whats the dif between starvation and satisfaction?

Both of those made me cringe lol.  I am not a fan of White Castle in the first place.. I feel like it is mush on a bun it isnt even meat! lol If I am gonna have a burger I want a big fat one. Carrots arent my fav either i eat them from time to time but eh.

Lol all I read from my post was "white castle burger".  I like them.  even after re-reading my post the burger sounded more appetizing! hahah  Carrots and dressing..  meh.. even if you put it on a pretty plate it's not appetizing.

Sometimes I am glad to be an Aussie... I have never even heard of a white castle burger.

not so fast there, Em!  Aussies are gaining too! 80% increase in adult obesity, fast food joints growing and growing too.

Totally agree- what I meant was that we don't have anywhere near the range of brands that the US does do it is good that I am not going to be tempted by all that variety.

When I grew up my city had (((1))) Mc Donalds... now 30 years later we have at least 10 here, plus we now have Burger King (still only 1), Hungry Jacks (that only came here in the last 10 years), we have numerous Subways, lots and lots of pizza places, but we don't have Taco Bell or Wendy's in Australia as far as I have ever heard. Although we do have a Wendy's that sells icecreams/hotdogs type things. Crispy Kreme only started a store here last year- and I am glad to say I have NEVER eaten anything from there- or indeed even been there.

We did invent the meat pie- now that is 'obesity' ready to go in a mini meal.

Thats right you and i are alike as well. ALL or NOTHING! Like I tell myself everyday Christa you're going to do it, you're going to conquer all of this come on. Somehow I am gettting no where. My biggest battle is at home. While i am here at work I am perfect. But at home...alone by myself just me and the cat....I can do whatever  I want. Eat whatever and whenever. See I am good when people are around because i dont want people thinking "OMG did you see what she ate and how much" You know that feeling people look at over weight people like we EAT EVERYTHING. Did you know I dont eat candy or ice cream. People would look at me and think I eat that crap ALL the time...I dont.  I really just need to get back into my exercising.

I know I have had that problem with needing to fill full.  It's really not a good feeling, but it was something I felt I needed.  As for the White Castle burgers, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! Why does something that can be controlled with our minds have to be so difficult to change for life? Here's to hoping someday there will be a magic pill, but for now no cigar.  Truth is we will always have to fight if we want to win this battle.

from the TOPS pledge.... I will remember, even though I overeat in private, My excess poundage is there for all the world to see bad news my dear.... they know.

Christa, Just remember, you are never alone when you have these feelings.  I just have one thing to ask you. If it sounds harsh, well, you are used to me by now. Do you really think your coworkers care if you eat?  They have their own demons, they aren't counting yours.  The only one you hurt when you sneak food is yourself.  The only one that you have to be accountable to is yourself.  So if you can eat anything when you are alone, and you do, who are you fooling?? I know you already know this, I just wanted to remind you...and maybe myself too!!

Thank you. Yea I know. And i always feel awful when I eat bad. Because I am feeling awful about what I ate for lunch today. But yesterday I started taking my Alli Pills again which do help me out alot. I have to take accountability to myself. I had McDonalds for lunch today. Blah. It tasted really good too. But now I am just like damn Christa! It wasn't a binge I did order a large meal but i didnt eat all the fries I just wanted the large drink mainly. And I haven't been binging just eating the wrong foods. But I am glad I am not binging on anything. I have actually been keeping it to just meals or snacks I am not stuffing my face like a crazy person. So I popped an Alli Pill knowing I will have some kind of effect that will say good job you dumbass look at what you did to yourself lol.

Today is my mothers birthday we are going out to have chinese. Imagine that we always have chinese i swear. Which I can not control my self while I am there but I am going to cut it down to just ONE plate of food not two. And will take an Alli pill. And tonight for cake...a small piece just to satisfy me...or maybe just a bite of someones. Tomorrow should be better.  will be active and dooing things all day long. Work, then tan, then go shopping. I am going to pick up some Spanx, I need them for my Halloween outfit i believe they now have some fishnet ones so it goes with my costume and it will suck me in a bit and smooth me out. lol. So I wont be thinking about food I will be thinking about what next could I buy lol.  One day at a time.
