Oh I'll give you the scolding you deserve.
How dare you.
How dare you.
How dare you compare me to Frisco!!!
Frisco is a snide*, inconsiderable*, angry*, ignorant*, miserable* internet bully* and provocateur**. He is also a man of questionable hygiene*** and of low moral turpitude****.
I have never been so insulted in .... the last seventeen minutes of my life.
YOU ARE OFF MY HOLIDAY CARD LIST. FOR ONE MONTH. I'm sorry, but I draw boundaries and respect the boundaries I draw; don't waste your time pleading for my mercy. This is just how it has to be Nancy, and I don't want to hear about how your name isn't Nancy.
* This is patently false.
** Ok, this one is true.
*** I have no idea if this is true, but making up things is fun!!!
**** Honestly, this is my failing - you should have seen me in college! Er... good thing you didn't.
P.S. I award you three funny points for the D.S. joke that if you had posted in the main forum would have caused a tyrannical uprising against you and your loved ones.
No question about my hygiene.....I'm fresh !!!
The rest.....is debatable !!!
Well, being compared to Ruggie just raises my Forum Cred !!!!!

I'm good with that !!!!

I have no idea what these words are.
I suspect you have made them all up.
I think a portico is something you stand on, on a building? uh....
Seriously.... what are these things... uh.... I think I have some glitter here somewhere....

Y'all are a scream! 
Now, Wanda, if I had had the sense or guts to do what you just did the first time I dived headfirst into garbage food, I wouldn't have regained 30 pounds a couple of years ago and wouldn't have been fighting tooth and nail since to get the blasted poundage back off. Best wishes!!!!

Dorothy - Don't know if it's sense or guts, but by golly I just took a look at my before picture and that was motivation enough!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Eating junk begets eating junk for me. I truly believe that the "whites" (sugar, white flour) are addicting for me. I did a detox beginning on Ash Wednesday. Really. I felt like s#*t for days. The scale didn't budge for two weeks. It was my own personal desert time of dealing with my demons. The thing about uneffective carbs with me is that no amount will satisfy me because I'm eating with my head and not my sleeve. Those carbs just slide right on through with no satisfaction. I had to return to eating clean and I even gave up protein bars and powder. I got my protein from real food. I even gave up fruit because of the natural sugar. So will this work for you? I don't know. My Fitness Pal revealed what a mess my eating had become. I had to own it and move on. I hope you find the clarity that you need. Really I do!

I think you are right, Janet. I like the statement that you are eating with your head and not your sleeve. This is so true! If I wasn't exercising as much as I do, I would be in big trouble. The scale was up 3 pounds this morning. I know some of it is water, but it still scares me. I've laid out fish for lunch and I may eat it again for supper today. I have plenty of fruit. Those carbs don't seem to affect me like processed sugar does. I don't see affect from flour either, although maybe that's because I rarely eat bread, pasta, etc.
I need to really LOOK at my Fitness Pal. I'm logging my food - yes all that evil stuff - but not looking at the results. I had better do that. Thanks for the heads up.
After 2 years, I'm still learning...failing...then learning again. A work in progress. I just have to make sure I'm working toward progress and not failure.

I wanted to have you reread an earlier post of mine. I reread it whenever I need motivation. I hope it helps.
OK, take a deep breath, hold my hand, and here we go.....
First, we have all been there over and over and over again. This is not the last time you are going to find yourself here therefore how we learn to deal with this really determines our success or failure long term. No pressure right. Second, this can be dealt with. Really, it is going to be alright in the end. I promise. Take another deep breath. OK, back to basics.
NUMBER ONE RULE: MAKE A PLAN
I am not kidding, stop reading right now, and get a paper and pencil or open another screen or whatever you need to do to take notes. You are going to make a plan, just for you, and you are going to stick with it until....
Your plan is going to include the number or calories you are going to eat everyday, the protein count, the carb count, the water amount. You are going to write down just how you are planning to keep yourself accountable, is it going to be written in a brand new shiny notebook, a website, some other way. Make a choice right now. Ask yourself about the number of times you are going to eat every day. Are you going to eat three times a day and no snacks? Or are you going to allow yourself two snacks and three meals? How many meals and when will you eat them? Are you going to have a schedule or are you using some other way to plan them out? How are you going to measure your food? Are you using small bowls that only hold about one cup to eat from? Are you using a scale, a measuring cup or what? Which threads are you going to be accountable on? The maintenance weight one from Cindy? or Ms. Shell's or what? I want details. How are you going to get your water in? Do you use a particular bottle that you know the measurement of and you need a particular number of them a day to meet your goal? Do you see where I am going here. I WANT A DETAILED PLAN in writing and with accountability. Now drop and give me twenty. Just kidding there. :)
This is how you are going to win this battle. You are going to plan to win it, organize your life around winning it, and report back about how well you are winning it. You will make corrections as needed until you get to goal. We are going to cheer you on the whole way home. This is how you will win this time and the next time and the time after that. This is for life. Stay connected, never forget where you started and don't ever get ****y that you "got" this. I will be there for you and you will need to be there for me when I need it. Together we are strong. I believe in you, make it happen.
