It's been so long, I won't even bother trying to catch up.

Is it possible to eat yourself to death??? If it is, I'm doing it. I feel so sick. My ulcer kept me up again last night despite the medication. I have not accumulated the masses of holiday junk food that I usually do, but there has been enough to keep me munching. I just keep eating, no matter how bad I feel, no matter how much my stomach hurts. The worst part is that it's like I don't even care. My pants are getting o-so-tight again. I am still down 50 pounds from this time last year, but I was down 60...I have gained back 10 pounds, and given myself an ulcer and gall bladder problems. Yet, I still don't seem to care enough to stop.
Has anyone else been here??? Eating themselves to death?? I don't know what to do. No. Not true. I guess I know what to do, but just don't care to do it. But I hate feeling sick all the time too. What is wrong with me?? Anybody know???

Please don't give up. There is nothing wrong with you.Sometimes we get in a slump,I know how you feel. Drink plenty of water and try to stay op. I hope your stomach will get better soon. Are you going to have to have surgery? Do you eat salad? That will fill you up. Hugs Hugs

Thanks for the words of encouragement Mary. I don't know if I need surgery or not. I don't have insurance so I threw a fit about going to the ER. The ER doctor told me I needed to see a specialist. I told him I would have insurance in February and would call the specialist then. The ER doc said I should NOT wait that long. What else can I do?? I'll just keep taking the medication and try to hold on I guess. I got the ER bill today and it just about put me back in the hospital!!
Anyhoo, I did go out and buy two heads of lettuce and some dressing to eat. Hope I will actually eat it.
Gotta go for now, but wanted to say THANKS!!

Jen.... {{{{ HUGS }}}}

I think most of us know how you feel. I have said this before but I will repeat it. I had lost 33lbs then last year during xmas and new years I started cheating a little here and a little there. Nothing major.
Before I knew it... I had started eatting too much again too. I not only gained back my 33lbs, I also gained 15 on top of that to put me at my ALL TIME high weight.

But I did NOT give up. I kept posting here , trying to gain back my recovery. It took untill Oct this year to get it back... but I am even STRONGER than before now. I respect my recovery now. I cherish it. I am making a comeback and SO CAN YOU !!!! Don't give up girl.

I wish I had a solution for your other health problems. My heart goes out to you. If I can find a letter that I read that helped me I will copy it and send it to you. Hopefully it will help you too.

One thing that will help but it will be hard to do... is meditation.
Not sitting crossed legged and humming chants.
More like "relaxation". Taking DEEP breaths in.... then blowing them out through the mouth. In through the nose... out through the mouth.
After you do that 2-3 times then think as you continue breathing....."breathe in relaxation"... "blow out all frustration." In relaxation... out all frustration.
I know this may sound stupid... but it works if you keep practicing it.
It is like all things in life. You have to work at it till it becomes natural.
Please try it. Do it MANY TIMES throughout the day and night.
Not just once or twice.

I will be thinking of you. In fact... I will breathe with you.
Every hour on the hour I will deep breathe with you.
In relaxation... out all frustration. That way you are never alone. You will know I am there with you in spirit.
It will help if you do it...promise.

The bad news is... now I don't have to time to post here too. I have been on this computer toooooo longgggg especialy since I have soooo much to do before xmas.

Just know ...
I love you all.
I am still determined to stick to my program.
And I am sorry I don't have time to post more.

Thumbs down just starting out

First of all, I want to send a big thank you to Jen, for inviting me here. I'm not exactly the most sociable person, and her response to my post made me feel great. Although I'm sorry to hear you are having some health problems. I haven't really put that much effort into dieting, but have spent years and years and years in various states of depression, and some of that stuff sounds very familiar. You should try that breathing thing....it is very helpful. My infintessimally small contribution to feeling better is to take little baby steps....something a shrink once told me...she suggested that if I couldn't handle the next week of crap coming up, then settle for the next few days...if that was too much, just get through the next day only. Most people can at least get through the next few minutes, and build from there. I know, not much help. I'll keep trying. But that theory works for me and housework (yuk).
I've read some of the posts in here, and it seems as though there are some very caring people in here who have been through a lot. I'm not over 300, but I am at least 70 lbs. overweight and am finally doing something about it. I'm at home all day with just me, my German Shepherd, and my two cats, and I can't stand exercise. I'm as lazy as they come. I sat in bed and thought about it last night, and it occured to me that as long as I'm sitting here typing, I'm not in the kitchen eating ( I can't stand having food around my computer, so I don't eat here.)
I will warn anyone reading this that I have a strange sense of humor, and hope its not offensive to anyone. If it is, just let me know and I'll shut up.
I'll post again after I get some stuff done, and share with you some of the pearls of wisdom I've accumulated since yesterday.
God Bless.

