Good morning!
I am sitting here, my blood pressure is low, I am dizzy, I think I got a major PMS and I am still waiting for the thunderstorm and the cooler weather the weather forecast promised us for yesterday.And the day before yesterday. And the day before the day.....Finally I am fed up with the weather man saying "Hey, tomorrow will be the hottest day in this summer!" EACH **** NIGHT! You know, I have a plan, I am motivated, just my body and brain are out of order. ANYWAY. Canīt change it. I am still binge free! :carrot: But i look like I gained a lot of weight. Maybe PMS (ok, not maybe, I hope itīs PMS. Otherwise I have no idea why I should have gained weight...) LeaLee: Iīll keep my fingers crossed that your bank will give you their ok!! MelKnee: Congratulations!! princess197113: ahh, PMS week...I know how you feel! Interesting (or maybe not, but I am writing it down anyway): I am suffering from the PCO syndrom. Since I am binge free, my eating behaviour is more in control and I am exercising, I get my period regularly (not every 6- 12 month as it was before). But at the moment I think itīs always a week before TOM, TOM itself or short after TOM. Two out of four weeks are more or less PMSy....not nice. Elizabeth: Congratulations on letting your binge beast in the cage!! Interesting, it seems to run in familys: my scale monster (the bad and ugly cousin of your binge beast) is behaving really awful as well. ;) He is trying to temped me....you have to weighed yourself, you have to weigh yourself...NO, I DON`T HAVE TO! I am doing a lot of strengthening exercises to be able to crash my scla monster on binge beasts head properly- you know, hit one, destroy two. Oh, a stomach should have a Full- lever?? That piece seems to be missing in my body....Sometimes I even have to use the clock to figure out if I am hungry, like in: "Hey, I am dizzy! Itīs been (one, two three...good that we have enough fingers to calculate) 4 hours without food. Hey, maybe I am hungry!!" Hope everyone is having a nice day! Kate |
crap lost my post. will come back later ;)

Hi Everybody! :wave:
Yesterday, I was plagued with thoughts of food.....oh, what can I eat, I want to eat, oh, give me a snack...........ALL day long! I stayed under 1700calories, but I grazed :moo: almost constantly on low calorie stuff. I HATE those evil food thoughts!!!! After my surgery, those persistent food thoughts went away for a couple of weeks. It was sooooooooo INCREDIBLE to not have food on the brain constantly! I guess that is how "normal" people are?!?!? Hmmmm....I'm feeling :p which is NOT normal for me!! Must be that dreaded PMS.....:devil: .........growl, hiss, snarl...........sorry for the attitude! My poor DH is in for it!!! hahahaha *evil laugh* Melknee~:cp: :dance: :hat: :bravo: :dancer: WTG on remaining binge-free for Mon & Tues!!!! You CAN do this!!! I'm so glad that 3FC gives you incentive to remain binge-free! :hug: Lealee~:woo: :balloons: :woo:Congratulations on your NEW HOME!!!! That is such a GREAT feeling!!! Have you taken millions of pictures yet?? I did that when we bought our house.....even before closing--with the sellers OK! I took pictures of every room so I could decide on furniture placement and decorating ideas....like how many curtains I needed, rugs, etc... You are forgetting to eat?!?!?! :p I'll send my binge-beast over for a visit to your new home if you'd like??? :fr: Maybe not, he's not house broken! Kate~:hug: Sounds like you're having a rough time, with the evil hot weather! Your blood pressure is low and you are dizzy? Are you drinking enough water.......especially after exercising and being in the HOT weather? Dehydration can make the blood pressure drop and make you feel lousy. Please make sure you are drinking enough......maybe even a sports drink to replace your electrolytes (sodium, potassium) if you are sweating a lot. Princess~I'm glad you survived PMS! Since it seems to be afflicting so many of us, I though I'd share a funny post from general chatter....posted by 707Goddess THE MANY MEANINGS OF PMS ... 1.Pass My Shotgun 2.Psychotic Mood Shift 3.Perpetual Munching Spree 4.Puffy Mid-Section 5.People Make me Sick 6.ProvideMe with Sweets 7.Pardon My Sobbing 8Pimples May Surface 9.Pass My Sweatpants 10.Pissy Mood Syndrome 11.Plainly; Men Suck 12.Pack My Stuff ...and my favorite one.. 13.Potential Murder Suspect I hope everyone has a good, violence-free day....growl....hahahaha |
Yes Elizabeth we took pictures of the house...the online listing showed one angle and I took pics from 3 more angles hehe...Only today looking at it noticed carved grapes in the fireplace mantle on each side :) so cute.... Yesterday when signing the contract I asked her to take me and a friend of mine down to see it so I spent another 45 minutes walking through the rooms and dreaming! One bathroom (the kids/guest bathroom) has yellow tiles, toilet, and tub and my kids LOVE it they tell everyone WE HAVE A YELLOW TOILET AND TUB!!!! They love it because they want that cute rubber ducky bathroom stuff from walmart in there and it will be perfect!
