Tina R.!!! Are you out there today?? Sugar update??

The weekend is coming!!! OH NO..hehe....I got your e-mail but I have been crazy busy all this week. I was hoping you might see me out here. I can't access my aol account from work, and I was thinking about you so I thought I'd throw out a Hello. How is the sugar devil treating you?? I've had a roller coaster of a week....not one of my better ones. I'm going to behave this weekend!!! That is my official promise...I will not flirt with the sugar devil!!! I had a (very large) piece of cake in the fridge from a party earlier this week that I was going to whittle away at this weekend....I tossed it out! ****ning side down of course into the coffee grounds, just to be certain it stays there. ---- oh yeah, I've definitely retrieved stuff before). Maybe this is one way we can work on our little problems, is to post our sugar sins to all of Delaware. I hope you're well...I didn't see any recent posts from you. Hope everyone is doing well...posties and pre-ops. Kim Open RNY 7/17/01 282/150ish/135ish

Hey kim! Just wanted to say Hi! Hey what happened to your other pic? I really have to update mine. I know what you mean about the sugar devil! Those darn cookies were really causing me trouble! Darn carbs! I went out last night and stocked up on protein drinks and protein bars ( I hate protein bars ) BUT its better than those darn cookies! heh. Im struggling here at 8 months I'm down 103 pounds! yippeee! but MAN its getting hard! I work out every day and try hard to watch what I eat. Easy way out my a$$! heck its still hard! I havent been to a meeting in awhile and really need to get to one. last one I swore I was going to but ended up looking at a house! I was sooo sure I was going! Ah well such as life. Well just wanted to let you know your definitely not alone with the sugar temptations! We can pull through it though gotta get back to the basics. Im going to try that stillman diet I have been hearing alot about. its basically very strict and puts your body into ketosis... sorta kick starts the weight loss again. Im gonna try that because my loss has really stalled this month. Well hope to catch you at a future meeting! It would be nice to see you again Best Wishes!!! Elizabeth M

{{{{{{Beth}}}}}}} 103 lbs?? Wow, that is great! I've heard of Stillman, but don't know anything about it....I'll have to check it out. House hunting? I loved house hunting...I joke with my husband that we should go to open houses (just because I'm nosey, not because I am looking to move.) Anyway, I have no idea why this particular pic keeps popping up...I don't know where it's being stored....not on my page. I get a kick out of that pic though...that was what I *really* looked like (the before pic on my web page is unusually horrifying). I look forward to seeing you at the support group...it would be nice to see you again too. Have a great weekend!

Hi Elizabeth, Hang in there darlin, it's a daily struggle for me that's for sure. I think that once I get it through my head that that is the way it's going to be,it may not be so much of a depressing fight. I'm learning that I cannot have ANY sugar, just like an alcoholic. I do feel abit better after a week of not having any. I just put 2 splenda's in a cup of coffee and it was too sweet, 2 weeks ago I was using 3 and I couldn't taste it. hmm So dear, you are not alone, email me or holler if there is anything that I can do. That's great that you are keeping up with the exercise, it will fall back into place for you. take care, T

Hey Kim, I normally check in through out the day, but couldn't yesterday. Sorry I wasn't here to support your anxiety over the upcoming w/end. Good for you with the cake, that sounds like something that I would have to do. I've gotten a muffin at work before (many timesLOL) and eaten the crusty top then dumped the rest, or a a few pretzels or chips and threw away the whole bag.. yeah, my last name is R=Rockefeller. lol Hope your w/end is a good one, stay strong, WE CAN do this. We just need each other, everyone here... maybe someday soon we can be the ones to pull someone else through a rough time. I'm a week without sugar and I think I've lost the weight that I gained and then some. But I'm not gonna post it yet, cause I'm a doubting thomas.. and will see if it's that way in a few days then I'll let y'all know. The week that I had gotten on the scale and had seen an 8 # gain, it was period time, so maybe that added to it. take care Kim, here's to a good weekend.. ( toasting with a protein shake! LOL) T

Well welll Ms. Rockefeller, I hope you know since the cat's out of the bag as to your REAL identity, that when we hook up for lunch YOU are picking up the tab Heck, I might even order my own separate entree AND the soup

Kim ! Hahhahaha thats so funny that you mentioned going to open houses. I said that to my husband once before too...but I only wanted to go because I was nosey!!! haha... great minds think alike! heh. too funny! well we just looked at this one house and we're moving in well... slowly for the past week actually but we have sooo much to move in by wednesday! so its rush rush rush this week! I hope I get to see ya too at the next meeting! I hope nothing comes up! Its been the norm lately that something screws up my plans for the meeting! sheesh! Tina - I am right there with you when it comes to not being able to eat sugar. I am just out of control! I havent started that stillman diet which will kill all my sugar and carbs and fats actually. If I have even a little tiny bit of sugar I'm screwed and my appetite is out of control! Its a stuggle but we will get there!!! (((huggs))) for us!
