Random whines-- pity party starts here

You should have stripped off the bra and demanded a recount! That does suck!!!

Good for you for hanging in there and doing what you know you need to do... it does suck, but try to remember the reasons that you are where you are, and those don't suck as bad, right?

I haven't had too many days like that... except for when we went to the State Fair... I was so pissed off that everything smelled so heavenly, and I was consciously making the decision NOT to eat any of it. Except for a few bites of a turkey leg, because that was THE ONLY thing there that was even remotely acceptable... but I wanted fried twinkies, greasy sandwiches, cold beer, and so much more!

I'm sure I'll have plenty more of these days... thanks for keeping it real and reminding us of the struggles we'll have for the rest of our lives!

"Strip off my bra" ... and reveal deflate gate-- nope!. I'd rather have the extra weight documented lol.

last time I felt like this was in the summer when we were walking the boardwalk on the beach and at the amusement park. I'm glad there are no state fairs near me. 

OMG deflate gate is REAL!

I agree, Peach. That does suck, especially the part about your study.   I can only offer support for just how much that sucks. The fall smells and food get to me, too. Fall is my favorite time of year, with pumpkin bread, warm drinks, and holiday food. I've turned to spiced herbal teas to get some fall goodness without sabotaging myself. Cinnamon apple tea helps a lot.

My personal "this sucks": I'm back at work, and hospitals are one of the worst places to work and try to lose weight. There has been candy EVERYWHERE. Someone brought in boxes and boxes of honey buns. Potlucks full of food I can't eat. I have ketosis breath so badly, the acetone taste just makes me sick sometimes. Then, I get home and discover that my husband, who can eat anything, ate almost all my fat free refried beans with mild salsa and a little cheese. And I can't eat what's left, because he spiced them up to where I can't eat them. He doesn't understand why I was so upset. I was looking forward to those beans this morning, dammit. My scale barely moved this last week. And I want some chocolate so badly.

Wow, impressed that you are back to work so quickly!  Great job!  I was off three weeks and whined like a baby for two more weeks.

Ketosis breath sucks!! Ugh-- it's the worst when your looking forward to something you planned and Someone else eats it. My inner Hulk tends to come out. "Your making me hungry.. you won't like me when I'm hungry" and proceed to smash everything in sight. 

as for the fall drinks, I really like a warmed vanilla protein shake with a little pumpkin spice mixed in.  It's yummy

I'm going to have to try the vanilla warmed. I do like the chocolate (like hot chocolate) with a little cinnamon or sugar free peppermint flavoring.

As for the sugary "treats" the smell of them actually makes me a little nauseous now and I'm grateful for that. Makes it really easy to say no thanks and step away.

Omg I soooo hear you! What is up with our partners zeroing in on the very, very little we can eat when there's a whole pantry available to them? Before my surgery my wife was given free rein to buy any carbs, treats (we are a peanut butter free house right now) and to create a drawer for them at her work. I encourage her to carb load all she wants before coming home yet on the weekends my carefully prepared snacks or meal ingredients start disappearing.  

Mutiny on the bounty 

I consider you lucky ! My guy only eats junk food .. and sports  a six-pac grrrrr . 

So my choice is greasy cheap fast food or frozen pizza or frozen burritos if I want to eat together. He never eats anything healthy I cook - that one year included not a single bite me f a deliciously six course Thanksgiving dinner I made for his family 

I try to see the good side - I can eat what I want and experiment all I want without having to worry about him. But it is frustrating growing great organic food and having no one to share it with or appreciate the amazing taste..
