You asked for it so here it goes......lol.....YOU are the ONLY one to control what you put in your mouth.....Think about why you are eating it....are you bored? eating it just because it is there? are you really tasting it? probably NOT.....Even though you are getting your compliments you are NOT done yet, you are just getting started. You need to STOP re-evaluate WHY are you doing this....are you doing it for YOU or someone else? If you are doing it for YOU, then YOU need to TALK to yourself.....ALOT....when you go to take that bite say....OH NO YOU DON"T....this will set you back from all of the hard work you have done....I AM WORTH IT.....You are spending a LOT of money, each time you "cheat" you are throwing money away!!!.....make yourself a jar....each time you think about cheating put $1 in it.....before long you will see just how much money you are wasting. GO BACK to the BASICS.....YOU CAN DO THIS....BELIEVE IN YOURSELF......NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!.......ok...I am done....lol

Goooood Afternoon from Hardy, BC

Dieter's forecast for today: Sunny! :) with a chance of "scale crime"

Now for todays TOP Dieter's Headlines:

A huge riot has taken place all over the IP dieting community.. People everywhere are taking extreme measures to get rid of there scales. According to reports, some people have been locking them up in cupboards while others have been tossing them off balconies, or locking them in car trunks. Though we can not say for the record, rumour has it, there are even scales being burnt at the stake. Our eyewitness reporter, went around the community to ask what has sparked this call for severe action on scales. One women responded by saying

"They're liars. All of them! They lie lie lie all the time to my face. I get on the scale one morning and it says "your down" and then i get on the scale the next morning and it says "your'e up" ... Well I've had it! This is the end for my scale. I will not take this rubbish of a scale anymore. It has to go!!"

Wow!! Thats quite the emotional women... Now we go over to live coverage in the court room where the judge will listen to the defense testify for why this crime against scales should stop... We were able to listen in on one testimony from a scale on the witness stand"

"I didnt do nothing wrong! I'm just a scale. My job is to tell the truth all the time. To show you up or down..to give you the real news on the weight of the matter...Why should i be punished because your body doesnt know how to let go of water? Why should i be thrown out, just because you ingested too much sodium. I have feelings too you know...I'm just sittin here doing my job..".

----------------------------------Pause---------------------------------------------------

Aaaaaand... were back folks..looks like the judge has made the verdict...We go live now back to the courtroom to hear the ruling...

Judge: I hearby find the defendent Innocent in regards to the charges of lying and going up and down.

However, since this scale issue has caused such an uproar, I am here by prohibiting you, the townspeople.. of weighing yourself on a daily basis.
Court is adjourned!!!


Well folks you heard it first here on IPTV!!

I phased-off IP and dropped out of the group for awhile. I'm back!! Hopefully with a vengeance (against the rest of the fat). I have a new, lower goal weight and a mini-goal of fitting into my tall riding boots by fox hunting season next month. The boots can be zipped with pants on at this time but too uncomfortable to ride in. I must stay 100% OP to achieve my mini-goal.

Good morning everyone!

My poor little boy (7 months old) was up all night with a cough and really congested, so we sat in the bathroom for a good hour with the steam on. It seemed to help. I hope we have a better night tonight because my daughter (4 years old) is a ball of energy and I dont think this mama can handle another day like this... sooo tired hahaha!

This morning for breakfast I made the crispy pancake it was SOOOO YUMMY!!! I only wish tere was another one! I found it wasnt as filling as the omelett or drinks. So I think I will use that as my snack instead of main meal. But it was pretty darn good!

It's a rainy day here so my hubby will want a hearty meal (he's a carpenter) because he will be super tired and famished after working outside for 10 hours in the rain. So needless to say my family is going to have this yummy curried culiflower and ham casserole with stovetop on the top..

I am going to make myself grilled chicken with roasted garlic mash, and sauted zucinni. It will be good! And for desert maybe a blended shake.

Its amazing how even after only 3 weeks I dont really have cravings and I dont have the temptation to eat the cfrap that everone else is. Because when Im eating my really healthy dinner I KNOW IM CANGING MY LIFE FOREVER!!! And that what makes it 'easy'!

Now that I am getting the hang of things. IP is the best thing I could have done fore myself.

I, too, am a daily weigher....Guilty as charged. We just can't help ourselves, right???

Something I read on here though for daily weighers is that you cannot compare your daily weight to what your weight was the day before. Always compare it to your last WI weight. By doing this, it will help to keep you focused on the big picture...not the little fluctuations. I didn't think this would make a difference, but it really does. I started doing this a couple of weeks ago and I feel so good inside when it is lower than my last WI...not always lower than the day before, but always lower than my last WI..

I just have a question. I have been on IP for 4 weeks and just found out I am pregnant!! Does anybody know if it's okay to stay on the program or modify it or stop completely?
