Lisa- very common- what you are suffering from is withdrawal from the carbs.  This will pass in a couple of days- and you will feel better.... honest.. lol

 I would ask your boss to move the chocolates or face the 'Rath of Lisa'!!

I have to be totally honest.  I am afraid to eat! 

I am addicted.  Once I give myself a little wiggle room, I will not stop.  I can't stop.  I can't control myself and I have been lying to myself, telling myself that I can.

At this point, I would rather do without than to let that door of temptation open again.  I have got to "get my mind right" before I can go to any of the foods that I feel might trigger my super-indulgence.

I know that sounds so crazy, but that is how I feel right now.

PS - don't soy crisps have carbs in them? 

Oh, and soy crisps - for the salty/crunchy.  And Emerald brand cocoa roast almonds - those things are heaven!!!  They're covered with cocoa powder, NOT chocolate.  YUM-O!!  And REALLY good chopped up in Greek yogurt.

Yanno, we have this conversation every year at Christmas, VD and Easter about your office.  MAKE them move the crap!!!  Seriously.  If they know you had wls and that it kills you to eat it, and they're still doing it, that's just plain rude!!!!

Weekends are hard for me, too.  Okay, for your salty/crunchy, get some turkey pepperoni, put them on a papertowel lined planed and nuke for about 1 minute.  Voila - pepperoni chips!!!!!  For the sweet/chocolatey, get yourself some Pure Protein bars.  When you go out, cut the bars in bite sized pieces and put them in a baggie with some cashews.

It's imperative that you stay on top of this or the bass turd carbs WILL win.  I know, because they beat me up every day.  But I'm like one of those inflatable bopping bags, I keep bouncing up!!!!

I KNOW it's hard and I KNOW it's frustrating, but you have to.  For you.  For Larry and the kids.  And for me - because I NEED you in my life for a long time!!!

LY,

P.S. And increase your fluids!!!!

So far, so good for me!!!  My scale is showing -3 pounds since Wednesday, so I'm very happy about that!!!  The weekends are REALLY tough for me, but I'm determined to get closer to goal.  I try to be realistic - after 5 years out, I don't know that I'll ever reach goal, but any number closer to that is a success!!!

Here's what I ate yesterday:

B - Protein coffee
      Greek yogurt with blueberries/granola

L - Chicken salad
     6 Triscuits

D - 1 meatball and the insides of half a cold cut sub

S - Skim milk with Splenda

150 oz. of fluid and all my vits!!!

Have a great weekend!
