Wow - I'm amazed that you're doing something that is so scary! Of course I don't know what it is yet, but if it's something that has been so strongly affecting you it's very impressive that you're taking steps to conquor it. Good for you!

Topic: What are you celebrating and proud of? Weekend Edition
Good Morning fellow losers........... (you know I say that with lots of affection!)
So today I'm celebrating and proud that I am very actively facing one of the biggest fears in my live. It's hindered me, tortured me and held me back for the past 12 or more years. I'm taking steps to face it head on I'll fill you in on more details in a couple of days but I am so proud that I am not just sitting here accepting this limitation without a fight. I am giving it my all trying to overcome it. I realize I may not be successful but I am optimistic.
Facing our fears is part of conquering the battle of the bulge too. Most often our food issues really have nothing to do with food, it's something much deeper that we use food to cover up.
So what are you celebrating and proud of today??

Topic: RE: Steroids Suck
You're so right. gloop!
I am OCD about the scale, obviously. But I too cannot do the once weekly weigh-in. It just doesn't work for me. In fact, I did some thinking after I posted last night and decided that instead of waiting (x) number of days to weigh after this latest mega-dose of steroids, I would weigh ONCE a day, in the morning, and be done. That's a challenge, but it's something I will have much more success with! All or nothing thinking gets me into trouble. So.....I *did* step on the scale this morning, and it was a number I can live with. not wonderful, not 208.3 of a few days ago, rather 210.3. But it wasn't the 214.9 that I saw last night! Jeepers! I know I'll be under 210 again in a day or so and then it will be smooth sailing to get under 200. I'm thinking about setting a reasonable goal for that number.....but haven't come up with a specific date. Certainly by May 14. In fact, maybe that will be my goal. Under 200 by May 14. I've got my work cut out for me!

Topic: RE: Steroids Suck
There seems to be two schools of thought about the scale. Some say do it weekly so you don't get upset about daily fluctuations and some say daily to keep on track. I'm going with the daily because I find it keeps me honest. If I weigh and it's up I make a conscious effort not to get upset and trigger myself into an eating binge but to use it as a reminder that I need to stay on track. I find it works because when I'm really good and losing weight I get the "I can treat myself just a little" mindset and of course I gain weight so if I weigh weekly I can gain a whole weeks worth whereas if I do daily I can nip it in the bud. I understand what you mean about the head games with the scale but I try not to allow it to affect me emotionally and just try to think of it as a keep on track/monitoring tool. I think once a day is enough though, you know you don't need to be hopping on there ever minute LOL

Topic: RE: Amino Acid
Never heard of this. Yes, amino acids are essential for good health and all fruits and vegetables, grains and beans have amino acids, you don't need to get them out of a bottle. Getting your amino acids from natural food will mean you are getting all the other nutrients your body needs as well. I've tried weight loss pills and all other types of concoctions in the past and would not recommend them to anyone. Good luck with this if you decide to do it.

Nice link Moosie! Thats the way I've been losing this past year, just being careful, making better healthy choices, and NOT dieting....

Topic: Amino Acid
I joined a gym today with my mother and the lady was talking to us and encouraged us to do an Amino Acid Diet, has anyone done this b4? It seems like its really good for your body but I dont knwo for sure, b4 I commit to trying it im going to talk it over with my primary care doctor and see what his thoughts are about it? He wants to give me Phentermine pills to help lose weight, I dont know if thats a good idea either being that they are very addictive. I am starting my thyroid medication tomorrow and i keep having peopel tell me that the weight will start coming right off i guess something is wrong with my thyroid. But back to the main reason for this post lol, Amino Acid Diet, have you heard of it or tried it what do you think?
