What we are eating and what's eating us.Saturday!
Hi guys,sorry I am late.No work for me today,much friggin pain and almost fell! No sympathy needed. I am giving up the ghost! I am changing my damn shift,no more trying to rise at 4AM,what is the point?? I am going to try for 9-5,then maybe I can get my butt in gear before it is time for work. The best laid plans of mice and men
.
B- Coffee and pain pills L-Chicken and stringbeans with onions D- Little ham and some Turnip greens S- Apple
Sorry if I sound angry,I am just giving up the ghost,making some changes. Meanwhile,the nice man keeps calling...smile. Nice and easy does it,and I fought falling this morning,and I won!!

Hey there Linda,
Giving up the ghost? sometimes that is what has to happen to get a change in our life. The 9-5 shift may be the perfect solution for you. Rising at 4 a.m. is like the middle of the night for me.
"The nice man" calling has to boost the spirit some. What a wonderful treat. Nothing like being desired to make one feel good.
No menu for me today. I'm taking a long look at the fridge and cupboards with an "evil eye" approach. I'm going to set down some new rules for the kitchen behavior.... gee and it isn't the new year yet.
Have a fun, pain free day..

Hiya sweet Millie,I hear ya,about the evil,and assume honest eye at the food. This is the new year for me,I am going into reality/protective mode. Sounds like you are too. Yes,it is nice to have a gentlemen talking to me. For a long time I did not like men,but so far,he is like a teddy bear..smile.
I must adjust to my new life. I thought WLS would take away more than it did. I guess I thought I would turn into Tinker Bell..LOL.
I have a lot of feelings going through me. Most of all,I must remember that God is good. I am not a holy roller either,but do believe in a power greater than myself. If not,I do not know what I would do.
I am going to be honest with myself,and also listen to you guys,for you all help and inspire me.
Congrats on your honest efforts!
Hugs..

Hey there Linda,
You don't need to punch a time clock here, so relax Babe. We will wait for you.
"Almost falling" is even better than "almost pregnant". Slow and steady, okay? Can't have you damaging the goods.
It is almost 1:00 pm and I'm still lounging in my black silk jammies.
Today is a day of doing nothing but rest, relax and enjoy.
B- cottage cheese, berries, Kashi
L - salad with ham
D - ??? good question
S - apple and peanut butter
Kisses

hi linda and everyone
sorry you are hurting honey, but glad you did not fall. yes, maybe changing your shift would be a grand idea. cant hurt to try
im home from my accident at least, and taking one day at a time here, still hurting but at least im home.
food is not interesting right now, so the eating is going well at least for now. anyway i cant get anything from the fridge on my own, the way im trussed up in this wheelchair, so that alone is great portion control
talk to all soon, be safe and well, jacki

Post Date: 12/27/08 5:32 pm I got a call from my brother tonight. I should have seen the area code and blocked it, but it had been so long. Nothing he said made sense. Finally I said, "Don't call back." When I heard his voice, I was so scared, I ran away. I don't know where. My husband found me cuddling the puppies and pulled me away from them. I just want to run away. I'm so scared. He has hurt me so much, has hurt my mom so much. You don't understand torture until you have experienced it...mental and physical torture...for years...I can't begin to describe it. I know that my husband would kill him to defend me, but I don't ever want that kind of confrontation to happen. I'm so scared. I have a restraining order against him, but it's meaningless...the local cops won't extrradite someone just based on a phone call. My husband refuses to change our phone number because he says it would be giving in to my brother's terrorism. I guess I need to return to counseling, but I've been down that road so many times before... Jean Down 90 lbs from my highest weight - down 80.5 lbs thanks to my band! Was: size 24/3X - Now: size 10/M - still 5'2". 4 cc Inamed band w/ 2.35cc as of 12/8/08 - 8 fills & 4 unfills |

I am guilty of eating too much junk this last week. My weight has gone up 4 lbs. Not acceptable. I know what I need to do and I will do it. That is why I weigh every day. Saturday was the start of being sensible.
B - eggs and cheese
L - Pea Soup
Snacks cheese, pineapple, 5 reduced fat vanilla wafers.
S (when I eat it) - Pea soup
Linda, you take care of yourself. Do what you have to do. My problem with my sleep lately is that I have not been sticking to the same schedule. I used to bed at 4AM on my off days, this month, I started turning in at midnight or so. Messes up my schedule and my body. Back to basics.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
George,isn't it wonderful that we can make choices and rein ourselves back in if we want to?
Bravo for you!! I forget why I decided going to work so early was good,I think it had to do with the heat when I was way over 200 pounds more than I am now.
We have to take care of ourselves and stay honest.
Kudos to you!
