Sorry about your neck, Mag glad you are getting some exercise. At this point ANY exercise is GOOD  exercise. I hope to be able to afford some PT come September.
I didn't do too bad yesterday. Usual breakfast, top of chicken leg plus veggies for lunch, bottom for dinner. Was hungry after dinner though, so I had a little beer salami and a little cheese for a snack. OK, we are trying to lose weight b ut I don't believe in hunger!!
Eyes are still bad, doc said I could either take corticosteroids or ride it out. Hubby is pushing for steroids, but I just managed to get myself on track, so I'll probably wait it out. We'll see...
  
Over 110 lbs lost!! (Finally!)

This jopurney is NOT about total deprivation and hunger. It is about finding a healthy balance that we can live with forever. I hope your vision gets better soon. Let us know ok?

I sure hope you get relief for your neck very soon. Maybe to help you get in more water, you could use a method where before you can have something else, or do something else, you have to drink so much water. I have to do this some days when it is looking like I will not get my water in.

Have a great wls day and fast reief wishes coming your way!

Thanks, Patrece,
      That is a very good idea. I never thought of that. I'll try it starting tomorrow.    Mag

You are welcome! I often have to use that method of self discipline with myself. Whatever it takes to accomplish what needs to be done right?
Good luck!

Good Thursday to everyone except I'm not sure what day it is in Greece right now. I'll have to figure that out some day.
     I've spend the last four hours in bed. Feel like I'm in in a fog after being up all night. Too tired to cook. Had protein fortified cereal with 2 ounces 1% milk Then a protein bar for lunch. No carbs allowed for the rest of the day. Will have a protein drink here in a bit. Did have a small bowl of popcorn with no butter, but boy was it salty
    I usually only weight on Sundays, but I couldn't help it today. I'm down another pound!!!!!  When I lose 12 more pounds I'll be below the weight that 2 different medical personnel said was the lowest I would probably ever go. They are soooo wrong. I can't wait to show them the error of their ways. I don't believe in setting limits on what people can do. People are amazing with what we are able to accomplish. 
      The entire OA meeting yesterday was about honestly telling yourself and someone else about your food intake. That really hit home since that's exactly what we are choosing to do with these posting. Let's keep up the good work. We know this is good for the body, mind and soul. Hugs and thoughts to us,     Mag

I hope you get caught up on your rest very soon. How is your neck feeling?

At the last support group meeting for the group i run, I had my bariatric surgeon as a guest speaker. He too says that total honesty with both ourselves and others is mandatory to our success. We might try to fool ourselves and others, but we can't fool our body!

Congrats on being down another pound. I am still down by the 4 I lost, but haven't taken any more off. Have not been as strict again, and I must get back to it. Not doing terrible, but there is definate room to inprove, especially in the activity and getting in my water department.

Hugs back at ya lady

Hello friends,
   Short and sweet. Still awake. Still can't sleep. There are many reasons I overeat or eat things I know are bad for me. Tired, sad, lonely, angry. I went to Walgreen's to buy a new glucose monitor. My blood sugars were falling by the time I got back in my car. Stopped at McDonald's and bought a grilled chicken salad. The bad thing is I got a sweet drink too. Excuses. I did need to get my sugar up but just a few sips would have been enough. I drank it all. Honesty. Right? Here's to a better today, but I'm doing everything wrong. I've been up all night but have not used the time well. I haven't had a thing to drink since 8PM. My furbaby Little Bit of Sunshine has gone to heaven to be with my Mom and Dad. I'm so very sad, can't sleep, crying. I have not said it before because then I have to face it. I miss him so much. He was old and it was time. Just wish I could sleep and forget.   Mag

First, I apologize that this post will be short. I am having bad vision problems due to my MS. I have done fairly well in the past couple of days food-wise with very small exceptions. Unfortunately, my scale is remaining steady, not showing any results.
More details (I hope) if and when my eyesignt clears up a bit.
