S-WW ice cream bar I am up to 40 oz of water--besides my decaf coffee...I was lax there for a while...and it took me a bit to get up there again..I notice it really helps keep that scale at bay. Have a wonderful week folks! Joanie

I with you Kathy! I usually don't have a problem with Mondays but today was so cold I just wanted to stay in bed! Well, I must confess that while I had a great weekend, it was not the best food wise. A friend of mine had 2 parties, for her anniversary and her birthday. There was oodles of food and boy did I eat. It wasn't so much that it was all bad food, it was just that I was eating it b/c it was there not because I was hungry. Of course, I could look at it that a year ago I would have parked myself at the buffet table and not moved until every scrap of food was gone. But, that is sort of a cop out after awhile I think. Of course my eating is better than it was. I physically couldn't eat that much if I had to! B - cottage cheese w/ nuts S - south beach bar L - jerk chicken - leftovers from party I'll probably be eating all week S - slim fast low carb protein shake D - more chicken So anyway, I refuse to step on a scale. I know that after two days of eating I have gained weight b/c I always do. And I know that if I see any number over 199 lb I will feel like a big horrible failure and I just don't need that. I am actually thinking of doing what people have been telling me more ages and that is just to give the scale away. Its really come to the point where my self esteem depends on the number that I see. Anyway, back to basics, eating correctly and Leslie Sansome dvd tonight.

Christine- I agree completely to what you have said about the scale. I feel like I have become a slave to it. I give credit to folks that only go on once a week or even once a month. I have still not been able to do that. I am over a year post op and have the last 20lbs. to go and it is tough!!!! Even though the scale really helps keep me in check, at the same time I am so ruled by it. I have to often remind myself how far I have come and not beat myself up if the scale moves up a pound or two. Anyway, I know I often do not post, but I am always reading what others have posted and want you all to know that this board is very inspiring.... I hope everyone has a good week. Cristina

Hi Cristina Welcome to Ct Message board!!! You made me smile when I read your post about scale! I dont weight myself except once a monthly to see how much I weight but I keep exercise everyday except Sundays to keep my mind feel peace of mind. I do have fear in my mind is regain back weights.. I always tell people to mail me their scales or I will take it with me Hope to meet you this Saturday? Are you coming? Kathy K Christina... SMART MOVE to not go on scale so you wont beat yourself up after you weighted on it. Cannot wait to see you and BF this SAturday Hugs Kathy K

Hi everyone Like Joanie, I am alive and most days well. I miss my OH friends. I can't wait to see everyone at the gala on Sat. night. It's so nice to have something to look forward to. It is freezing out this morning and I like the rest of you would just like to climb under the covers with a good book. B- Low sugar oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder S- 1.5 oz Detour Bar L- South Beach Lunch Wraps S- Power Crunch Bar D- 2-3 oz. of beef oven roast, veggie S- If I have one, SF pudding I've been good with water, getting in about 80 oz. a day. Am trying to get better with exercise. Have been doing my exercise bike and crunches. I'm hoping to get back to the Y soon to start swimming. I miss that, but as I can't drive right now I'm a slave to my husband's schedule. Hope you all have a great day, Maggie

Happy Crappy Monday! B - Decaf coffee w/ splenda L - Tuna salad w/ diced onions & tomatoes in it S - SF/FF pudding D - Smart One Meal (???) S - Healthy Choice Ice Cream Will go to the gym on my lunch break today. I started doing a bit of working out at home too. Nothing with machines, just a bit of low impact cardio and muscle toning stuff. Have a fabulous day. I am so happy to hear you are all getting together. I wish I could come. Its a bit far and I am not a highway driver. I cant wait to hear all about it and hope we do something closer in the future so I can meet all of you. Talk to you all soon! Bree

I don't drive at all but I am getting a ride from someone. I don't know how up you are to coming but maybe if you post something, you could hitch a ride with someone in your area. Just a thought. No pressure. Wouldn't want anyone to miss the fun!
