What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?

Well, today was one of the weirdest things that's ever happened to me.  I had to mail a package and there was a woman in the post office that I've known and socialized with since high school, but I haven't seen her in five years.  She was filling out paper work and I went over to her to tease her and I said, "Whatever you're doing it looks illegal!"  She said, "It's legal".  And then turned away from me.  She didn't recognize me at all!!!  She usually gives me a big hug when she sees me.  I was stunned. 

So I'm proud that I don't look like I used to.  I was miserable when I looked like that.  I guess I've come farther than I thought I had!

Dontcha  it when you look so HAWT that people don't recognize you?!  And don't argue about being HAWT 'cuz we have proof you are. 

I'm proud that I resisted nachos, french fries, cheeseburgers and onion rings ALL weekend despite going to Jax Grill 4 times.  Oh, and NO chips while eating at the mexican restaurant. 

No chips at the Mexican restaurant?  Dayum!  My question is, why does it not get easier over time to resist such things.  I rarely eat the chips either all though I lust the whole time I'm there.  One would think it would get easier to resist, but uh uh...HARD!  Now I want tacos!  Maaaan.

Mary

Well, Mar...did she give you that hug, or did you just walk away???? LOL, that sounds awesome that she did not recognize you.

Me?  I stopped taking any phendimetrazine pills. This was day 3. It dawned on me that they were not really helping me anyway! Duh. Bascially, i get by on raw determination and do not eat when i hit the door after work. Maybe these dumb things were the reason I am not sleeping, we'll see.

I am proud that I did as good withouth 'em as with 'em...maybe better.

My plan is supper will be no more than 2 cups max food.  Back to measuring!!!! Just eating these huge suppers...which thank god, seem to be maintaining, but I wanna see scale movement, so this is not working for me.

ETA:  Mary, you get some kind of award for guessing why Lor is such a weight fluctuator. I almost choked on my coffee like 4 times over your diagnoses. Um, keep yer day job, right?

  No hug, just rejection.

Wow, how great is that that you are getting off of the pills.  And kicking ass while your at it.  And since sleep is so important to weight loss, you may end up moving the numbers just by getting some rest.  Let us know if you have any great dreams involving umm...fun.  

About diagnosing Lori.  That was me being silly to help relieve her stresss.  I used to do things like that to make my sister laugh when she was getting ready to have one of her surgeries.  It's hard to stay focused on the bad when the town idiot is making no sense at all!!!

I got back on my stationary bike for the first time all summer. When I stopped, I could only ride 3 miles at a time and it took me 30 minutes. This time I rode a 5 miles stretch in 35 minutes.

Think that's it but it's a big "it" to me.

Hot damn Beth, that's a pretty big accomplishment you've got going on there!    Keep peddling...pretend you're on your way to buy some skinny jeans!

Mary

Good for you Beth!!  I too made it to the Y and did an hour of water walking.  Don't know why that's such a struggle when I enjoy it so much once I get there!

Hey Sherrie, we need to figure out why we have such a hard time getting started on our workouts.  I hate to excercise...cuz my endorphins are on permanent vacation!