HOLYMOLY!! I'm so glad you decided to come here and post!! Like I said, I've been a bit of a flake about posting lately, but am REALLY making an effort to get in here more often.
I totally know what you mean about the exercise. I just HATE it. I did really well earlier on in the year. I stuck with tae-bo for almost four months, then got waaay bored with it. I tried other things, but didn't care for any of them. I don't like to sweat....yuk. To tell you the truth, (and I guess this is another excuse) but I'm not going to try until after christmas. I won't put it off as long as New Years day, but I am going to blow it off until the day after christmas. It's only a few days away. Then I'll jump in with renewed motivation.....I hope.
Anyhoo, I'm glad you popped in. Hang in there if things are a little slow in here for a few days. The holidays keep everyone busy. I'll talk to ya later,
Jen

Hey everyone!

I had the most terrific weekend! Everything was so much fun. We all shopped so much my sister had to buy an extra suitcase to bring it all home. I even found a couple of great things for myself. I'm not all that great at treating myself, so this was extra fun for me. One item was a beautiful Mikasa crystal bowl for only $13. The other was a really cute fleece robe, hood and all, for $17. I can't buy the material for that amount!

The ballet was fun, but the dressing up part was even better. You would have been so proud of me. My hair was up, evening makeup on, gorgeous dress, the works. If the pictures come out, I'll have to post one up somewhere.

We skipped the comedy club and went to a sneak preview of Kate and Leopold instead. The best way to describe the movie is as a MUST SEE! If you are into chick flicks at all, you are going to love this one. We also went to see Vanilla Sky. Hrrrmmm.... Not sure if I can recommend it or not. I do know I'll have to see it a couple more times minimum to work it all out in my head. The movie jerked you around on all sorts of levels. One moment I felt like crying, the next was all warm and fuzzy, then there were moments of total confusion and frustration.

Returning home was great. Returning to work was odd. Walking into the building, I was afraid I had been fired or something. Ever had that feeling? Well, before I had been on the clock two minute, the manager lets me know that my hours have to be cut back to 3 a day. OUCH!!! I told him honestly that I would have to quit, and he has managed to hold off the cut hours until at least January 1. I'll be hunting for a half day job at top speed and will hopefully be taken care of by that time.

Another good thing to return to was finding out that I've been chosen to write an opinion column for the newspaper! Tomorrow I'll find out more of what is expected of me. This could be lots of fun if I don't manage to offend the entire population of Southern Utah.

My DH had 3 days off this last weekend and evidently spent most of it playing computer games, so there is a lot to be done here. In other words, I can't spend much more time online. I did want to let you all know that I kept to my word and drank lots more water than normal when I'm traveling. I also managed to stop eating before finishing everything in front of me. Really hard considering some of the incredible restaurants we went to. At one place I even had the server box up half my meal and then I gave it to our friend to take home. Better than having it sitting there in the hotel room tempting me! Within 24 hours of returning home I dared to get on the scales, and they say the same as before. Wahoo for me!

I'll try to do some real catching up with you all tomorrow. I did manage to read all the posts, at least. Lots of good stuff going on here, plus 3 new people. Welcome!!!

Andria

Default Welcome Holymoly !!!

Let me start by welcoming HolyMoly. We are so glad you chose to join us. Jen was correct though. This is a busy time for everyone so there may not be as many posting as usual. But keep writing because someone will be here everyday.
I see we have a lot in common.
Hate to exercise and hate to clean house.
That description applys to most of us here.

Mary... I see you are two ahead of me. Not only you have your gifts bought... you have then delivered also. Way to be on top.

Andria...I am so excited for you. Writing your own opinion column.
I would love to write little short columns but not my opinion. LOL
I would rather write little short stories about my life. LOL
I have tons of funny stories about me and my family. I think everyone probably does. Did I tell you the one about....... LOL
Be sure to give us the website so we can all go there and read them.
I am glad to see you had such a wonderful trip. I can't wait to see the photos.

Well I am leaving in the morning to go see my daughter that is not home yet. I am spending the night so I won't be here for a couple of days. I will miss all of you.
Someone be sure to start a new thread when this gets to 28-29.
Anyone can do it. Make up your own greeting if you don't know how to copy and paste.

I am sorry to announce that I did a LOT of baking today and I licked the spoons and ate a few items I did not plan on eatting. I DID NOT eat but a few. That is good. I don't feel bad. I would just have felt better if I had not eatten any. Another good thing is.... It wasn't all that good anymore. Stuff I used to love I thought ..."that isn't worth it anymore". I am happy about that.

