Lisa - your post made total sense to me. I had a mental block when it came to getting under 200, it took me 3 or so weeks longer than I expected and I think a lot of that was mental since I stayed 100% OP the whole time. Once I did, it was fine. I'm kind of facing another one because at 172, I'm at the lowest weight I've been since I can't remember when.
And every time I look in the mirror or walk past a window, I don't see someone who has lost almost 70lbs, I still see the "old" me. It was only last weekend that I finally stopped heading to the biggest sizes in the clothing store - I haven't been those sizes for a long time. In my mind, I think I still see myself as that overweight, unhappy person I was - not the much happier, thinner, stronger person I am now. It's just easier to believe the bad stuff about yourself then believe the good stuff, right? Anyway, I had a rough morning so I'm crashed in bed watching a hockey game. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good afternoon everyone! I am currently rebooting, losing what I have gained in the past year. My first go on IP I never ate artichokes. I received MANY in my bountiful basket today. How do you all cook them?

Welcome back Holly! Sorry, no artichokes on P1.
I hear you all on the unsolicited comments from people. Unfortunately I was at Macy's not long ago and asked the saleswoman where the dress department was. Her response..."plus sizes are upstairs to the left." Burst out crying and ran for the escalator :( |
Smiling while reading today's posts, not because they are amusing, but because it reassures me I am normal. All these things have happened to me & of course, I cursed myself, blamed myself, etc.
and as far as: Calories in = Calories out is BS. I use MyFitnessPal and Fitbit and this past week it had me losing 1.5 lbs and I lost 0.6 lbs. The cal in = cal out is for ideal circumstances, not mid-life women who are hypothyroid. lol. Keep up all the good work, you are all so awesome. The support is so incredible. Have a wonderful day. We have more snow :( |

Especially stressful is knowing you're being watched and the watchers feel they are part of the process (why??) with the right to comment question and comment some more. That unmentionable terror (stress) is enough to make the desire to remain where it's all good...and going the right way a strong subconscious safe place, and barrier to the end of one and beginning of the next chapter. I slowed to a point in August I felt I would not "do it" by my birthday...and almost did not. Yesterday I saw someone I have not seen in over a year...and the conversation made me so uncomfortable...and she could not let it go. It made me realize how much I'm glad those daily encounters and bumping into people are nearly over. Just let me be...I did not mention how gray her hair was or how much she has aged since we last met.....nor would I ever. |

Thanks swimmomma, you have some adorable family members there too! We've had other Rotties before but this one has an extra special spot in our hearts. She is our "baby"
Good luck on you journey! |
ColoradoCarol: IP removed the statement "anything not listed on this sheet must be 0 fat, 0 carbs and 0 sugar" from their latest protocol sheets however many of us still include 2 eggs whites per day as "free" for packet-hacks and certain recipes.

Thanks mckaren I make the pancakes all the time. I love them! But this week I got something new. They are Cereal Flakes. I think they're like corn flakes so I'm thinking I can mush them like the crispy cereal and use them as a coating??!!
