OK   so this is day 4 and it is almost gone so you are more than half finished. 3 more days and you got it beat. Good weather for it. Not stinking hot. You can do this!! 72 more hours and you will be asleep for 24 of those. YES!!!  This time you will complete the task and move forward.

It is too funny that you should mention sleep because when I go to bed at night, I think about all the work my body is doing while I sleep. I think about all the food that is not in my stomach hindering my body's work. I think about how efficient it must be for those 7-8 hours while I am sleeping. I am just so excited that tomorrow I am on day 5 and I am not starving and to top it off, I AM FULL OF ENERGY!! I hope the weekend is not too much of a challange. Tonight I made chicken soup and pureed it in the food processro. Every veggie you can imagine. It turned out wonderful and it made 7 servings. Besides, while I was busy cooking, I had no desire to pick from the pot.  Many great things have happened this week.

Thank you all so much for the amazing encouragement and kind words. I will keep you all posted on the scale victory next Monday night after TOPS.

Chow for now, Carmen

Another day gone !!!  One day closer.  You did so good making the soup & not picking , that is a victory itself.   You are a winner ....be proud !!

Almost there!  How are you doing?  It will feel good to send that email on Sunday with your success story on it!!

You guys are the best.  I don't get  that kind of encouragement here among my aquaintances (except from my DH and that is good) because not alot of people know what I am doing. One of the processing guys at work helped me all week with my water intake. He had my stopwatch and every hour he reminded me to drink my 500ml of water. It was so great how he became such an advocate. He was my coach! This coming week I am working in an office that has a clock tower that dings every hour so that will be my reminder to drink my water. Everyone at work is on board. It is an awesome feeling knowing so many people are cheering me on. So my beginning weight last Monday night at TOPS was 221. This morning at home it was 116.5. There has always been a variance in the two scales so I won't see the true weight until Monday night. I will keep you all posted. Thank you for caring.

Regards, Carmen

YOU DID IT!!! You made it and you survived!!! YES!!! I knew you could do it. Never had a doubt in my mind!!! Now you know you can do it when the time comes and you have to. Congratulations Sugarbear!!!

Yup, I did it!!!! You guys were all very right in saying that by the end of day 4, I would not be hungry. My DH (sometime :-))  decided to invite a bunch of family and friends up for a BBQ yesterday. I really thought it was insensitive and bad timeing on his behalf. BUT I made it through with my protien shake and although everything smelled awesome, I was hot tempted, not even once, to succumb.  So I guess he really helped me by teaching me that I can control myself. So today I start the WLS Clinic 1200 calorie diet that I have to remain on for the next 5 weeks. At least I get to chew veggies!  I am on a roll and definitely on a high. Thanks everyone for your confindence in me. All those messages really boosted up my ego and my self confidence.

I love my OH family!
