Liz taking a much deserved break from starting the thread!

Weight 189

Things got bingey for me yesterday. So so so many carbs and waaaaay over my calories. I'm making a conscious effort to forgive myself and move on. Once I started, I entered that "what the hell, might as well eat what I want" mindset. Not my favorite of the various mindsets!

I slept in this morning and don't really have plans for the day. Maybe that's my problem. Too much nothing leads to eating...

Hope you all are off having fun today!

I slept in too, which is good because I needed the sleep, but then I feel conflicted when I realize I lost a good chunk of a morning off.

Quiet afternoon here. My only plans are a trip to Costco and to do some laundry.

Diane S. I am now officially "fat" again, but I totally agree that my sleeve stops me from being morbidly obese. And I can still get the "I am full feeling" that I never had pre sleeve. Pre sleeve I could eat a perfectly adequate or even too big meal and still want more. At least with my sleeve, I do feel satisfied after a reasonable meal, and the thought of more food is unappealing for awhile.

DH and I talked about his retirement, which was planned for next spring when he turned 62. He works 3 weekends a month, and 2 nights a week. It's a very physical job, which has kept him healthy, but he's coming home exhausted. He has a good amount of vacation time, but they aren't letting people take more than 1 week at a time, so previous trips like a 15 day tour of Italy or 10 days in Ireland are off the table indefinitely. His plan was to find something part time, but be off when I'm off. I'll retire when I'm 64. But now he's vascilating, telling me he's not sure it's a good idea etc. Argh. He doesn't like big changes. I on the other hand would be setting off fireworks if I thought I could retire in a year, even though I like my job. But arguing is not where I want to be either, so I took a step back. I can control me. Our discussion ended with he can choose not to retire, but then I need to get on with the things I want to do. I would prefer to do them with him, always, but I can hit the road by myself or with a friend and have fun too. I'm sure there will be many interesting discussions in the next year. In the meantime, we have 2 5 day trips on the books already, Las Vegas in a week, and New Orleans in October. Not much to complain about.

Good Morning All

Back at the city house and starting what may be my second last week working from home. Lots going on and none of it good - Im very stressed and trying to just take it day by day but DANG its hard !

Today is just work then Im going to get my hair cut and coloured. Trying to fit in a lot of my apts before the changeover as I likely wont have any time to do them once I start at the other job - that is if I do.....

Not really much more to add. I had best go try and find some motivation - the things that are going on have basically left me with zero drive

Enjoy your Sunday all
