Super Duper Sunday

Good Morning everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having a "do nothing" day today.  Last night Dave and I went out with another couple for Indian food.  It was....different.  I'm trying to broaden my horizons.

QOTD-I hope no one takes offense to this, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to:
What made you fat?

For me, it was being a picky eater.  I didn't eat a lot, because I only like a few things.  It just so happens that the things I like are bad for me.  For over 20 years I ate like a 10 year old kid-pop, chicken fingers, grilled cheese, pasta with tons of cheese, etc.  
So now I have to not eat what I like, but eat what my body needs.  I doubt I will ever LOVE all of the healthy foods, but I am getting there.

Hope you all have a good day!!

Hi Brenda
since you are fee to do what ever today. Would you like to come clean my house for me. lol

QOTD: I did and my polish mama too. Some things you just inherit but some you can change. And some (learned traits) are passed down from generation to gerneration. I like food and then I began to like a lot of what I liked. Part of this was also not taking the time to make the right choices. It is a lot easier to make fast choices then good ones. Like a loaded pizza for dinner rather than a Kroger rotisserie chicken and some salad. So convenience too.

Good Questions

Have a blessed day

Mary, I don't even clean my own house!!
Just push everything under the couch and spray Febreeze.  That's cleaning to me!

Hi Brenda & Mary and all who may follow!

I am working 16 hours today . . and looking at the beautiful blue sky out the window.

I don't have to be here until 3:00 tomorrow so I will be able to get a walk in and enjoy some of the sunshine.

QOTD- I am an emotional eater . . I thought I had it licked . . but than my son went to Iraq and I gained 20 lbs . . what a shock for me that the surgery didn't fix that part of me!

I thought because I couldn't eat chocolate  . . ice cream . . cookies . . I wouldn't gain weight.  Well I have learned I am a carb junkie . . crackers, pretzels (which I haven't had any of in almost 2 1/2 months) . . Lays light chips . .  I could go on . . so I have to watch my carb in take and still find myself heading to the wheat crackers when I am feeling snacking . . I'm a work in progress!

I was not much of a veggie eater but I have found a way to eat them that works for me and I actually love them now.  I am not a big fan of the yogurt . . but I get my protein in other places.

GOOD QUESTION!

Enjoy the day!

Hello All,

Just back from the gym.  It was an easy work out today. 

QOTD:  I was always a little heavy.  In school I was the size 12 and everybody else was a 2.  My partents are both big people and so is my extened family.  So part is genitics.  I had thyroid cancer when I was 29 and that really started the weight gain.  I gained over 50 pounds in one month and it was not from eating.  I had gained almost a 100 pounds by the time I had my surgeries and radiation treatments.  So part was an illness, the other part is I love real food.  Not candy and cakes, mexican, chineese, meat and potatoes, real food.  So for me it was a combination of a lot of things.  That is why I always tell my kids not to judge a book by its cover.   They usually have many pages. 

 Good afternoon 

I slept late (9:30) and caught up on the past two weeks of  Grey's. OMG! That finale was intense!  Now I actually need to get some work done -- but not too much.

QOTD - eating too much and being lazy. Mostly based in "entitlement" -- which the psych helped me figure out. "I worked hard today, I deserve pizza for dinner and ice cream for dessert."  THEN... once I figured out I needed to get healthy and lose weight, the PCOS prevented me from succeeding. 

Pam-
I knew Grey's was going to be dramatic, but I was kind of caught off guard!  I was crying during the one part with Bailey and the guy (don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn'****ched yet).

Brenda,
Like you I only would eat a few things...they didn't include fruits or veggies, but they did include mostly CARBS.  Part was growing up witha single mom and we had lots of convenient food, but I became reliant on foods to fill many of my voids in life and I have buried many emotions under a ton of food.  I over ate to hide shame, to hide feelings and in the end I ate just to eat because I could.

Morning all,

Finished my protein shake and vit's, on to iced tea soon.  I am sooooo bummed, for lunch I was going to have a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but I forgot my banana....damn that's going to be a dry lunch!

Q:  Were to begin.....1st I was sexually abused as a child and allot of girls that were abused gain weight to ward off predators and hide beneth the fat.  2nd PCOS, which makes it almost impossible to loose weight and of course I emotionally ate.  Unlike allot of you I was fat my whole life.  I was over 100 lbs by 5th grade.  So I was teased by other kids which made me want to hide in a bowl of anything!  

Ok I'll get off the couch now and get back to work ;).