Have a wonderful Thankful Thursday and a FUN Friday.
I am thankful that I am going to see my daughters home all decorated for Xmas. I am thankful that we will have a lot of fun together... we always do.
I will see all of you in a few days. Happy Holidays

Thumbs down Holymoly and the Tramp

Good morning, everyone!!!!

Its a beautiful day in my neighborhood.....wait a minute, that sounds like a song.....hmmmm...lol.
Thanks a bunch, 2cute, you sound like a very upbeat person, as do the rest of the people here. That makes things a whole lot nicer. I've found that a positive mental attitude is the first step to losing weight. Of course it took a lot of therapy and antidepressants to get to that conclusion, but its better than not figuring it out at all.
Anyway, I thought I'd share a few things I've learned in the last couple of days, my pearls of wisdom if you will.
The first thing I learned, is water, water, water. I see it in a lot of posts and articles I read about its importance. I also learned there is no magic pill or program that can take the place of exercise, so I finally got out my old mini-tramp and put it to use. (oh, and on the subject of using a mini-tramp, I also learned that an exercise bra is definitely a required piece of equipment. lol) I also learned that Bon Jovi is a most excellent choice for jogging music. I also like contemporary christian music, but most of the songs I like are a bit too slow to exercise to.
I learned that if you ask your three kids the proper way to do a crunch, you'll get three different answers. (and on that subject, I also figured out that if you're going to do floor exercises in your living room, make sure you bring a bottle of cleaner and a rag with you, because you'll soon find out what your 10-yr-old son has been sticking to the underside of the coffee table...lol)
And the last one for the time being is that I learned that I have no rhythm whatsoever. I find a lot of aerobic tapes very frustrating because its almost like dancing, and even though I don't have any problem with rhythm when playing music, I can't dance for beans.
I, too, will be gone for several days starting Friday. Our family is driving to Oklahoma to visit the in-laws. They don't have a computer, so its going to be a little withdraw issue going on, but they are good people, so I don't mind. I wish everyone the happiest of holidays.
"would you be mine, could you be mine, won't you be my neighbor." I knew that sounded familiar. lol

God Bless, Holymoly

Default Surprise !!!!

Surprise !!! I have moved the time I am leaving back a few hours. My daughter could not get off work so I figured I would stay home and put my priorities in order.
#1 priority is my new WOL (way of life). That meant I got up early and went and did my water exercising. Then ate a healthy breakfast rather than fast foods on the run.
#2 priority....feed my mind healthy thoughts as well as my body healthy food. That is where all of you come in. You help me keep my thinking on the right track.
#3 priority....do one thing I have procrastinated. I have not folded clothes for over a week. I better get my hubby something to wear while I am gone. Otherwise all the ladies may be after his nude body.

I am a great aunt today!!!! My niece had a bouncing baby boy this morning. 7lb 14oz. They are sooo happy.
I hope my son gets to have a baby boy too. So far 2 girls. Girls are GREAT... but he is such an outdoorsman it would be nice to have a son too.

Holymoly...where in OK are you going? I am very familar with OK. Where are you from.?? My daughter goes to O.U. in Norman, OK
NOW you tell me about an exercise bra!!!! I wish I knew that before I started with Richard Simmons... I got TWO black eyes not knowing. And as far as crunches..... the only crunches this old lady does is... Hershey Crunches, preferably with almonds. LOL If I ever got down on the floor... I would NEVER be able to get back up. LOL

Well fellow fat fighters...LOL ... I am off to be productive. I am glad I got to stop in again before I left for my daughters. I am Thankful too.
Here is a tip that I forgot to share on Tuesday Tips.

Thanks for the great tip 2Cute. I will remember that when it snows here, which might be Saturday.

I haven't been a very good poster because I can't seem to stop rushing around getting ready for Christmas.

I know that I just started posting here and I promise I will be better in the future. Probably just some "quickies" until after I get more organized or Christmas is over - whichever comes first.

Hello, everyone,

2cute, going to choctaw, just east of midwest city. couldn't take the tornadoes anymore. lol.

i exercised. i drank water. i got a major gutache. thats life. lol

the exercise gave me a little extra energy, so i got my house cleaned, which is a nice change.

the water made me feel full, so i didn't eat as much

i think the next step is to find some kind of food program or something cause i'm totally winging it here. no plan whatsoever.

gotta get off here. The Pretender is waiting for me in the living room, and me and my daughter NEVER miss him. lol.

Have a great evening, and God bless.
