NSV- while looking through pinterest and seeing all the recipes my friends have posted I was thinking "not interested," "too sweet," "too rich"... Then I realized a week ago I would have repinned every single one of those. They don't even tempt anymore!

Good morning!! Quick question.....does anyone else eat their snack between lunch and dinner? I think that I end up eating to late and it is preventing some weight loss???

GreenIris- Grayling.. hmmm... is that far from Traverse City? I went there last year for the first time and loved it. I'm relatively new to Michigan (been here two years, moved from the east coast) and live in Ann Arbor. Nice to see another Michigander on here!

I started dieting at 12 years old....I am now 47. I have wasted many years feeling guilty, embarrassed, ashamed....even though I feel like this, part of me wants to fail & that scares me.
I know this is more then "about the food" and I have a difficult time talking to a psychologist...cause I say whatever needs to be said...so I'm not really helping myself
I decided to see a therapist who does CranialSacral Therapy. I found it very interesting.Through this experience, I discovered that, whatever I'm feeling, I ALWAYS turn it around to the positive, therefore, I am not feeling it. Does that make any sense????
I've always thought I was a great communicator. Oh yes, I get stuff out...but rather then sitting with the uncomfortable feelings I instantly analyze it, think of the lesson that is being taught to me and spin it around into something positive.
I know that having a positive attitude is "key" but I find that my extremely positive attitude is only allowing me to surface clean and sweep everything else under the carpet (so to speak). If I don't sweep under the carpet, the weight will eventually creep back on.
Oh gosh, I hope someone understands me and I'm not just babbling incoherently

I just learned how to use these things...
Here in Billings we are REALLY SMOKEY! It looks terrible out...just a thick haze over the city from all the forest fires in the region. So we must have gotten the smoke from you

Despite a day 1 cheat last week--see previous post about Zac from Zac Brown band offering me a drink (Jack and DC)--I am down another 1.4lbs.

A few NSVs:
1.I am wearing a size 6 dress today that I haven't been able to fit into for years...and it is loose on top!
2. My local Shop Rite sells WF tomato basil and garlic herb pasta sauces AND I found fresh rhubarb there as well!!!

I started going back to the gym last week...my body fat % has not changed for a few weekS. What is with that? Any solutions to see it budge?
Don't exercise too much. I have found that too much exercise can actually affect your losses. So eating protein is more important than exercise to lose fat. Sometimes an extra egg white or two a day helps. It did me.

Today is my last day on phase 2...tomorrow I start eating a breakfast. I have raspberries from my garden that I froze, knowing that some day I would be able to enjoy them.

The good news is that I lost a total of 5 lbs during the 2 weeks of phase 2. I was amazed, but I guess since you are still in ketosis, it stands to reason.

Coach says there will be a slight gain in phase 3 but not in fat...glycogen stores, which carry water molecules...So for every glycogen that is stored in the liver, there are 3 H2O molecules. So that is usually what the gain is attributed to. I loved biochemistry in college. So I really get into this stuff!

Happy Monday, everyone. Stay OP!

Hi djs06,
As GreenIris knows, I'm a part time Michigander. Born and raised there, gone for many years, but have a house on a lake about 45 miles south of GreenIris, which we are on the other side of the state from Traverse City. Hope to retire there real soon. We drive up US 23 right by Ann Arbor when we come up.

Welcome to IP. Follow the plan and you'll do great. I'm having success with losing for the first time in almost 50 years of dieting.

Good morning, all. working from home while my torn tendon heals. This week is Employee Appreciation and they have all kinds of things going on at work, so my boss gave me permission to not work "as hard." So, I'm trying to catch up on my forum reading.

Have a great OP day.
Molly

Delgen - P3 already!?! That is awesome!!!! Congratulations to you!

djs06 - about 45 minutes east of Traverse City, on I-75. And a belated Welcome to MI!

vwbunny - I eat my snack between lunch & dinner. Lunch is usually 11:30 - noon, snack about 4, and supper around 7. If I know I'll have supper earlier, I'll have my snack later in the evening.

Employee appreciation...hmmm sounds like fun. The only employee appreciation we have at my work now is that we should feel appreciation that they gave us paycuts instead of laying us off.

I need a new job!

Wow, this really jumped out at me. I have suffered from chronic depression for as long as I can remember, and have found that unless I just plow ahead and make the best of things and think positive, it's just too hard. Just today, I was talking my walk, musing to myself and I thought about how many of my friends are so disgusted with the state of the world and all the screwed up stuff in it, and I think, yes, all of that is true, but I can not expend all of my energies thinking about it and I'm no good to anybody if I can't keep myself going and if that takes my little bubble of love, then so be it. I don't ignore the crap, but I choose to look at life through a prism of love. I know... that sounds corny...

When it comes to the personal thoughts, that really comes out with this weight stuff. All the years of self-loathing, memories of cruel things people have said and I internalized. I bet we've all been there. Not truly seeing ourselves in the mirror because the truth is too painful. I've said it before, my body 'then' was a prison that I could not seem to break out of. Now that I am free of it, reinventing, re-everything about myself, I know that with what is left of my life, I will never go back to that prison. I'm 59 now, but I'm not going to spend one second regretting the past - just not worth it. All those cruel people and society thinking it is okay to hurt fat people can go jump in the lake, and that is as polite as I can make it.

I would just keep talking and talking and writing all you can. The 'real' feelings will come out eventually and you will heal yourself of all that lousy pain so you can embrace this bright new future you are building for yourself.

I am fascinated by cranial-sacral therapy - tell us how it goes. I'd love to hear more about what happens and how it helps.

Good luck!

Margaret

Good morning everybody ! Rise and shine !

It's getting cool here too. I slept in my robe last night because I was cold, but I didn't want to close the windows. Too delicious having the fresh air...

Not much to report here. Have had some more tests done to diagnose/treat the gallstones and pancreas problems. Don't know the results yet. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have another attack.

Need to get my butt in gear and clean the house, vacuum up the mud I've tracked in on my boots with the wet weather. Get back to my nephews quilt. General putzing around....

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday and cook something scrumptious!

Margaret
