Accountability Post

Family and Friends.... We also posted this weekend about keeping each other accountable if we all need it. Sometimes by putting out in public and in writing so we can keep ourselves accountable. We can try a weekly or more often (whatever people want to do) post on what to keep each other accountable for. Also, let us know if you want us to ask you about it...if not, we will just be here to listen and support. If you want us to ask about it, we can help do that too. My new boss is of the simplistic approach and I like that she does not focus on too much...if we do, we can't focus on getting the biggest things done and well. This is not for everyone but just a thought..... So, let's give it a try......let us know what you want to keep yourself accountable to this week or few days..... Hugs, Nannie

Okay, I have TONS to do this week but if I can do the following it would be awesome: - Workout three times this week (to help me get started) - Cut down to low carb amounts of white starches and increase protein and veggies - Clean closets (by end of week) in bedroom (including getting unpacked from trips) - Send family care packages - Order and start sending Thank You notes from wedding These are big to me and YES ask me about it through the week.....thanks my friends! Love, Nannie

I HAVE to get back on track. I am almost 3 years out and haven't come close to goal. Some of it is my fault and some of it is the lack of a good fill that I had for the first 2 years. With that being said, I have hit a good number loss wise, and haven't gained ANY of the weight back that I have lost. I am only 1/2 way there though, so the number ahead of me tends to counteract the joy I feel with my loss to date So, I am going to do the 5 day pouch test, not because my pouch isn't work, but I need to refocus on putting healthy things in my body again. Another problem I have is not eating enough. I eat 800 calories on a good day and unfortunately a lot of those calories come from carbs. I am going to put at LEAST 1200 calories of good, low carb foods in my body. I am going to eliminate caffeine from my diet (no more starbucks for a while) I am going to do the 5 day pouch test sucessfully! Thanks Ann. Consider ourselves accountable.

1. more sex 2. continue low carb 3. continue listening to my belly. kellee* *down 3 since elimintating/reducing carbs & paying attn to when I am full, & hitting my protein. morning annie.

what I really need to be doing.. is reading the AA book.. I've read like the first two chapters.. and my sponsor would like for me to read more. I could of done some over the weekend.. but Dan and I are busy during the day.. and at night if I try to read in bed I fall asleep right away So I need to take half hour during lunch to read a chapter a day.. so today at lunch is chapter three.. also I want to go thru more clothes in my closet.. I've already done this and gave up some... but I KNOW that there is more I can part with.. if I give away more I can make room for clothes I have folded and laying around or hanging in the laundry room.. less clutter.. more peace of mind/heart.. more homey!! I will get a box.. or bucket and as I see stuff put it in the box.. and as I put stuff on and don't really care for it.. *cuz I do put stuff on.. and say Naaaa.. and take it off* I will put it in the box until it's full and then DONATE it. thanks Annie.. for holding me accountable.. it really does work for me

When I was younger (25 or so) I had a freind that was an alcoholic and he gave me their book and I read it cover to cover. Amazing book and amazing life stories. What a road to travel. Love ya Sparky

almost wish you were an alcoholic just so you can participate more huh Sparkie it is pretty awesome.. the lead Sunday was very good.. she was funny.. should be a stand up comedian.. I like at one part she said.. her mom asked her.. " I don't know why you act and do the things you do.. you must be sooo depressed." and she said.. "mom. I'm an alcoholic.".. and her mom said.. "well.. if I was an alcoholic I would be depressed too..".. .. maybe you had to be there.. but she gave a very good lead.. and there's nothing like being able to laugh at our own sickness.. love ya back more

btw.. if anyone would like to read the Big Book.. here is the link to Online. I'm trying to hurry and read chapter 3 before I get off of work.. but thought I would share this link. http://www.aa.org/bigbookonline/en_tableofcnt.cfm btw ANYONE.. I'm not trying to preach.. sorry if it appears to be so. If you can use this info.. here it is.. if not, just pass over it! Thanks..

Bah....Why do you make me ponder such things? 1-I have to go to the dr, I'm pretty sure I have an ulcer. 2-That's 3 different dr's.a)pcp{full blood panel}, b)gastro/surgery{my insides should not be hurting like this} c)gi dude{scope and colonoscopy} I have no desire to go to the dr's at all, I think my husband will kill me if I ***** about it anymore.....I've learned I am very tolerable to pain, but when it makes me double over and say,holy **** that hurts, something is definatly wrong. I've lost 13 pounds since July 24th. Is that normal? That can't all be from simply not drinking alcohol. I don't exercise by any means. Now it's to the point I won't eat in fear of gaining weight. I'm an idiot, but that's what this forum is for. Family and friends and weightloss stuff. The funny thing is, 3 years ago my pcp told me, Liz alot of people that get this surgery end up with eating disorders worse than they had prior to surgery. yeah yeah, yadda yadda, that won't happen to me.....So wait, I think that's 1 more dr, I should add to my list, and if I tell my shrink he'll just send me to someone else. See why I hate being accountable for my stuff. It's a tumbling tumbleweed of tumbles...down hill, at massive speed. Liz ps-that's 5 dr's. I refuse.

**SLACKER** pointing to self already didn't read chapter 3 today at lunch..
