Hey Pam and PA
A guy in the office brought in a box of dark choc. covered pretzels with halloween jimmies on them. I have had two today!!! I do not dump, don't feel great but i don't dump.............darn it! I have also discovered that I have a thing for reeses peanut butter cups; my period really sucked last week and i had one a day! I know better i just need to get back to the board and start journaling my menu to make myself accountable. I hit the gym really hard at least 4 days a week even with my busy schedule and I am still loosing (slowly). I really don't think i have anything left to loose nor do I want to loose anymore. I hope the Saturday support mtgs become a reality, I miss the group!

Hang in there Gina!!
It's not easy learning how to cope after the initial phase "wears off" but we'll figure it out. I've had things I shouldn't have either....have gotten quite ill feeling afterwards but not true dumping. I haven't had a lot of it - and I don't want to find out how much is "to much" to make me dump.
Lesson learned - move on and forward!

I take the stuff with me (packed the night before) and make breakfast at work. I like the Jimmy Dean D-Lights...I like the english muffin and turkey sausage one. Over all, not too bad, but not an every day thing either. 260 calories, 7 grams of fat, 18 grams of protein, 30 carbs (but I only eat 1/2 the muffin so you can subtract those carbs). I barely give myself enough time to get dressed and out the door in the morning....don't get up early enought to actually make and eat breakfast at home. I get to work by 7:30 so that works for me.
