Easter Confessions - right here

Confession is good for the soul... I'll be back if i don't stick to my best laid plans. It's only 9 a.m. right now, so i have been perfect!

Hi Neecee, I am a way old-timer who lurks my old haunt ocassionally.  Nice to meet you. There is absoutely no candy in my house this Easter.  Not a lone chocolate egg, not a resees nothing.  Just protein and vegetables.  I figured the kids (14 and 17) don't need it, and I certainly don't need it, so there.

Good luck making it through the rest of the day!!

HiJack -- Hi Donna, How are you?  I got your email, sorry I haven't answered, I have just been really busy.  I need to get back to being active on the site.  I have run off into the ditch with my eating.  Lots of life changes going on. It is good to see you face.  And your PS pics are awesom!  Thank you for sharing.  Nice to hear from you. Maren

Trust me I will have some confessions...I was good yesterday and on Saturdays and Sundays I do bad, because then I have 5 days to go back on track I give myself a little bit of a leway on the weekends. Its the only way I can keep sane with this dieting. So I will return!

Me too, Christa! I relax a bit on weekends - with some caution. I use up all 35 of my WW extra points in two days. Usually beer in my case. Hi Donna - i know we've "talked" before somewhere - maybe Exercise board or here, I recognize you! I also bought no candy whatever, not even for my grandsons.  They got clothes and a soccer ball. Candy is not really my thing (though there have been isolated incidents). However, if it's around in a low moment, hard telling. I'm worse about chips/dips/cheese, etc. So, holidays can be rough in that aspect. I think i will make it today - just got back from DD house, and only snarfed two halves of deviled egg. That was lunch, so i ain't even  trippin. DH and I are making a grilled chicken, big salad and grilled sweet potato tonight.

Heya Neecee,      Surprisingly, I made it through the day binge-less. :-)  The first family meal (lunch) I had a small filet mignon, a piece of meatloaf, and some beans.  Then at the second meal this evening (with the in-laws) I had a hamburger and one deviled egg.  Even though everyone's been snarfing desserts and candy all around me all day long, I actually haven't even felt that tempted.  I think I'm being helped along by being a hair sick though (low-grade fever, really tired, aches and chills), so I'd actually rather sleep at the moment than eat! LOL  I'm going to bed really early this evening I think.  Supposed to start drywalling in the basement tomorrow and need some energy first.

Well I didn't "binge" I was better then a usual Holiday TRUST ME! Anyways I had 3 small barbque ribs, one helping of tuna macoroni, one helping of green been casserole, a whole wheat roll, and water, Then a small piece of apple pie...oh Ih ad some jelly beans too. So for a metter of fact I did DAMN good! Woohooo I am proud!!!

Not bad! At all!!!! I did have some ff cottage cheese, salsa and crackers, in lieu of a bariatric snack as planned. For the day, I ate my 23 WW points. I'm good.

I did really good, except for eating way too late.  I ate pork shoulder, stir-fryed vegetables, whole grain rice, and sf banana cake.  Yea, me.....congratulations to everyone.

I did okay this weekend.  The best news is I'm not stressing over my goof ups.  Saturday the wife and I went out for a milkshake because she mentioned it and then something went off in my head and forced my body to drive all the way to the ice cream place!  OMG, I was possessed! hahah  Anyways, I got a Butterfinger Twister which is french vanilla yogurt with heavenly butterfinger in it. YUM!  I ordered a small and ate about 1/2 of it.  Later that night the wife got into my rice cakes and brought the bag into the living room and left it near me. Somehow I ate the whole bag! Wonder how that happens eh?? :)  Oh well, at least it was better than a bag of chips. On Sunday, my  brother and sister came over with the kids so we decided to cook out.  It was warm enough to fire up the grill so we had BBQ chicken breast and legs, bratwurst, hotdogs along with mac-n-cheese, pasta salad and baked beans.  I had 1 leg and about a  1/4 of a chicken breast with a spoonful of each side, a brat and a hotdog. Lol, over did it just a lil bit there but hey, I had about 300 calories earlier that day and that's it. So I ain't stressing!  Stepped on the scales this morning at I'm at 303 lbs which is still a loss.  My official weigh-in is Tuesday so I'll wait till then to officially call it a loss! I also went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of  100-calorie snack packs and rice cakes for work.  The wife got sick so I didn't have time to finish shopping but I've got my breakfast items and my snack food so I'm good to go for this week breakfast wise.  Had peaches and cream oatmeal this morning, 2 packs 240 calories, for breakfast. It was wonderful! I also have some Kashi cereal. Want to get some low-sodium bacon and egg whites for those mornings when I actually wake up on time!