We are approved for our loan WOO HOO we got that news today we just have to show proof that we are making improvements to MY credit history...Hubbys was fine but mine had some marks on it...was on the phone for over an hour today with these companies arranging payment plans for bills that i never got statements for...Can't pay them if i don't get a bill!!! We close on August 31 or sooner :) I CAN"T WAIT!!! We sign loan papers on Monday or Tuesday and our house goes on the market tomorrow. I go daily (sometimes more) to the web link to the house listing to look at the house....I just look at each room and dream dream dream.... NOOOO no bingie beasties here!! bad enough we are gonna have a 7 month old stubborn UNHOUSEBROKEN poodle in the house :eek: and the house has WHITE berber carpet in the bedrooms and hallways :eek: :eek: OK not eating good at all...just grab something that i can eat while cleaning this place up for selling.. in fact that is what im doing now as I type this...Im eating haha OK I have to go rid the dreaded bookshelf of all clutter...this could get ugly !! |
Sharon...fantastic news! Congrats!
Ive have been unbelievabley good this past 2 weeks...eating clean seriously scary. Did have a blip in my radar today,,,just ate something I shouldn't of, but had the foresight to buy 50% less fat. I don't know what kind of mood Im in,,,ever walk around feeling close to tears but you really don't know why? Thats me right now,,,shocked so far that I haven't went nuts and binged. Ive just started a new job almost 2 weeks ago,,,Im exhausted, I hate meeting new people that I know Im stuck with for hours each day. Specially if they aren't someone I would not hang out with normally. I feel like its an uphill battle.... need to go for a walk and have a good cry,,, |
Awww Angelia...I have had those days as well..A good sad song or movie does the trick for me...
Tonight I am TIRED..I started cleaning clutter from closets and cleaning toy boxes since the kid's rooms are a little smaller in the new house they need to thin down their toys. Gonna go finish up Jonathan's room now and then eat a lil something with my meds and go to sleep.......Stay bingie free tomorrow ladies :) Oh and my scales today said 130!!! Pre preg weight with Ally!!!! I just wish it wasn't because I haven't been eating a whole lot...gonna do better tomorrow though. Nite Ladies |
hi everyone
wow i was annoyed when i typed a long post yday and lost it GRRRR ok good news. no bingeing so that's 5 days INCREDIBLE. honestly the best i've done for a long time. have had some unhealthy food but all ok. today is potential binge. i'm having a few drinkies right now and that lowers my inhibitions so a binge is possible but it's okay i have reason to celebrate :cb: things are coming together on my court case. we have the hearing mon-wed next week and it's pretty nerve wracking. also i have been organising to have stuff done around the house. i feel optimistic about it now i have seen all the evidence. fingers crossed it works out ok sharon is that your first house? lovely that you have found a place you love :p angelia. do you think you might be depressed? it might be something to look into. i find regular walking helps my depression, also time outside in the sun and my adorable pets. please try not to be upset about a binge. that's behind you now. just try and focus on doing something nice for yourself today and getting back on track elizabeth - what op are you talking about? believe me i know what you mean about cravings. i'm not allowed to mention the foods here but my brain is buzzing with all the things i'd like to eat and sometimes it's hard to see a reason to stop myself. |
Hello everybody!
