Feeling a little better but my motivation is close to zero

Glad to hear that things are improving some -- and about the hot steamy boy! I wish I could wave the magic motivation wand over us both -- but mine is apparently lost.  

I have found that before pictures seem to have the greatest impact.  I can eat like this -- and look like that again.  Or I can eat differently, and not look like that.  Or I go back to my lists of things I want to do that I couldn't do when I was heavier.

Sending you hugs (well, not sure you need those, since you have a hot steamy boy! LOL!), good thoughts and prayers your way!

It is well established that hot, steamy boys can provide a significant palliative effect.  Take in moderation.  :)

What plan did you follow when you were in active WL mode, sweetie?  Can you do something like that, but perhaps not as severe?

Does stevia hammer you with the same lousy side effects on your system as other artificials do?

GLAD to hear that you experienced some pain relief yesterday and hope and pray for another day like that for you.  One day at a time.  Sometimes five minutes at a time.  You have been through so much, but I know you have some fight left in you.  I know it.

Im going to try some of these sweetners like stevia and monk fruit. I need to cut out all the other junk first though so that I can really feel if there's any affect. But, I guess if I have a reason, maybe it'll be easier to cut the sweet n low habit lol. 

I didnt really have a plan in WL - i just flew by the seat of my pants, but, I do have somewhere in the range of 800 days of food logs so I can go back to that and look at my better months. 

I dont do moderation - especially with hot steamy boys. Mmmmm :)

:)   Ah, youth.

LOL our priorities are questionable at times :-p

Let  the record show that ***I*** did not say that.  :)

YAY for the back feeling better! BOO for the "lose 30 lbs quick." I would have ***** slapped a doctor (okay, not really, but we would have had some words) for saying that to me. I'm mean **** do they think we WANT to fell frumpy??

I haven't worked out in a month. Sucks. I'm hoping when school starts again and I'm on a more regular schedule that I will be able to start walking again.  

Do the best you can with today.

*Hugs*

I wanted to scream at the doctor but..I guess when it comes to my back, the more weight I get off, the better chance of my disks healing without surgery. But ****my WL juice is empty :-p  

Going to the beach with a hot guy is very motivational! 

I'm glad you are starting to feel better. 

Loved your latest blog.  It's good to see the SSB coming back!

Yes....even if it kills me, Im taking my SSB ass to the beach :)
