVE GOTTEN A STOMACHE OFF OF THEM. ALSO AFTER EVERY MEAL I WANT SOMETHING SWEET TO EAT.  IT SEEMS LIKE MY MEAL IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT SOME KIND OF DESERT.

PLEASE  PRAY FOR ME AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU TOO
BLESSINGS
MINI ME

Hey, no gain this week!  Ding, ding, ding!!!  You're a winner!!!!  

You are SO NOT ALONE in that boat!  I'm wondering about something amongst us December babies....do some of us have 'worse' habits now than we did when we were pre-ops?  I used to sneak eat real bad and have tried to get that under control.  Back then since I couldn't let anybody see me eat anything so-called 'bad' I never let myself sit around eat sweets after dinner or just as grazing.  Now that I've lost weight my sweets are all sugar free but they sure aren't calorie free and now they appear very steadily in my daily diet.  (you know that by the amount of sugar free recipes I've come up with over the last few years)   See what I mean?  Worse habit than before surgery.  

Now like you my meals just aren't complete without some kind of dessert and heck...most of my breakfasts are sweet enough to BE dessert.  

You bet I will pray for you and I sure appreciate your prayers too.

Hugs,
Molly