I am still here, still binge free- and the weather is a bit colder today. Colder means around 90F. And I have a major PMS. It hurts, I am feeling lousy and my mood is......canīt decide if i would like to run around and shout or cry. Elizabeth: I LOVE your explainations of PMS!! For me, PMS basically means "Puffy middle section". And yes, I am not drinking enough water (got me...). But I will do today!! I take a water bottle with me, that makes it easier to drink enough. Sharon: CONGRATULATIONS!!! Hey, a house with yellow toilets, decorated with rubber ducky bathroom stuff- call my childish, but thatīs really cute! da fat n da furious: :hug: I know such strange moods...Maybe you have to give in a little...What helps for me sometimes is to allow myself to have such a mood, and have a good cry, listen to sad music, curl up in the bed..whatever. Do something to let it out. Everybody is having bad days sometimes. But if this mood stays with longer than a few days, it could be, under certain circumstances, maybe something like a depression. So if it stays longer and it gets more and more severe, I would consider visiting a doctor. sweat_pea: Congratulations to your binge free days :carrot: ! Hope everyone is having a nice day! Kate |
hey all,
Sharon, good for you! pre pregnancy weight and a house...Good for you on both. When we moved to this house I had to get rid of about a quarter of our stuff cause this house is so much smaller then our old house. Sweat_Pea...nah I know what depression is,,,this is just a moment, Im tired, its hot out, and with a new job.... so many people, different personalities, and I have never worked in that type of enviroment before. And ya know some people like to pull rank....in a nasty way. I don't take to rude behavior so it was like day 4 and I was having to fight back at a new job! I work in the switch board/reception. My main job is to answer the phone and transfer to whom ever it belongs to. My job gets pretty boring,,,if the phones don't ring. Seriously I sit and do nothing. I send out emails to my old job (friends there) Ive read all the business mags. Yesterday I went on to the MSN front page,,,read the news. Someone must of saw cause everyone *got* an email about no internet cause it interfers with work....not my work. But of course I have to follow company polocies. Feel weird about bringing a book to read. Maybe Im just going through a PMS even though I don't get TOMs any longer. I do remember how that felt...feels like it. |
Mother visted today, and helped with some gardening. I gave her lunch and dinner. My cravings were strong earlier tonight but i managed to stop myself and now i think i'm fine - will have to hang tough ;) i am still BF!!! yippee
I'm going to go to bed soon and hopefully forget about food. it was very sunny here today but it is freezing tonight. not literally freezing. just by my standards. i'm a wuss. i don't like cold weather at all:( Today I went to the second hand book sale. It's a big charity event and they have a warehouse of books supercheap. Wow what a lot of bargain hunters they were pushing and shoving. Most people were polite but there were a lot of men determined to get bargains and leaning all over me and putting boxes of their books where people couldn’t get around them. Some people would have taken > 100 books. I got about 15 mainly self help books, a couple of books on quotes to use in speeches and writing etc. I also ended up buying duplicates of some of my books because I realised when I was there that someone has half a dozen of my books and still hasn't returned them. I've sent her an email telling her to return them!!! we were quite good friends but she was being really rude about a mutual friend and complaining about her and i started to wonder what she said behind my back :o also i didn't think what she was saying about our friend was justified! anyway it was a good day but i'm cold and tired so off to bed angelia ~ okay boredom and settling into a new environment etc etc can definitely take a toll on you. i wonder what you can do if you're not allowed to use the net? maybe you could ask if there is some typing or something you can do? don't really know what the job is like. i know what you mean about reading books. if i was working and i saw someone sitting there reading i'd get cross and resent them. it can be a bad look. and it sounds like your company would not be happy about it. ummm sit there and visualise being on a beach holding a drink with an umbrella in it :) kate - well done on staying binge free :cb: |
i now have 8 days BF
Today I have been prettifying myself ready for tomorrow’s big day. I washed my hair, cut my fringe (crooked), plucked my eyebrows. I tell you it’s worse than my first date ritual I wasn’t too good today. I had a headache so I took a nap this afternoon and ate a superhealthy dinner. I plan to do a bit of tidying and get everything ready for tomorrow. My food pens and paper, water, choose clothes, polish my shoes. All those fun things wish me luck in court. i testify in just over 12 hours. eeek nerves are definitely starting to get to me. i am running late. i hoped to have everything ready by now so i could relax |
Hi everybody!
