Monday weigh-in...

 Hey all!  Great to see so many doing well,  as for me... well I have had kind of a sucky week.  My weight went up 8 pounds then back down in the span of about 4 days!!!  Talk about panic... I fought the urge to just stop eating... a BAD habit to get into , I know!!!  I feel I am teetering between food addictions... on one hand there is going back up the scale and the fear of gaining weight again... and the other in which I turn off food completely.  I feel like I am getting a better handle on the last one... but the fear of gaining weight again is crazy intense!

I know its all water weight-  my ankles are so swollen that my socks hurt!!  I havent done much exercise... quite frankly because I am afraid of the snow LOL.  I know that may seem silly-  but I was really hurt not too long ago from a slip and fall... the idea of breaking something has me almost frozen in fear.  Simon is being patient with me and offers an arm for support-  he keeps reminding me that I am NOT 645 pounds anymore... somehow I forget still.  I had been out of my protein drinks for about 3 weeks and noticed once again my hair getting really thin... found out there is extra biotin in the Premier shakes... so I bought some to boost this.  I know vanity is bad... but I HATE the way my hair looks... I am used to having long flowing hair... not little short whispers.  Sigh.  

Body wise-  its changing a LOT.  Simon really doesnt notice... because , well frankly I dont let him sit there and stare at my fat like I do in the mirror LOL.  I am being crazy good about my supplements and trying to do a bit of crunches and push ups to get ready for my upcoming surgery.  I will start adding some tae bo as well-  seeing as how I couldnt find any richard simmons online LOL.  
So heres to hopefully a better week this week!

Cheers!,

Sarah I completly understand your fear of snow. I had a bad fall about 10 years ago (wow that's long) and for the first couple of winters I avoided going out and was even trapped in my appartment from fear of falling on the ice. My mom had to walk over and shop up the ice so I could get out. ;(

I have found some Richard Simmons on ebay. VHS mind you, but it's possible to find it.
Oh and for the hair thing. I get it too, my neck is freazing all the time now, and I'm sure it's because my hair is so thin nothing to protect it.

Have a great week and hopefully the water weight will be gone !!

You are all working so hard. I also ate anything that moved last week. bad week.  I can't wait for xmas to be over and get back on track.  I have to do the meat pies and the baked goods and the bread for our family party on the 19th.  The temptation is always there and the devil always wins.  Will power is what I need.   Doris QC.
