WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

It is so beautiful or at least the weather is beautiful here ...im sitting on the front porch with my cup of protein coffee and barefooted typing this up...it is right now 62 degrees, actually my feet are a little cold but oh well they will warm up ...
I think my daughter and i are going to go get massages today...my back is in terriable shape and i need to see if they can fix it...she swears by them , we will see.

My youngest daughter checked herself into the re hab unit this morning. i talked to her this morning about 6am...she was on her way over there . I sure hope she gets lots out of it so she is able to learn to deal with things and can stay clean and sober the rest of her life. She sure hasnt had much of a life so far. maybe the rest of it can be calm and laid back and not think she has to deal with stress with stuff....just help me pray for her ok?

so what are you all doing today? what is the weather like at home. do i want to come home yet? lol

love you all

Jan,
The sun is shining this afternoon but it is too chilly and breezy to actually say it's comfortable. BUT, we have enjoyed the sunshine. I've been at work all day - you'd better get back here before April 8 so you can be at the April COF meeting. Everyone is already missing you way too much. I don't envy you getting ready for the move but your new adventure sounds so fun. Not for me - but for you. I'm glad you can take Rebel. He'll love the farm.
Hugs,
Lana

Jan,
By the way - no one posts on here anymore. They are all on Facebook and I really don't like Facebook. It's way too preachy for me. I read on there but rarely post. I think I'm just too old. But I sure do miss everyone.
Lana

i so noticed that, the only reason i posted so much while out of country on facebook was so i could reach everyone. but if you notice im not on there much anymore.....too open , things we say have a way of comeing back to haunt you on there too easy lol   

AMEN!!

HI, Jan....and everyone else. I haven't posted on here in so long! I am so sorry to read of everyones troubles, Bec, Brenda, and a few others ,some I don't know. I'll give a short update (could turn long...who knows lol) MY weight grrrr. I got down to 196 (from 399) I was soo HAPPY!!  but it just crept right back up to 211, I  was 230 when they removed the 12 lb.s of tummy tuck skin, then within a month I got down to my low of 196, but it seems like a few others on here, I have just been eating my way back, I noticed the other day that my size 7 undies are uncomfortable and I have to lay down to button size 12 (with stretch ) jean capris I wore last year...see i'm posting all this to be "accountable" , I am upset with myself!! and I KNOW what I HAVE to do, up the protein, and get off the damned sugar CRACK!!!!! I don't know why I can't give it up? for over a year I never touched 98% of sugar (maybe sm. amounts in food ,sauces etc) no cookies, candy , pie etc. Then one day I had just a few bites of a choc pie...it was so delicious, over the next day I finished the whole piece..then slowly just started with a piece here and there, 1 cookie, then 2 , now 4 or 5. It goes down (carb. sweets) so much easier than the good things. I heard so much bad about the lap band, but you never wear that out so to speak, my sister is a size 8 from a 26  and that was 3 years ago, she hasn't gained ANY weight back...wonder if I can get a band on top of the wls???  (I know i'm stupid) back again to the wls "rules"  if I had any will power to follow the "rules"....I never would of weighed 400 lb.s ..right? I know wls is a tool, but instead of a hand tool, i think I need a jack hammer sized tool!! lol, I say "lol" but I really am not lol, at all! Ok , enough with the pity party, i'm sorry, I know there are such horrible things going on here for everyone else, and Japan, my gosh! I need to get on my knees and thank the Lord for my blessings and protection. I do get on here a read once in ahwile, and those that ask, and some who don't , I do pray for, I just get embarrassed about my failure , and don't want to post, or change my weight loss (gain) ticker...dumb I know...much love and happiness to all! Susan

Susie,
"Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again." Don't be afraid to admit you are human. As you've said, we didn't get to the point of needing surgery because we were superwomen with amazing self control. Do the very best you can every day. Take your vitamins, force protein, drink lots of water, tea or Crystal Lite to wash out the waste from fat cells.
If you need a snack try beef jerky or cottage cheese or count out a few pretzels if you must. None of us is "good" all the time but the trick is to be good way more than bad. You are tough, you had RNY, so I know you can do this. I'll pray for you.
Hugs,
Lana

Thank you Lana, one day at a time...just like A.A .....seriously

 Well Jan it was 68 and sunny at my house today. Not to bad I would say. I hear the next two days will be even better. The old farmers almanac says the 24th we will get hit hard with snow. I guess we will see how good they are.

I am fighting a battle with weight gain here. I can't seem to get it under control. It has to stop. I bought some of those shape up shoes today. Maybe moving more will help.

Prayers are going out to those hurting. We are thinking of you even if you can't be with us.
