lost then cheated

ok everybody i was doing good i had lost 3 pounds but then i ate a ton of steak  sadly so thats about it g o o d b y e so much for long good byes (LOL) Randi

Hi Randi,      ROFL at your Long Goodbye!      While the calories might have put you over the top, at least the food choice was a good one.  (Most people don't become obese having steak binges. :-)  So I'd say it's only a minor set-back cause you didn't carb binge and set yourself up for days of intense cravings.      So pick yourself up (dump any guilt), examine your plan and what triggered you to do it, and then work your new and adjusted plan!  Successful weight loss is always 3 steps forward 2 steps back for most people.  It's just a matter of sticking with it even AFTER we "sin."  :-)

Randi - i've told you a hundred million times - stop exaggerating! You did NOT eat a TON of steak! Okay, feel better? Now let's just move on!  I had kind of a rough weekend myself. I doubt i gained, but I did not lose. Not many veggies, no fruit, sigh...more bread than I've eaten in a while, white bread.  No bike ride, woke up yesterday feeling achy and sore throat, so decided to take it easy, only a walk to the park. Only some major housecleaning on Saturday. Everybody - back to work!

I ate like a hog the whole weekend.  I had pizza on Saturday and McDonalds on Sunday.  I've only got one more day of having a normal tummy so I'm stuffing myself (which I know I shouldn't do).  I'm nervous, guys!!!  Grrr....

Hey Janina,      Is your surgery tomorrow or the 25th?  Good luck!!!!!!

The 25th.  I start my liquid diet on Wednesday.  It'll consist of four things: Yogurt, Pudding, Soup, and Protein shakes.  That's it.  Oh, and Jello on the 7th day.  This is going to be so hellish.  You guys are going to hear me complain A LOT this week. 

Hi Janina,      I vote for pudding! :-)  I've been on a pudding kick recently and eat the entire fat-free/sugar-free box when I do (mixed with skim milk of course).  I love the butterscoth, banana, pistachio, and cheesecake flavors.  Haven't tried the chocolate yet, and oddly enough I didn't care too much for the lemon even though lemon-flavored anything (chicken/cake/whatever) is usually my favorite.  

Yeah, I ordered off peapod my groceries and ordered the pre-made chocolate/vanilla ones that are sugar/fat free.  Those are pretty good.  This is going to be so hard; not chewing for weeks.  Lord, give me strength.

Make sure to ask about protein drinks - those can be very satisfying.  Whirl around with a forzen banana or berries, it's very filling! I love white chocolate  ff pudding.  Yummers. 

You'll be fine! Geez, planning to whine already.  i may have to do the surgery to get some sleep.  LOL
