I remember those days... looking at the booth and hoping I would fit. I think these days I feel especially thinner when I am sitting in a booth and seeing how much room there is between me and the table. I think our real challenge as we get closer to goal is not the diet, but the images and memories we still have in our head of our old selves.

I'm so glad I have a place that I can come to to talk about these things, as no one in my life was as heavy as I was, so they can't relate totally. Thanks guys!! :grouphug:

We have a great group of people on here to come to talk too. I love it here, when I can't read it I am lost in my day. I have to check on everyone....lol....My son always laughs at me when we go out to eat and sit in a booth cuz I am always pushing the table to make my side bigger....he is like MOM...what are you doing? and I look at him and say what?....oh yea, I forgot....lol....then I get in the booth normal and still have room....Changes everything around you now.

I am leaving to go to mom's until Monday, we have a family reunion on Sunday. I haven't seen some in a couple of years and others last saw me in Sept so they will all be a little shocked....haha....Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Yay Jelly, so glad that worked for you. I'm thinking of trying something cause its going to be another low loss for me this week. Were you scared? I'm always so scared to do something out of my routine.

Jelly, I'm glad the restricted did something for ya!! I always thought if it hadn't been for Mexico I would have probably done the same thing. You're achieving the same result with the comfort of eating the IP foods...:)

So very HAPPY for you! :)


MAY the 4th be with you all!

That's great. So you are only eating restricted foods for all of your meals, or for breakfast, lunch and your snack? Breaking into a new decade is always the best feeling. I hope to be able to say the same thing tomorrow.

I wish everyone continued success. :encore:

I had written an incredibly inspiring post...twice...and DH's iPad ate it both times. Grrrrrr.

Note to the Universe - I will no longer fear booths in restaurants. Go pick on someone else!

JellyMae87 05-04-2012 07:32 PM

I did breakfast, lunch and snack. All bars... I was not scared at all. I was desperate to get the scale moving again... But I have been in a pretty good mood all day because of. I just hope I can see the same trend continue. I'm so close to goal. I wanna taste it!!

Ptod. Are you still doing the restricteds??

I could handle 3 bars a day for a bit. ;) Happy to hear it's working so well for you and making goal closer than ever. I'm just finishing up my second day of boot camp, and if the scale moves really well again tomorrow then I've decided to try eating a bar just every other day rather than every day as I have been doing since the start. I'm guessing anything we do other than what our bodies have gotten so use to is getting the scale to move again.