I am sitting here with a major PMS (he, I have MAJOR PMS here and Lt. TOM- I am in the Army now!) and I learned two things: 1. DON`T TANGO WITH YOUR BINGE BEAST! Yes, I was a bit too anti- authoritarian with my binge beast. Fortunately I was able to stop it before my furry friend knocked me out and ran to the next supermarket, but it was close. Too close. I was a bit too secure that I could handle it, I was playing around. No good idea. I am still binge free somehow, but I lost a bit control yesterday night. 2. Drinking the wrong water can make you puffy I wondered why I was gained weight out of nowhere (not during PMS). I was suspecting that my body was holding back water. And it actually does! I watched the Tele- Doctor today and he explained it. If you are sweating a lot, your body looses electrolytes. Your body needs water to refill the electrylyte depots. But if you only drink water without elektrolytes (like the water out of the water pipe), your body holds back the water and stores it. If you are drinking water with electrolytes, you body take the things it needs and let the rest go. Well, guess what kind of water I am drinking in the last weeks.....Now I know that my body is really holding back water, that this makes you puffy and this could be a reason for mysterious weight gain. sweat_pea: Good luck!! :hug: Hope everyone is having a nice day!

Hi Everybody! :wave:
I've found a good way to sedate my binge beast! Feeding it low carbs! I've tried a modified atkins, with a bit more veggies and NO fruit. Amazingly, my binge beast seems to have fallen into a coma! :carrot: I was going :crazy: trying to :boxing: my beast! Kate~I'm glad you've figured out the cause of your puffiness. Please, be aware, that electrolyte imbalances can do far more damage than cause puffiness. The first CPR I ever gave was to my neighbor ( a 32y.o. nurse) who had passed out after drinking TONS of water after doing heavy exercise on a very hot day. She didin't replace the sodium (salt) and became hyponatremic (low sodium). This put her into a coma for 2 weeks---fortunately her son was home and came and got me so I could do CPR because her heart had stopped. I'm not trying to scare you--this is extreme and most people do NOT get to this point---she was sweating for hours and drank over a gallon of water! I just want you to be careful! I had mentioned, previously, about maybe drinking sports drinks--which have electrolytes. The problem with those things (like Gatorade) is that they are FULL of sugar as well as the important sodium and potassium. I searched for a sugar free sports drink and couldn't find it. I caculated the sodium and potassium contained in an average sports drink and started making my dh a sugar free mix which is cheaper and very easy. Please PM me if you are interested in the recipe and information. Sorry this is soooo long. CONGRATS on staying binge-free! Yay you!!! Sweetpea~:bravo: :cp: :bravo: on your 8 DAYS of binge-free success!!!!I knew you could do this!!!!! Especially impressive considering the STRESS you are under with the pending litigation! :hug: Good luck on your case! I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a very good outcome! defatndafurious~:hug: I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time with a new work scene! I HATE starting new jobs! Bleck! :p Especially if there are jerkos working there! I have usually found that most people are wonderful once you get to know them---it just takes a little time. People "pulling rank" are usually just insecure, imo. Good luck! Lealee~ WTG on achieving your prepreg. weight! :carrot: :cb: :carrot: AND on acquiring your dream home!!!! You deserve BOTH and lots of happiness! :hug: |
Thank you Elizabeth :)
We celebrated with family yesterday and I don't wanna THINK of the food I ate!! I also bought my first decoration for the new house :) Sweat Pea WTG!!! And this is actually our second house We are buying the one we live in now but when our "dream" house from this town went on the market we couldnt pass it up..now we owe on 2 mortgages until this house we live in now sells.....hard but in the end will be more than worth it for our forever home.... OK recovering from yesterday now...I think the last thing we ate was dessert at like 12pm..no alcoholic stuff...just death by desserts hehe.... |
Juhu, binge- free Sunday!! :carrot:
